I have to disagree. I've had a few clients over the years. Complete douchebags. Got exactly what they wanted so we could get them to go the hell away.

 

Steph,

 

I want a WWII garand in mint/near mint condition , all for under $500. I will not stop badgering you until you give in to my demands.

Your "clients" are a completely different issue...

Send me via PM your name and I will fwd it to phil.

 

As far as attitudes... guys, if you want something... you cant act like a douche... whether the recipient deserves it or not.

 

Personally I enjoy shooting there, like many people, however unless it is on the shelf... I am leery.

 

Thank you for the offer. Much appreciated. I called again today and the shot gun was in. Apparently they forgot to tell us it was there. The sig is "right behind" it. So we'll see. We do really like shooting there so we'll continue to go...live and learn on the purchasing part.

Let Steph alone. Back on topic here...

 

Here's a business that lies in wait for the uninformed neophyte and then takes every advantage they can. We have seen it over and over again. We all know that their cash-flow problems lead to this kind of treatment. I am at a total loss as to why informed forum members continue to patronize this business. Especially in the face of their stated dislike of said members.

 

Maks, you're right, once the deal is done, you don't want to antagonize, but why further their bad behavior by patronizing the business and giving them a voice on this forum. If ever there was an entity crying out for the "ban-hammer" this is it. I don't care how much I enjoy a particular activity, I'm not going where I, and my peers, are abused and scammed and BA has a demonstrable history of that type of behavior. I'd rather be inconvenienced than to give my money to someone that treats me the way BA treats their patrons.

 

When I get mistreated, I vote with my wallet.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

Hear hear Pizza Bob!

 

I just do not get it. Don't get it. Makes ZERO sense to me that people go there.

 

Already paid for my membership, they dont get any additional business from me. In fact if i stopped going i would be helping them because they wouldnt have to pay to dispose of all my lead.

 

Will i renew? Nope...i'll be at old bridge if i'm still in jersey at that point.

Same here. After this whole ordeal I wish I didn't already purchase a membership, but since I did I'll continue to go until my membership expires, but I won't renew and won't spend anymore money there.

That's how I see it. Even if it doesn't matter to them or it doesn't affect them, it will still make ME feel good, like I'm stickin it to them.

 

It does affect them. I shot there once a while back with a few of you guys before I was living here. After reading all the reviews on here I would never deal with them, nor would I suggest them to the 6 people I have convinced to get their FPID's since I have moved here. I know in this state that the more shooting ranges the better, but we shouldn't settle for sub-par service.

I just have a quick question that's just a bit off topic...

 

What research did you do prior to committing to BA for your purchase? I'm assuming that you did that before coming to the forum and learning about this community of helpful and sharing gun owners, and I'm wondering if you had come here first, would you still have followed the same course?

 

What kind of outreach can we as a group make to people like you, who aren't aware that NJGF and other groups exist and are about to just get involved in guns and shooting in NJ?

FNG and AKA0314... if you want a change of scenery I'll guest you in to Shore Shot some time. Not a problem. I get it though when you already have a membership. Makes sense.

 

Sounds good, but you need to guest me into some place where i can shoot over 25 yards, i'll love you forever then.

By the way, AKA0314, how did you make out yesterday? You didn't buy a Kimber did you? I heard BA came into SS last night to buy a Kimber for a customer that bought one and BA never ordered it.

 

 

Thanks for the offer about sure shot. Picked up the shotgun yesterday. They said it came in last week, but forgot to call. The other is "right behind it" according to them so we'll see. No, it's a Sig I'm waiting for now, but it sounds like I'm not the only one going through this with them now. I'm sure the employees there who have nothing to do with the ordering love getting calls everyday from pissed off people looking for guns they bought.

My wife had purchased a glock from them. Since it was in stock we had no issues. As I said, we had shot there and really liked the staff. Had I found this forum prior to placing my orders with them I definitely would NOT have bought through them and probably wouldn't have become a member either.

 

As far as outreach I don't have any ideas off hand, but I can tell you I wish that I had found this forrum months ago. I've done a lot of research on the internet while applying for my permit (I was originally denied and went through an appeal)and would have loved some advice from everyone here while going through that process.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      By leahcim · Posted

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
