....George at Gulf Coast guns amazed me this week. I bought a 16ga L C Smith field grade EJECTOR from him a few weeks back, as I was on my fullblown addiction bender....  . When I got it, I noticed a crack above the left lock plate. The guy that bought my shop (Charlie) took it apart, and that crack went through the whole head. I rang George, and he told me to send him the gun to fix. I said, no thanks, I would like to get it fixed by somebody I know and trust, no offense. Apparently, that didn't tick him off too bad, because last week, I got a check in the mail from him for $100. George even went so far as to recommend carburator cleaner as the best stuff to use to get the oil out, which I had not heard of. Charlie charged me $85 to soak the oil out (and the carburator cleaner really worked well, by the way), and repair the crack. I will return $15 to George.
This sort of thing simply needs to be shared, as it is RARE. George is a great guy, very very fair, and I would not hesitate to highly recommend him as an honest dealer. Txshootist has also bought 2 guns from him, and was also quite pleased with them, but I should let him say that, I suppose, at least that is what I gathered from him. Anyhow, George has good stuff, his prices are really really fair, and he stands behind his inventory....

| With Greedy Mountain,etc pushing the smaller guys out it is still nice to deal with a person who is on our level and not just trying to sell a gun for the commision and 8 bucks an hr.Support your local gunshop |

| Duncan: this might be a good time to glass bed the head of the stock and around the lockplates. Bob Fulton and Dennis Smith are both in your neighborhood (sorta) and still 7 mths until bird season |
