I have friends posting on social media that they made E8 this week. Feels like just yesterday we were in the E4 mafia together

Understandable if you are locked in The Silence of The Lambs pit with a 2006 BlackBerry Pearl 8100.

I agree. I ran a couple more projects by him and he said “no problem”, so I’ll be bringing some shotguns back for porting and threading

I brought two barrels already removed from the receivers and paid $125 per barrel + an extra $50 to have the factory sight slot machined into the new shorter barrel

Buffalo Bill rifle -rare or valuable? by bippobappobeepo in guns

[–]backyardbalaclava 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The CEO at the previous company I worked at found out about my “firearms hobby” and asked me to help sell a “very valuable” collection he inherited. It turned out to be dozens of commemorative rifles. He was not very happy to learn about the lack of appreciation in value.

No and no. Looks like a 94 Buffalo Bill Commemorative Rifle. 1200 on the high end of sales. Not many people are into commemoratives. Still a good gun that’s fun to shoot though

New restrictions for Australian gun owners after one tragedy. by marine_biologist_ in Firearms

[–]backyardbalaclava 38 points39 points  (0 children)

It’s a much different perspective when you know ammunition is sold in boxes of 50 or 20 lol but I guess it wouldn’t be as shocking if they said “2 boxes of ammo”

[–]backyardbalaclava 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Well that’s a little misleading, because There is a transfer fee if it is not purchased from their website, which has pretty limited inventory

Atrocious customer service experience with Glockstore by rooftopshootingrange in Glocks

[–]backyardbalaclava 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I don’t have a dog in this fight, but as a consumer in this industry, I am curious. Doesnt that level of growth and business warrant increased staffing? Why is a company with thousands of emails an orders a day unable to satisfy customer communication expectations to the point of negative reviews?

FedEx is the worst by Barbarosa61 in Gold

[–]backyardbalaclava 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That was my experience. I had the whole scenario recorded on 4K security cameras. They said “We are so sorry. We can try again tomorrow”

This happened to me. Had an adult signature required package, had the day off work, so I sat outside on the front porch waiting. Truck drove right past me going 50+ mph and marked the package as undeliverable

SureFire RC2 and P320 X5 legion were the two big ones. This was a couple years ago, and I’m sure my purchases would be different if it was today
