Wade's, great place...at least I've thought so since he wrote me a bad check for an AR15 upper I sold to him.
That and all his employees are the biggest bunch of BSers I've ever seen. I got really tired of listening to it every time I went there.
One guy decided he was going to lie his ass off to me one day...never went back for gun purchases or range time after that.
I asked why they didn't have any reloading supplies in stock...He says they "never" did and no one in the state does cuz there isn't any profit in it, he goes on and on.
The big expert.
When I said Ive been buying it there and places all over Washington for 20+ years and they had "x" brand of bulk bullets sitting in the middle of the showroom last week and etc, he shut up, turned red, and left.
The place is packed with these guys.
Oh, and last time I bought a pistol there I asked the Ranger master for cleaning supplies, he had no problem giving them to me. I broke the gun down and gave it a quick once over and then slapped it back together.
He watched me do it.
The ammo I purchased was still, obviously, in the bag.
The magazine was out.
....So what does he do ?
He screams at me "Show clear!!!" "Show clear!!!"over and over and put his hand on his weapon.
They knew me and I had been going there for many years and they knew better than to think I would do anything weird or unsafe. Let alone load up in the lobby and point a weapon at him or anyone else.
I didn't say anything weird, or make any wierd motions.
He just nutted up out of the blue.
Brain tumor maybe ?
Then a friend of mine tells me he bought an LMT complete lower from them. Says the guy was nice enough to sell him and RRA 2 stage match trigger too.
I pointed out that it came with a 2 stage match trigger and pointed to the left over parts he had in a little bag.
Most obviously not a standard GI trigger.
Ok, maybe the HTS set that came with the LMT wasn't as good as the RRA, but still...
Oh, and they over charged him for the whole package by about $120.00
Nice.
Needless to say, My opinion of Wade and his shop is very, very low.
I have had Gunsmithing done by Steve @ Champion and I trust his shop.
Same with FAS.
They are good guys.
