That's what I spent the afternoon doing :D.
Customer #1. Will this work in my DPMS? (20rd AR magazine)
Salesperson. (picks up package examines, checks all fine print) No.
Me. Excuse me, what caliber is your DPMS?
Customer #1. .223
Me. Yes, it will fit.
Salesperson #1. Be sure to keep the receipt in case it doesn't fit...
Yup,sell something that you absolutely know nothing of,then get offended when called on your ineptness....
You know who there gonna vote for.......
Sounds like gander mountain employees.
LOL, no kidding. couple years ago, I had to explain Gander Mtn sales guy the difference between 450 marlin and bushmaster [Bang]Quote:

Sigh... gun store commandos... the worst offender is Specialty Sports. It's hard for me to keep my mouth shut listening to the line of crap some of them feed their customers. Wish I could set up a lemonade stand just outside the store and offer common-sense firearm counseling for 5 cents. "Good grief!" :-)
On a side note though - I've been consistently and pleasantly surprised by the guys at DCF Guns in Castle Rock (I'm not affiliated... just a loyal customer). I like to go into gun stores with an air of greenness the first time, to evaluate the character of the salespeople. They gave good advice and direction each time I went in, and I think they're solid on their knowledge.
You're not the first with that complaint about Specialty Sports... Do a forum search for Specialty Sports and you'll find all sorts of negative feedback.Quote:

I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo damn sick and tired of hearing those bullshit working at retail part time.
Usually, sporting good stores sometimes hire people who are good with plan-0-gram. They might have no idea about firearm accessories or firearms. THey hire them to work.
I was at gander a while back and one of the "experts" was trying to sell a g32 to a guy, and was telling him that the velocity of the .357 sig was over 2500 fps. I just walked off. as far as speciality sports goes its a great place to fondle neat stuff, hear great sales pitches, and buy it somewhere else.Quote:

Romney. They work at a sporting goods store after all. Or were you trying to insinuate that ONLY Obama had unintelligent supporters?Quote:

If this seems a bit harsh it's because it was intended to be. I'm SO damn sick of this stupid effing campaign/electric/clusterfuck and people who drag it into EVERY single conversation by any means necessary. Tomorrow can't come soon enough.[Bang]
Oh, he was an Obama supporter.Quote:
