    I live basically right down the street from them. I've been in there once and as is typical for these places, their firearms were way overpriced. Either way, knowing what happened to you, I will definitely not set foot in there again. Thanks for the heads up.

    Their ammo prices have always given me a laugh. What's bad is during the ammo crisis, people were actually in there buying the stuff.

    I have been in there just enough times to know that no one ever waits on you. I have wandered around looking at guns and ammo and so on and no one has ever asked if I needed help. They just walk on by......and so will I.......

    Yup-I stood at the gun counter(alone) forever one day and they kept chatting among themselves and I finally just left after telling the Mgr. what I thought about their customer service.

    I will confess I took advantage of their ATI 223 sale this last week, but that is the ONLY reason I went in there. I too live a stones throw away and will NEVER purchase a firearm from them.
    About 3 years ago I was perusing the used rack and they had a standard Springfield M1A that had seen a hard life. Front sight broken, rear sight missing and forend cracked. I thought it might make a good project piece if the price was right. I flipped the tag over and they were asking $1299.00
    I asked one of the salepersons if that price was correct and she sent the Hunting manager over. He told me that the price was correct and non-negotiable because this was a rare M14.
    I chuckled to myself and asked him what made it an M14. He told me that only Springfield made M14 rifles. I asked him if it was select fire. He told me yes, I could select safe or fire.
    I laughed out loud and told him he may know all about an A bolt or Citori but he needs to learn a bit about his Battle rifles.
    About a year later I learned they are a good place to get rid of a junk gun. I picked up a NIB Bushmaster A2 that just would not run. I changed the gas rings, lapped and staked the key etc but no matter what I did it just would not run. I sent it back to Bushmaster but even when it came back it still would not run.
    took it to Gander and they gave me $50.00 more for it than I paid for it. No "Gunsmith Inspection" or anything.
    Beware of any used firearm at Gander

    I think I remember seeing that one,, I just laughed at it.. I think they were afraid to come over anyway.. Couple of weeks later, I was at the HD near there so I dropped in. The price was lowered by $25...
