Overheard at academy gun counter

They have a serious attitude problem at Dong's. And it's actually the name of the former owner, a Vietnamese guy, who I believe passed away a while back.

Fong Dong. I heard he was alright when he ran the place but that was before my time.

Ive been inside Dongs exactly one time. Back when Saiga 12s were going for $450-$500, they wanted $1200 for one and then told me that they are banned, so the one they had for sale would be my last chance to buy one. This was before I let on that I knew anything about them. In fact I purposely asked if they had "one of those shotguns that look like an AK" when he first approached me.

I then showed him 4-5 links on my iPad where they were plentiful and selling for more than half of what his was. He just kinda sneered when I asked if there was something that made his special.

They also had a scar for $25,000.00

Old man Dong was a good man. I used to shoot with him at Red Castle. Little guy out there shooting 44 Mag like it was nothing.

I don't know about now as I have not darkened the doorway in the teens decade, but they were once bigots that worked there. There were thread after thread on here. Don't know if it made the several migrations and dumps we had though.

Won't go to Dongs. Ever again!

Sometimes you have to just hold your nose and drop money at Dongs. I know, I know… They can be real tools and the whole $60 magpul mags and $99 bricks of 22 really turned me off to be sure.

Sometimes I need what I need and I can just about guarantee they have Gold Dot 357 Sig in stock at a normal price. I bought my Buckmark there because they were the only vendor in Oklahoma that had a fluted Buckmark URX Grey light in stock and believe it or not they were about $30 cheaper than I could order it anywhere.

I bought the mint condition 870P takeoff furniture they had sitting on the shelf for $35 and it looks just like the $100 it would have cost via mail order. Now my 870 looks cool. LOL

Sorry folks, I’ll buy what I need at the lowest price I can find it. I would prefer to spend my money at 2A or Stillwater Armory because they are pretty good folks “And I have quite a bit” but I owe it to my family to save anywhere I can $$$$.

Personally, I don't like dongs. But, to each his own.

Dongs= an necessary evil. If they have it and you can't get it any where else, well its a necessary evil place.
