My local gunshop, of which I have bought every gun I own(5), several thousand rounds of ammo, and numerous gun supplies has always treated me well. I guess because I have a fair knowledge of what I want. I go in and shoot the poop with one of the guys behind the counter, and even invited him to my wedding, we'll call him joe.
I just went camping with my best friend, and best man, and he wanted to show me the new sling he had put on his shotgun. Said he paid $60 for it, cause it had to be "modified".
I asked exactly what happened. He said he went in and asked for a mount for a sling, and Joe went in back and grabbed an Uncle Mike's Sling mount, $13.00, the kind that clamps to the barrell, and screws into the stock. Then the owner, Tom, came and said, oh that's not the one you need, you need a different one, and it has to be modified, and said he would do it for him. So he takes the shotgun in the back for 15 minutes, and comes back with the sling mounted. takes it to the counter, and said that will be $60, since we had to modify it.
Now I know that my friend should have known what was going on, and told him to stuff it, but dang it, I thought I could trust this guy, and he goes and does something like this. Really pisses me off, and I can guarantee that shop will never see another dime of my money.
