I was charged $75.00 to have a set of night sites I supplied, put on my gun on Friday. Should I call back and complain?
The full story below....
I bought a used set of Night Sites ($42 landed) that had been taken off a HK USP 45 full size. I took them to a local gun shop on Monday and asked to have put them on my USP 45f without asking how much they would charge. He said his gunsmith was off and could I leave it. I said no problem as long as I could get it by the weekend. I called around noon on Friday (5 days later) and he was at lunch and it wasn't started yet but would be done in an hour. I called back an hour later and they just started it. He said the sites were loose and he would have to put dimples on the sites and use locktite. I said ok as long as it didn't alter the gun in anyway. I proceeded to the gun shop since it is less than 5 minutes away and he informed me it would be $75.00 and it took him almost an hour. I felt violated. The last night sites I had put on were last year at a different dealer and were $95 installed including the cost of the sites. Should I just suck it up and call it a learning experience never to do any business with this shop again? Should I call him Monday and give him the opportunity to redeem himself? Also the rear site wasn't even centered. I had to drift it almost 2mm's.
I feel violated to say the least. What does everyone think?
