[QUOTE="berserk, post: 2928495, member: 6164"] After the run on ammo a few years ago I stopped shooting or looking at gun related web sites for the most part. I got tired of waiting inline for hours before a store opened to buy two boxes of ammo. Then two weeks ago a friend told me he bought a new pistol and I decided it was time to look around at local shops. I wanted to change a few things on my Colt 6920 to make it a SPR clone, so I called or went to literally ALL the shops I could find looking for an 18" precision barrel. I was pleased to find some good AR parts at places like Kings Pawn, Cold Hand Arms and Village tactical but they didn't have the barrel I wanted. So after looking online I found Fat Boy Tactical, they have very cheap prices on there barrels which to me is a red flag for quality. So I called during business hours to see who makes the barrels for them and some specs. First call no one answered, an hour later I called again with no answer so I leave a detailed message, 24 hours later no call back! So I decided to just call them about 5-7 more times throughout the day, they never ANSWERED!! I was frustrated and called them back and left another message to let them know I would do business else where so there was no need to return my call. In the meantime I decided to make a trip out to Marks Firearms. It had been 2-3 years since I had been in the moore shop so I looked up the hours and headed down there from Edmond. When I walked up to the door it was LOCKED, I went back to my car and called the number and Mark didn't answer. So after thinking on it I remembered the last time I was there(prob 3 years ago) the same thing happened! At that time the store is supposed to open at 11:00 but it was around 11:30 and the door was still locked so I called and left a message and heard back in about ten minutes. So I decided to leave a message and drove around the packed moore traffic for 20 minutes getting more and more frustrated. In the end I called back and left a message telling him the same thing I told FBT Ill do business else where. FOUR hours later he calls back and leaves a message saying he was laid up with GOUT! There was no message on his voice mail telling his customers this when they called, no note on his door! I know his store phone is forwarded to his cell so he could have at least answered his phone during the day and let his customers know his situation. Its a good thing I didn't wait around in Moore for longer than I did. I don't know the FBT guys as there 1 hour and 45 minutes away from me but I would have made that drive and spent around 300-500$ to get what I was looking for. Ive known Mark for years just as a customer from the gun shows and always thought he was a good guy. But if this is the way they do there business, I guess I'll stick to online sales or the few shops I mentioned. [/QUOTE]
