The Gun Room

**NoOne** · 07-17-2009, 07:18 AM

I called about some powder yesterday (16 July) and was told they don't quote prices over the phone. Then he launched into a speech about customer service, and higher quality products (powder?).

So I went in and bought a pound of Winchester 748 ball powder... for $33.85!

I know he is price gouging...I needed about 3 pounds, but only bought one..just enough to load up a few rounds. At that price I can see why he is the only shop in the area that still has powder for sale.

At least they are consistent.

I have a few stories about this abomination of a gun shop, but recounting them sends my blood-pressure soaring.

the last time i went in there, just because i had some time to kill before a business meeting, i noticed they had a whole shelf full of 6920s. i was kind of surprised they actually carried something with any degree of quality.. but since they're all about Colt in general i suppose that makes sense.

anyway.. the $2,300 price tag on each of those 6920s readily explained why they had a whole shelf full.

i @#$%ing HATE that place.

They tend to charge full retail, plus whatever they feel like adding on.

It would be interesting to see old Warren join NWFA & post on here.

it would be good for both those @#$%^$%$#@#$%^^#@@$@# to read this thread. every gun shop has a few haters, even if they're really good... but half the country hates the GUN ROOM. they could probably triple their sales over the next decade (takes time to recover from their piss poor reputation) if they'd just adopt a customer-service attitude.

I'd be surprised if he lasted 24 hours before he was banned for verbal abuse. If not his, the abuse he'd attract!

When I lived in Protland, I went to the Gun Room a couple of times. That cured me forever! I never spent a dime there! I haven't been back and I will never go back! A pox on them!

What's even better is to compare one of his "approved" guns to a competitors and he will tell you his is better!

They are better. He selects the steel they are forged from and then hand inspects them at the factory before delivery. The major manufacturers produce special weapons just for him ya' know.

True that! I've had a couple run in's with him, both times ending in him "urgently' asking me to leave and both times I suggested he make sweet love to himself!

I'm sorry but I disagree. They ONLY cater to naive dumbasses!

Been there once years ago, never been back.
Just a$$ clowns there!!

**Partsproduction** · 10-21-2009, 08:07 PM

I went there once, I kept wondering if it was something about me! Glad to know it's universal.

**RobertJ.** · 10-21-2009, 08:16 PM

I dropped in one afternoon, I was looking at S&W N-Frames. They seemed friendly and knowledgable, but their prices were outrageous. You'd have thought the revolvers were made of gold!

**RobertJ.** · 10-21-2009, 08:39 PM

Follow up to my previous post: I forgot to mention I picked up a beautiful 629 at Gun Broker on 82nd!

**ZachS** · 10-21-2009, 09:08 PM

I had a similar experience the first time I went in there a couple of years ago... I lived nearby at the time, and I chalked it up to being a young guy who looks like he lives in SE Portland... Glad to know it wasn't personal.

What a bunch of !@#$ tools.
