Hey all, just a quick PSA.
Summer time is odd in the gun industry, where with competition schedules, and people out shooting in general, some times things slow down... but not always.
This becomes a problem because, we are plenty busy, but our suppliers and manufactures are changing tooling, starting new projects, or just down stocking till fall.
What this means to us is, parts come in, as well as complete guns, on a somewhat erratic schedule. Between minimum orders, and extended lead times from the manufacturers, we can have 90% of a build, and be waiting on those one or two components.
Everybody wants to have their new toy right now, but there are only so many legos to go around at once. We always get more, but the last guy in the door may be waiting till next week.
My purpose isnt tonget you to bum rush our doors in the morning, but rather to encourage you to check your gear.
If you have a class, a match, a camping trip, or anything else coming up, dont wait till the last minute to find out your favorite blaster is down, or out of ammo, or an accessory broke.
Give yourself time to make sure it all works, go to the range with your guns st least once before the match or class, and make sure youre ready to go.
Mike does a wizard job of keeping us stocked up (thats what hes actually doing in the back all day), but we cant order what the suppliers dont have. And even when they do, shipping times are effected by weather, staffing, and all other number of things.
Weve been bitten by "overnight shipping" enough times not to trust that either. Sure, they refund the shipping costs, but that doesnt get you your stuff.
So, take the time to lay out your gear. Dry test it, check it, live fire it, clean it. Have more batteries, mags, and ammo than you need.
And if its a new build, plan it out with enough time to gind the parts you really want, and get it test fired before a class or match. In fact, i wouldnt use a gun i built this summer in a match this summer. Not as a primary, anyway.
We will do everything we can to get you the builds, guns, or accessories you want, but we are the tiny shop at the end of the chain, and when we tug on it as hard as we can, it still doesnt do much.
So, give yourself, us, and all the other friendly area shops time.
Because the best Veruca Salt impersonation in the world wont have that rifle ready for yhe big match in a week.
