alquist arms

[k1dude]

I have to pipe in for Dean here. He related his experiences and it seems he was treated with disrespect by the owner of Alquist Arms. I too would have been put off by that type of behavior. Many gunshops/employees seem to have attitude problems. Perhaps Dean's personal experience there was a 1 in 1,000 exception to the rule, but this thread was asking about people's input and he gave his. Dean said nothing out of line that I can see. I think the attacks against Dean in this thread are unfounded. Many others in this thread haven't been happy with the store either.

Dean, thank you for sharing your experiences here. If I'm in the area, I would still give Alquist a chance and visit their store. But I will be on guard. I would still determine for myself if they are OK to deal with or not for my hard earned money. At the very least, I would hope that Dean's posts will cause the owner to be more careful about embarrassing a customer. So perhaps some good will come of his posts.

I know this thread is more than a month old now but I have to say

+1 for Alquist.

I have been shooting for about 6 years now and between me and my buddies have purchased over 20 guns from them. They know me on a first name basis. They do have the best selection/prices around the area imho. Richard does stay away from the OLL stuff but they do carry what they can, Ca-legal Bushmaster's, Kel-tec, Mini 14, etc. My buddy even purchased a M1919 from them. I can't really blame him for wanting to keep safe business practices, u prob would too if your business was your livelihood and he gets plenty of business w/ out oll's. Although it does seem to be a touchy subject in there. I have never been disappointed with their service period. Sure when they get busy someone may get overlooked and have to wait a little longer than they want but that's been my experience in most gun stores anyhow. Anyways if u r looking for a good selection of guns at a good price go to Alquist. If u need some gunsmithing done or ppt's , Schell's. Oll's = Sierra Arms.

I know this thread is old, but having read several pages of it, I have to say that I am appalled at the personal attacks leveled against someone making an honest report.

It is obvious to me that the attackers are lowlife gun store owner/employees and their supporters posing as Calguns members. To all of you and your "type" I sincerely wish that you DIAF.
