For those that would ever consider shopping with Select Fire

[smokey]

Had the same issue at On Target a while ago as well. Nothing like being chastised by someone who doesn't know the law.

It depends on who's helping. I actually prefer dealing with one of the ladies working there. They've all been nice and helpful. One younger guy always comments on my m&p's threaded barrel, I say, "yeah one of these days I'll have enough money to pick up a suppressor for it",...he says, "Pshh, not in maryland, that's illegal". This has happened a dozen times or so. I tried explaining the federal process for getting a suppressor the first time or two, now I just go through the routine, amazed that I'm having the same conversation with the same guy over and over again like groundhog day. On target is just around the corner from me and I usually have a very pleasant experience there, one or two underinformed workers aside. It was a little frustrating being muzzle banged today by customer after customer coming to the gun rental counter to trade out guns. Last week, I caught some motion to my 5 oclock while in my lane and noticed a single-action .44 pointed at my back by a guy in the lane next to me trying to get an omega lock out of it. I wanted to continue shooting, so I just offered to get it out for him...then waited a bit for the gun to find its way back to the lane shelf to continue shooting.

Whenever I go up to alucard's private range in PA, where it's $15/year for a 200 yd range where you can set up idpa stages, shoot on the move, do ballistics tests and have the whole range to yourself....it makes me further hate being stuck in balto-metro maryland.

One of my favorite times was being at Freestate and a guy began rapid fireing wildly and striking the floor several times. Nothing like seeing sparks and hearing things bounce around to get your attention. Fortunately his buddy stoped him with a "WHAT THE F%$K ARE YOU DOING?" If they had rules like Select Cheesesteak it would have never of happened.

Then you haven't been there in the recent past. Big sign right on the door-no loaded mags allowed.

Before the sign, I went in about 3 months ago and was chastised for having loaded mags and that it was illegal to transport that way...

Same experience some time ago. The mags were in a locked case that was in a locked rear of a truck. If it's store policy, fine. I don't need a lecture on the law and how I'd be arrested, seeing as the police would need x-ray vision to see inside a locked truck, inside a locked case. I notice that particular guy isn't there anymore. Not when I've been anyway.

It's interesting - their website states an 8 day release policy. Wait, not quite... it actually says "...will be released on the 8 working day."

They have so-called Glock 17 high cap mags for $65 - ouch.
I guess they mean standard magazines, but heck, for $35 you can get 33 rounders sent as repair kits: http://www.classiccityfirearms.com/index.php?l=product_detail&p=37

The most surprising is they are saying that you may purchase AR15 Lowers unitl the end of NOVEMBER and full "ARS" as long as they are on the dealers books before 10/1. Sounds like a misinterpretation.

Edit: I love the website's use of color and ALL CAPS LARGE FONTS! Very readable

Still F U N N Y

Own worst enemy..............

Select Fire....

Their own worst enemy.

Out of all the years I went there I never had a good experience. When I was screamed at about shooting too fast and having to space out the shots while using my pistol and yet the owner's son came out to the lane next to me with a full auto MP5 showering me and the floor with hot brass by the pound...I knew it was time to spend my money elsewhere. Even while doing the training classes there they did not have to space out the shots.

It does not matter who the owner is I will not go back because I believe Wayne will always have his hand in it.

This is me exercising my freedom of speech. If you do not like what I post on here do not blame MDS blame Select Fire for lessening the experience I paid good money to enjoy but did not.

LGS Etiquette

Gun shops being ignorant of such basic gun law does not help the shooting community, not to mention makes me never want to shop there.

Well, for about a 25 year period, I did not go to many local gunshops. I would usually just get ammo then leave. About 3-4 years ago, with renewed interest I started making some rounds, and was amazed at the poor and ignorant treatment that many LGS employee's displayed. I would look in the case and listen to some of the discussions, and wanted to just chime in when I would hear many lie and distort the truth. Either about laws or the guns themselves, and usually it was just because the employee was not current with proper information. I had bought a brand new house down near Quantico. I remember talking with a LGS employee on a forum one time, and the young guy SWORE UP AND DOWN that you could not purchase a fully automatic weapon. His store was only about 3 miles away from me, and I had been in there several times before meeting him on line. I bet him lunch, then, after about a week or 2, he never returned any of my messages anymore...hahahhahah I never did go in and speak to him in person though....I really do not like that type of confrontation anymore to be honest.

When I was younger, I was in Valley Gun shop, when they were in a little stone building in Towson, and a day later, a customer walked in, asked to see a shotgun, put a round in it, and , well, proceeded to take his head off. Took a few days to clean up that mess and open again.... I used to joke that the guy just could NO LONGER TAKE THE BS he was getting in there....

But, I have been lucky up here, I usually just deal with Bollinger's, but still do get around and check out the inventory of different stores from time to time. Still , a bunch of nasty, dumb employee's working it seems! And I still like to dip into listening to those conversations from time to time.

It just amazed me about the lack of customer support or rather, respect, that still goes on. I guess its like what I used to say about the car business: They survive and sometimes THRIVE, inspite of themselves!!! hahahahahaha

Anal warts

WOW That is just ONE NASTY ......PAINFULL...PENALTY!!

Hahahahahaha Man, I had NEVEReven heard of those, until I dated this nurse years ago. Where she worked, every Thursday was STD day, and she would tell me all these hilarious stories...hahahahaha The sex with her was pretty good, but,, the STORIES were even better!!

Check this out! I have my HQL, DC status, and previous mid year “ND" from Select Fire, and I called today to see if I can pick up my 9/30 lower receiver and I was told I couldn't because they waiting on my 9/30 app saying waiting for MSP to the background check... Wtf I have a HQL, DC status and I bought/receive a purchase from them (which means they MSP already done the background.) That is retarded.. No more purchases from them! The only reason I bought the lower receiver from the was because it was last minute and they had them on 9/30. Can't pick up a purchase when my background check alreadyed cleared.

I've been to a bunch of gun shops around the Baltimore area, so far my best experience so far has been at Duffy's. Prices are awesome, staff is knowledgable and friendly, was honestly pretty surprised, I'm used to encountering major douches at every gun store I've been to.

At first I was like how is this relevent to the thread? and then I saw you mentioned Select Fire at the end of your post...
