Help With Ruger Mkii Rip Off

[accel]

Hi I gave my ruger Mk II to a local gun store for full detailing. they said $40. now he called and said it was really bad when they opened it and it took more than three hours to clean it so he wants $120. He never called to ask before doing the work. am i being ripped off - can a Ruger Mk II take that long to strip down and clean completely? thanks

Spam?

Could have had Traxxis do it for $30. That sounds shady if they didn't replace parts...

maybe

Yup, I'd have done it for $30. Of course, I might have told you to find somebody else to do it next time! I haven't taken one of those apart yet, but I hear they're a pain!

Besides, it should take 2 or 3 hours to clean a gun properly anyways... but then again, I'm kinda anal.

Thanks for the referral PD!

They did it without asking or aproval after you got a price?
You should let everyone know who did this to you so we don't deal with them.

If they did have to replace parts make sure you get the old parts they took out.

Looks like you have to go to London to get it done.....

Thats the problem right there, they don't allow handguns in London so blackmarket fees are involved.

They don't charge in dollars either!
