Rifle I wanted is on Sale for $229.99, only available in stores, web site said none in GSO, one in W-S, one in Burlington.
I stopped at GSO store and asked if they would transfer one from another store. They said they would, but not now because they are doing inventory and won't do transfers until that's done.
I drove to W-S store. They said they didn't have it. I said, the web site says you have it. He looked, computer says it is in stock. They look in the back and find it. The scope is missing. I said, I'll take it. They said they would not sell it without the scope. I asked for a manager. She said the scope has been ordered. I said, I'll buy the rifle now, you send me the scope when it comes in. She refused to sell the rifle until the scope arrives.
I called Burlington and asked the firearms manager if he would transfer the rifle he has to GSO. He said transfers must be initiated by the receiving store. I called GSO and talked to the store manager. He said they would be happy to order one for me. I said, just transfer it from another store now. He said he would not do that until after inventory is completed. I asked when that would be. He said October 4. I said there may not be any available then! He said he would not sell a rifle until it is in the store. I said, "You are the last person I would ever buy from!"
I called Burlington store and they agreed to hold rifle for me, and give me a box of ammo for my trouble. I drove from W-S to Burlington. Bought rifle via electronic 4473 (takes forever). Young man carried my rifle and escorted me to cash register. I paid, and he carried rifle and escorted me out the front door, where he handed me the rifle and said, "Thank you!".
I drove home, bought gas.
While I was in Burlington, I noticed a sign under the rack of AR-15s: "Must be 18 or over to purchase tactical firearms."
