No, its long gone. I caught it on Tuesday at the end of the day. Called Wednesday to confirm receipt of my FFL. Went round and round with the Gunroom manager all day. Had a call into the store manager but he didn't return my call until Friday. Said he'd ship it if it was still available. I told him it was no doubt long gone by then. I knew it was on Wed because I did just that. Called a friend to buy me it as soon as I had hung up the phone and it was already gone.

Thanks for the offer though!

Just my opinion , but this whole deal seems so wrong , my guess is ,they had such a barrage of calls on it that the sales clerk decided he better run it past the store manager because it was so apparent they screwed up bad on the price ! By the time CJ78 contacted them about his FFL for shipping that was the best excuse they could come up with not to sell it to him ,stashed it away and eventually it will be up for sale again at another one of their stores but not even close to the $750.00 price they had on it ! Again ,just my opinion but I sure haven't ever figured out who or how they derive at their prices ! I'm to the point with them ,it's very seldom I even look at their web site !

The man on the phone told me he saw someone walk out of the store with it. I was hoping it was someone here…..

I'm with Russ on this one despite what the man on the phone told Dylan...

Time will tell. I have the serial number noted. It’s a pretty unique configuration so I’m sure it will pop up somewhere.

They tell me they have a policy in place to prevent "resale". When I called the next day the gunroom manager got on the phone and asked if this was for "resale" or "collection". An 01 FFL is required to be "in the business" so the obvious answer is resale. That's when I was told I can not have it even though I intended to log it out to my personal collection. It's a nonsense policy. Interestingly I called their headquarters and they are not aware of any such corporate policy.

THE WHOLE THING STINKS PRETTY BADLY.

The COVERUP is always worse than the crime!
