    Yay! My 11 day wait is over!

    Stupid Big 5.

    But here's the new addition to the safe.

    Make sure you file and sand down the insides of the folding stock. The first shot I fired with that stock was stupidly a 3" Magnum slug. The stock proceeded to slide my cheek open.
    Please, calm down.

      Thanks for the tip. I didn't even think of that. It is rather sharp.

        LOL! I just knew you meant Big 5 the moment I saw 11 days.........
        I will not be pushed, filed, stamped, indexed, briefed, debriefed or numbered....
        I am not a number! I am a free man

        1.)All humanity would be better off if Stoooopid hurt.
        2.)Why is it that if guns are sooooo unsafe that you're 9 times more likely to die at the hands of your doctor?
        3.)Remember...Buy it cheap & stack it deep

                  Good thing you weren't able to pick it up today as you surely would have raised hell and starting shooting up schools and poor little babies!!!

                    It's so stupid employees wont give out the gun too early and the company wont get prosecuted or lose its license because of it. I've seen some real numbnuts at Big 5, so it's a wise company policy.

                      Actually Big 5 will let you pick up on day 10, but they write down day 11 just to cover their arse. I picked up my other shotty on day 10, no problem. Even the girl who did my 4473 said I could pick it up on day 10 after the time written on the receipt, but still wrote day 11. It's just one of their quirks.

                      As for the accessories. It's an ATI stock with an ATI shroud and ghost ring sights. I did buy a forend grip, but it doesn't seem to even remotely fit right. So I'll have to send it back and get a different brand.

                          Boy I feel alot better now. I thought I was the only one that they put the 11 days on. I even made a copy of the ten 24 hour period law and brought it down there with no luck. Although I understand why Big5 does it ..... most of the staff I have encountered there are not competent enough to tell time.

                            I could have picked it up today?!!! Darn it is closed now... i guess i will have to pick it up after class . I can't stand this intense wait, i even had to eat a bunch of food just to avoid waiting. Well at least I will have the best gun in my house.

                              Big5 seems to hate to sell guns. When i ask for self defense ammo (slug rounds), they almost went pale and tried to sell me target practice ammo. Then they said "well we could sell you this if you really want to kill someone, we really want people to have bird shot to scare intruters off". I said that i would like the ability to kill an intruter to protect myself. I guess me going in with a backpack coming home from college made them nervous.
