Jack went way out of his way to help me get the exact rifle I wanted from an extremely frustrating manufacturer - I couldn't imagine any other FFL putting in as much phone-time with a company simply for the sake of helping out a first-time customer. Additionally, I had a tricky muzzle brake pinned/welded to this new rifle, and the work was absolutely top notch - I could not be happier with the gunsmithing. I appreciate all of the time and energy that went into getting me what I wanted, and I have never met another dealer that was so concerned with making my happiness their number one priority. I'd like to thank him for his exceptional service, and I would encourage anyone to contact him regarding their future firearm purchases / gunsmithing needs. Thanks again, Jack - you'll certainly be hearing from me again soon! -Kyle

You guys are quite convincing - I went back today and got it! Thanks for all your input!

I have been interested in purchasing a used Remington 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge - I primarily want to shoot skeet with some friends, but nothing too serious. I found one today in a gun store in PA. I don't have much experience with shotguns, but it seemed to be in good condition. Everything was tight, and there was no rust or excessive wear anywhere inside of the gun. The blueing on the receiver and barrel looked good, but there were a few scratches/dings on the top of the receiver - these seemed to be only cosmetic, like the gun had been dropped on the concrete or something. There were a few scrapes on the stock and foreend, but these also didn't affect the function. The gun was chambered in 2 3/4 and came with a fixed modified choke and a 28" barrel - I believed it was vent ribbed. The serial number (S067553V) indicates that it was manufactured in 1968. The store wanted $299 for the gun, and they wouldn't budge on the price. Unfortunately, I didn't think to grab any pictures, but I was close to buying it before I turned away. The gun had been there for 4 weeks, and I figured that it would have already been gone if it were an outstanding price - also, the dings on the receiver made me somewhat uncomfortable. I am now wondering if I should go back and get it, or if it's worth holding out for one that is less expensive or without any damage to the receiver/wood. I should also mention that I have checked out both the 870 Express and the Mossberg 500, and neither felt as tight or looked as nice as the Wingmaster, despite the multiple blemishes. I figured I'd see if anyone could give me some advice or sway me either way, as I am having a tough time making the decision by myself. Thanks!

I ordered an M44 as soon as this was posted, and it arrived yesterday - it really is in extremely nice condition, and I can't wait to get it home once the NICS comes through.
