I prefer mega sports worth the drive for us (about an hour in traffic), guys are nice usually you dont stand there too long. Main thing is the range is clean and well kept unlike a few others around here that are your typical hole in the wall places. I have spent a ton of money there on firearms (so far 4 iirc)

Finally after 20 mins I kinda budged in on the salesman and said can you please pass my the ak underfolder so I can double check the fit it will only take 1 min. Of course I have to show my foid card just to FOLD the damm stock underneath , after a min I thank him and on my way. I go around asking salesman if they have the cleaning rods for a ak 47 , no one knows and has no clue , one showed me the regular cleaning supplies.

Frustrated I go to the ammo and notice they only have 2 diff kinds of 7.62x39 both over priced. So I buy my bag ( after they look through every pouch to see if I had stolen anything ) and I run out of that place as fast as I can.

It is almost unbearable to go there , and the indoor range is very poorly ventilated.

For the love of god someone needs to open up a shop to compete with them , R GUNS is great but very small and frankly they are only really a importer so can't really blame them.
R Guns has the best price on Mosins and Magpul gear ANYWHERE! I told my buddy that works there next shipment they get of Mosin's to place a few hexed receivers off to the side for me. Might as well buy them up, since in the near future they may go up in price like the SKS did.

Update on this matter:

After almost a month GAT's finally got the sight back from Sightmark.

No work done on it. None. They shipped it back broken. They didn't even bother looking at it and simply did a return. Right now GATs is calling them about it to figure out what the deal is. GAT's would have swapped the sight with one of their but they ran out, after I suggested they do this in the first place so I can stop coming back there and not have to deal with this anymore, but no, Greg had to screw me over on that one. I was so fuming pissed when I left that the employee's started feeling bad that Greg screwed me over about this.

Oh, and if you need any gun smith work done, the head gunsmith quit for medical reasons. So if it's pretty in depth besides cleaning and sight work done, need to go somewhere else.
