    I see no problem with publicly complaining about shitty retailers, might improve the quality in general, and if they're being unjustly criticised they can join up and defend themselves

    They wont listen anyway they make there money from the niave and gullable. Educated punters only bother when theres a sale or no other avaiable stock.

    Dealt with them before I was in the trade and while a bit pricey on some stuff they were often the only ones who would have the items. Asked one of the guys why that was one day his answer We buy the entire stock lots sometimes" fair enough I thought .

    Now I deal with them from time to time in the shop both their w/sale division and get the odd hard to find gun from the shop side as they will occasionally sell those to us as well. Never had any real issues either way .

    That's the key. Same thing goes for that thieving fucker in Dunners that owns the fnh thing. He is believe it or not worse than those in chch, but the dumbarses still walk in the door and throw money at the fuckwit.

    As Gimp said, he has bought direct from Beretta.

    Anyway, I'm not looking for an argument, especially over GC! I was just saying there is some good there, not all rotten eggs.

    Im going to be the devils advocate and say they have their place.

    I personally dont buy there, but others do.

    If you dont like them dont shop there. they wont miss you

    the bones of this is they have a slightly higher margin and their service isnt top knotch.
    not enough reason to get upset over.
    they screwed you over in the past? get over it. dont shop there again

    They basically appeal to people who have a loose interest in guns and walk in off the street and go "Wow! Look at that!"

    Their 870's are actually pretty fuckin good. I should say their Norinco 870's. I may still get one and use a side saddle to cover up the GC logo.

    They are fucking heavy but mine lasted the season and never jammed so it cant be bad. the best thing was its cheap and chips and it didn't bother me taking it anywhere. Had it covered in sand and still went.

    You must be on crack
    I thought the one I handled was the biggest bucket of puss I've ever seen - rough and loose dont even come close to describing

    The ones I've used I have been impressed with the quality for the price.
