what's with gunshops.

The reason why Gun City, Hunting and Fishing, etc, mainly sell Gamo is because they are the leading brand at a reasonable price.

Speaking specifically of the store mentioned (Gun City, Napier) - they are one of my local suppliers and I now consider myself a regular customer there.

My experience of them has been great. The staff there have motivated me to get my FAL and are always willing to help me out even if I am just browsing. Between them and my local independent (who are also great) I have most of my needs covered.

Glad they gave you good service. What two stores?
I've found the branch in napier not upto scratch on air guns.
But I've run into a few gun shops that just sell air rifles for xtra profit and just think of them as toys for plinking. Most seem to deal with one maker which to me indicates they are locked into exclusive contracts. That isn't in the interest of air gunners. None of them sell just one brand of powder burner.
Same with pellets.
But just my experience. Only with shops around hb so far.

Got you like that. Can't put the money thru till later tonight but youngs has the part packed and sent me the tracking number. That is awsome.

So in the intrest of making sure that ppl have a full picture, I have a 18inch barrel and shoulder stock paid for and should be sent monday ( ive said not worry about posting it before then as it wont get here till next week anyway)
I'll be notified when the steel breach arrives.
Its taken way to long for this, but things unlike the other couple of days have been smooth and quick today and all issues resolved.
Im not sure if Im dealing with a differnt person but wish it went like this a couple of days ago.

Young’s is owned by Ron, shopfront run by a guy named Ron, repairs are done by Ron (most repairs in the country sent to him), importing, buying, etc done by Ron.. he’s old school and his receipts are written on contact pads. His website is average to say the least, but he isn’t going to operate an online inventory - it’s not the way he works and isn’t going to change.
If he doesn’t get back to your emails he’s likely working on a drop of 30 Gamo repairs for gun city, or trying to sort an order to make sure we don’t run out of pellets.

You could say it was supposed to come with the other bits, but they didn't mention them in the add. at the time, so they were not part of the purchase price.
