not to mention they made us wait for people that were merely looking at guns in the back (people that had came in after us) at the mere "hopes" some fool would buy one of there overpriced guns....

I want to hear more! I went there once and never again, but I always love seeing other people get caught in their web. Can ya give us a nice detailed specific post? I enjoy adding another soldier to my Anti-Gunworld Army.

I had the same situation with hill billy there. I bought a tikka from hill billy and we did the ppt there because they were the only one's open that day or something. I went on a weekday after work, so I had to haul *** there to be there before they closed. They close at 6pm and I got there at 530p. Walked in and one of the guys (dark hair) was already doing paperwork with someone. We asked if we'll be able to do the PPT and he RUDELY said I doubt it because I'm already doing paperwork with this customer. I was pissed because I drove there from OC on a weekday in traffic, and all we could do was wait. The guy acted like it would take too long to do the transfer and didn't know if they would help us.

Long story short.... some other guy finished whatever he was dong and WAS able to do our PPT in about 10min. We were both pretty pissed with the way the first guy treated us (second guy seemed okay).

I did put a mental note in my head to never buy anything from there even though they had a nice selection of guns.

Wow! Didn't know this many people hated this place. Been here about a handful of times and was treated great. It's been about 8 months since I was there so maybe things have changed.

Ive heard of quite a few bad experiences with that place from others although Ive never been there so I have no first hand knowledge. If they are anything like Gretas in Simi Valley I will stay away.

You should have returned the $200 in merchandise and taken your PPT to a shop that cares about their customers.

pretty much treat PPT's like meth and the people who want to do a PPT like meth heads.

they get butt- hurt because they are not selling the gun.

if they feel that strongly against PPT's they should speak up to the State and ATF... not take it out on the customers!

I bought a few guns from them about 6 months ago or so when NOBODY else had guns to sell. I was treated well, but I knew I was probably paying $ 50-100 over what a good deal would be. With the cost of ammo, paying a little extra to get the gun I want when I want it doesn't bother me much. Plus, living in L.A. City makes buying stuff over the internet a pain, plus shipping, plus transfer. No gun store makes much on a PPT, but it is very short sighted of them to treat you badly. I mean, you're obviously a gun buyer, DUH, so you would think they'd bend over backwards to treat you well so you'd come back and buy from them. Guess they're just not too bright.
