Picked it up a few weeks ago from Williams in Davison, MI. I love the 1911 styling and wood grips.. Got a great deal on it for $629.. A buddy of mine went to bass pro and bought the same gun for 770. Lol, so stay away from there for guns. This was my first ever gun purchase. I filled out the background check paper work and they called it in to the "FBI" and I was cleared to buy it right away. :thumb: :rock:

I forgot he bought it as Williams. I was going to say, he doesn't have his CPL so he would have needed a PP to buy it, but that would have been the case if it bought it from a private seller.
I've ignored SS. Just to much of a pot stirrer and I get worked up to damn easy. If that's the kind of guy he is let him do as he pleases. Kind of pathetic though.
As for the post above... I replied concerning it in the "official" thread in the recycle bin. I'm not as big of an asshole or as dumb as you think I am. :thumb:
How old are you, just wondering on age for your first purchase. I bought my first gun with help from my dad at 13, bought my muzzle loader at 17, been buying one a year, or so since.
I can not remember how old I was when I picked up my first pistol a S&W model 629 power ported 44 mag,
We are trying to do this more and more. Local hardware versus HD or Lowes. Local restaurant versus a chain restaurant. Most of the time I am product shopping, not price shopping.
On the other hand, I took it in the a$$ a couple weeks ago. I used Accurate Firearms as an FFL and they charged me $75. Lots of places charge under $50.
BTW, I do not hate our country. I love our country, I just hate the way it's trending. :thumb:
Did everyone turn into liberals overnight? Just curious, considering you all usually say that if a man can be successful and build his company from the ground up, he earned his right to what he has. Well, Bass Pro started in a liquor store in 1971 and turned into a mail order company, and over the years has been built to what it is now.
None of you would expand a company to serve as many people as possible if you're doing well enough to do so? lol
I have no shame working for a company that was home grown just like any of the small stores now, who did things right and was able to build 70+ stores and employ about 15,000 Americans. Not only that, but very very few employees are started at or make minimum wage. They constantly put people to full time work and offer health benefits and even retirement plans if you think you'll work there that long.
I like Bass Pro for their great selection of fishing ammo and their cool and huge fish tank.
One day soon I will get my first pew pew and my dad just asked me if I had any interest in his shotgun as he was thinking about selling it to a guy he knows from church.
I think I am interested in it as he has had it for about 30 years. I am going to get the info on it and ask your opinion about it as I know little about guns but have started reading recently.
the Stevens 67 was a utility shotgun when they originally were sold.
They were discontinued in 1989.
If the gun is in excellent condition, and is a later model with choke tubes and a vent rib - it would be valued at $200.00 to $250.00 If it is one of the older guns with a fixed choke and no vent rib it's value would be $100 less.
If they are hand me downs, meaning free then sure take them. If you want them because they were your fathers, then again sure take them. However if they have no meaning to you, then there are better options out there.
I like bass pro for the selection & I agree it's the American dream success story. However, if they now raise their prices "because they can", I don't appreciate it and would rather spend my money at the little guy's store if he can be competitive.
