nearest LGS to me is 50 miles at least. its a shame in a way but when i was forced to start buying 8# ers becase of shipping/hazmat it helped my shooting. looking back cant believe i tried to do much accuracy work with 1#ers all those years.Hello All
Thread topic says it all. While waiting on a custom upper assy to be built I have been making some modifications on the lower assy. Needed a different buttstock, got a Magpul PRS Gen 3 got it for the adjustable comb so could get good eye alignment with scope. Upon finding out the buffer tube was commercial and not mil spec, I called the LGS , yes they had mil spec buffer in stock. Went to town for a blood test at the local medical center,( which I had studied for), then to LGS. Had been in there before , they have only been open maybe 4 or 5 yrs. Couple of brothers running the store, both super friendly. However not customer wallet friendly.
After paying at least twice maybe three times what I could have bought a buffer tube online and had delivered to the house with free shipping I left that local store and told myself no more with them. Did not say anything to the young business owner did not make a scene, however, will not be back in that store. Can't and wont refer anyone to them. My mistake for not asking price when I called. Always supported the locals, tried to keep money in town, however, no more.
