Another thread got me thinking about this, anyone else play any "pranks" on the other regulars at your local gun shop? (Assuming you're also a regular). Our local shop is kind of a hangout / hub where regulars are always exchanging ideas and knowledge. It was bound to happen that we would start messing with each other. Couple of examples;
I had a Browning BPS pump 10 gauge shipped to my LGS, it was still in the box with a bunch of packing tape on it. When I cut it open, I discovered not a Browning but a beat up Norinco Hawk 12 gauge! I didn't know if it was a mistake or the GB seller was trying to pull something but eventually everyone started laughing and they pulled out my Browning from behind the counter.
Another time we had a nice .308 rifle come in on consignment, the owner didn't have an exact price on it yet and my buddy really wanted it. It was a $1,200 rifle but we staged it so I had an open 4473 form and my license on top when he walked in the next day, and told him the seller only wanted $400 for the rifle so I was scooping it up (after he had said how much he wanted it the day before). The look on his face was well worth it.
So how about it, any prank stories? Kind of juvenile I know but if you can't laugh in life you might as well call it quits now.
