Has this happened to you.

I boughta blackhawk at a gun shop. I also spoek with a gunsmith (in house) about doing some work on said gun While it was in its "10 days of gun jail" and dropped off the parts so they could be installed while it was "in jail". I came back about 5 days later at the smith's request to check out the trigger pull and fell in love with the gun. When I left it, it was PERFECT! When I came back 5 days later to pick up I discovered that one of the employes was twirling it and dropped the gun causing a LARGE scratch down the backstrap.

I was a little angry to say the least.
I got an aplopgy and they told me that the employee was fired as this was the last straw wit the shop owner. I didn't get my gun fixed though... I took home and fixed it myself. Trust was gone and will never come back. Now if I go there I ask the gunsmith to keep my gun on his bench away from any idiots...

Can you come back tommorrow was the answer i got.
Did they offer any kind of compensation for your time and inconvience? Like you said what if you had taken the day off.

Bought my first shotgun from Big 5 a perfect 10 days from Dove season opener. Get to Big 5 and learn they can't find it. Wait and wait and wait til they finally found it, "Ooooh, I didn't know it was in a box!"

So I make it home without buying a lock for it. Few weeks later the manager calls wanting me to come back in and buy a trigger lock. I told him it would be a few weeks as I was really busy with work. He got all pissed and told me I better be back in the next 24 hours. I laughed pretty good after I told him I would be contacting DOJ about his not selling me a lock. Called DOJ and they informed me the j lock on an 870 is legal and nothing to worry about. Won't go back to Big 5 though.

Sometimes if I buy something and DROS it, I'll take it apart and DROS as frame only.

Kind of hard to play with the frame.

I don't bother if I know or trust the folks at that particular shop. I miss doing DROS's at the Burbank firing line
