Here is my experience the last year with local shops. I wanted to get a Sako rebarreled. First guy couldn't do it since he didnt' have a reamer. Next guy couldn't get the barrel off. Sat at Albrights for 8 months and they never even touched it but I kept getting the two week line, when I could even get someone to call me back. Finally got a smith to do it for me. And it took him less than a week.
Now I want to buy a hangun. I check with the local shops and none of them have any in stock that I want. I found a trade online. Crazy Louie won't do registered hanguns. Shooter's Supply won't send out their FFL. Big Brad won't do it for someone who hasn't been a customer. (Figure it out, if I come in for a transfer there is usually a few other things I'm going to get with a new gun. Now, I'm not even going into your store. Because I'm not going into your store, I have no idea what you have to sell) Finally Manchester steps up to the plate.
Still want a second hangun so guess who's going to get my business. Why do local shops have to make it so hard when this state already makes it difficult.
