[QUOTE="ShurShot, post: 2939043, member: 19605"] Wow, I can't believe I'm seeing all of these excuses being made for the seller and gun shop. You must be a bunch of 'millennials' lol! Christmas at my house is December 24th/25th. We get together, eat good food, and share gifts. If I step out and spend a chunk of cash and go through the emotions of getting something I think is a special gift for my son, giving it to him at the Christmas event is part of the package. If a derelict at the gunshop I carefully selected to help me out based on positive reviews on OSA blows my plan and becomes unavailable, my Christmas day/gift is ruined. Oh, here's that gun I bought you a week later isn't really the same. I have to go to Christmas dinner with my MIL tomorrow night but for me, Christmas is over, so whatever, it won't feel like Christmas dinner, I already had those. She could have come but you know, didn't feel well. (typical) I'm planning my New Year's party and wrapping my son's new Marlin 60 for his b-day next weekend. Fortunately I already have it. It just wouldn't be the same if I had to give it to him on like, Jan. 13th or something. I'm with the OP. Sorry they screwed up your experience. Sounds like a cool gift and gesture on your part. Of course, he'll still dig the gun but I'm totally on your side. [/QUOTE]
