GMG was ok. The owner at the Gun Room will never get my money again. What a rude asshole judging who is a gun guy and who isn't good enough to buy his used shit.

I also never had any issues at GMG. They were my preferred gunshop when they were at Jewell and Kipling. Never forget buying a very lightly used stainless Python there for $450. Prob around '98 or so. When they moved south I was moving in the other direction, so don't get there much anymore. Still- when I stop by, there are almost always a number of good deals to be had.
More times than not I read along with several posts, ingest the information and keep on moving along. The experiences I've had with this shop I felt warranted to let the forum know about for their own considerations as to whether they will support this shop or not. Simply because you favor this place for whatever unknown reason does not make my opinion any less or more than any other that's been posted thus far. To me, this was a perfectly fine way to 'introduce' myself around here. Good to know you disapprove though, I guess.
Just sold my Enfield No.5 through GMG. Hated to do it, but needed the cash to pick up a really sweet levergun swinging in front of my nose, which will get a LOT more use than the Jungle Carbine ever would. Easy peasy transaction. They always have lotsa cool guns in there on consignment, good thing I don't live close.
There's a lot more of us ugly mf'ers out here than there are of you pretty people!

I stopped by GMG yesterday and spoke with some of the staff about the change. (No new faces, so far.) One new thing is that the store will now give a 5% discount to "first responders," though I don't know how deep that goes. Good used selection. Same good prices.
I've had generally good luck at GMG. Bought a couple of items there over the years. I've overheard from some of the older employees there sounding like Fudds on a couple of occasions, but other than that, they do a solid job keeping the inventory stocked and the prices right. I like Machine Gun Tours with the exception of some of their prices seem to be pretty outlandish. Same to be said for BluCore.
