So today I'm at work and a new shipment of guns comes in. It's Christmas in August!! I opened up the first box and what should I find but a Remington 870 Express with a synthetic stock, 18" barrel and a 7 round tube. :bow: I had planned to order that exact gun sometime next month to live under my bed in case of any unannounced 'visitors'. I tried to buy it today but the department head wasn't around to approve my discount so it's sitting in the back until tomorrow. Next on the list is the S&W 686-5 with a 5" barrel sitting on the used rack. It's had a custom trigger job that is fricking SICK along with a light gathering front sight post. Oh, and it holds 7 rounds of .357 magnum. :thumbsup:

I worked in a gun shop in the 80's for about 7 years

Damn that was a cool job

Cool. My dream job, that floats around my spacious head, is to get my FFL and open my own shop.

The place I used to work in specialised in ex-mil and collectable weapons so we were able to see some really cool stuff


Do I miss it??

My Dad owned a gunshop from 67 to 90, we specialized in Pre-64 Model 70 Winchesters, and Lever action Winchesters. Sold all kinds of stuff also. I miss it. Now he is about to retire from the Wallyworld sporting goods department. I went on to HK then to CFI. I REALLY miss the good'ol gun shop days...

I worked a little for a Class III and Destructive Devices manufacturer in the 90's and that was fun. You want to take your work home with that job.

Please add a liquor store and Whore house to your gun shop and you have it made:xmas:

Roadrunner,

Do you guys sell phased-plasma rifles - in the forty watt range?

Only what you see on the shelf buddy. :-D


I think it would be cool, but I would be broke ALL the time.
