Just Back from Front Sight

[btell]

This may be the wrong thread for this, but, what are the hidden fees in joining front sight? For the last two months or so, ive been getting the emails from frontsight promoting the "last chance" lifetime membership for $500 instead of $10k. It sounds liie a good deal, but before i spring for two memberships, what else will i have to pay for? I get that food and lodging are not included, nor are ammo or gun rental. If we get the memberships, what else will we have to spend money on before we can show up and take the classes?

Memberships can be had for less than that. The only additional fee is $50 annually for a background check. You will also need someone to sign your character witness statement.

One thing to remember, you are supposed to stage you finger on the safety, if you want to run a mossberg AND a pistol grip, you cannot do it since the safeties location on the moss. No problems with the remington.

Anyone run a Benelli M4 in the shotgun course?

M4

A friend and I did the 4-day in December. He used a Benelli M4 with an Eotech 512. That gun was smooth and fast (for $2,300 it should be).

I couldn't help giving him some grief though when I equaled him using a borrowed 870 with a gold bead It's quite possible to DG with a pump.

The only advantage to an auto IMO is during malfunctions.

Did you say anything back to him? "You guys" sounds like he's calling you a nasty liberal that voted for anti gunners. Thems fighting words.

YUP!

Thems definitely fightin' words in my house. We live In San Bernardino County, the last bastion of freedom in SoCal for a reason. Buncha damn commies runnin the rest of the asylum, though, I think we have the most corrupt politicians here. They are too busy with getting their bribes they tend to leave us peasants alone. At least that's how it feels anyway.

Saigas need a lot of work before you can get them to run reliably IME. I see them on the competition circuit but never in a shotgun class. The ones that work have been tuned quite a bit.

Probably some luck too. Mine has never jammed... but I know thats not the norm....

The hidden fees is getting two e-mails daily from Dr. Piazza LOL. Anyway, it sounds like you are already getting his e-mails. So, no, no real hidden fees other than that.

But be sure before buying a membership to get it at the level you want. If you want to upgrade it at a later point, I think there is a charge for getting rid of your old one. I gave my daughter a Liberty Tree membership, but when I wanted to upgrade her to a Diamond membership I had, they wanted to charge me $500 to rid of the Liberty Tree she had. I haven't kept up with their membership rules since then, so check first.
