Post by: duckmen1 on January 11, 2016, 08:31:22 PM: I brought a traditions muzzleloader in there once a few years back. The gun would not fire any caps on the first pull of the trigger. You would have to work the action a couple more times and keep pulling the trigger and eventually the cap would fire. He kept my gun for months saying that it was just needing the firing pin replaced. After making a stop in and checking on it he then claimed it was bad caps and firing pin was fine. Even though I bought several brands as well as both musket and # 11 caps. Said he would look into it more after he would not show me the gun actually functioned how he said. Months and months went by and went back in for him to try and tell me that my whole problem was bad powder not the caps. What he was trying to say made no sense since the cap would not go off to ignight the powder. I immediately the gun right there and never got it fixed just got a new gun. That last day he smelled strongly of alcohol and cigarettes. Bad service from my experience.

Well Countyline was sold several months back and I do not know the new owners.

I do know that the previous owner was a good guy with above average firearms knowledge. He didn't seem to be a smoker or a drinker.

I have two glocks I am going to get 3.5 disconnectors put in, The new owner advised me to bring them in at the same time, that way he could charge me one $20 fee for both guns instead of two minimum fees, and he can do it right in front of me at the counter.

And he had told me he didn't deal much with muzzle loaders. Like I said it was well probably 5 years back and never went back. Maybe I'll have to check the place out in the future if it went to new guys.

Buy me a six pack of Elysian Men's Room, and I'll do them on my kitchen table in about ten minutes.
