Gun world rant/question

[mtnboomr]

Never heard of Gunworld, where is it?

It's in Del City on Sunnylane south of 29th Street.

To show how much of an a**hole the owner is, many years ago when we still put on Hunter Safety Classes, Gunworld had only been open about a year or so. A couple of my fellow instructors went there to ask about putting on a class. The owner said, "Sure! How much do you charge for the class?" When the instructors said the class would be free, the owner suddenly wasn't interested.

I’m convinced that place is a front for something illegal.

Rumors of being in cahoots with the ATF have swirled for years.

It's a total scam there. It insults my intelligence to walk in that store at this point. During the major gun crunch I was looking for a G44. I called around to several stores (except for Gun World) and found one in OKC that said they had it in stock. I'd never been to that store before, and haven't since. They weren't as astronomically high priced as Gun World, but they were a very close second. They wouldn't quote a price for the G44 over the phone. When I got there, they had it stickered for $679! It should be around $350 (if memory serves). I'll follow previous posters in this thread and won't disclose the name of the store, but steer clear of 6214 Northwest Expressway unless you want over-pay. Just saying....

Good thing you won't mention Firearm Central. We wouldn't want to hurt any feelers.

Exactly.

Yes, I believe they were. But it was a long time ago and it's sure changed!

I bought a shotgun from a shop in Mustang back in the mid to late 90’s. I remember the name being Mashburn, but I could be wrong. Does anybody know what store was in Mustang, OK?

Never heard of Gun World before this thread, and I don’t think that I’ll be visiting anytime soon.

After all the chatter, I gotta go there. I'm gonna see if they have a muzzle loader Glock

For those of you (well some of you anyhow, not all) that already know about this place, why does it seem to make you mad and why would you ever go back? You can't do anything about it.

Exactly.

My experience with stores that have names like Emporium, World, Central in their title, is usually overpriced and lacking in CS.
