is anyone running a 9-5 shop at the mill yet?I'm surprised The Mill hasn't put 4$easons out of business.
Was there around 1:30 today walked right in said Hi to those I knew, walked around with just my chubby cheeks and a smile on my face . No lines, maybe 20 people inside, was a quiet Thursday afternoon.

I've been there IIRC 3 times now and most(from my experiences) can't seem to be open for the hours listed on their doors.is anyone running a 9-5 shop at the mill yet?
So, are you going to the mill again?I've been there IIRC 3 times now and most(from my experiences) can't seem to be open for the hours listed on their doors.
Some dealers say they don't care because they don't need my money, which is fine because they've got plenty of loopers that'll happily swallow the gravy for them(like they did for FS). Once more dealers, like some already on the south shore/coast and cape, stop shitting their pants and start framing out items buyers will go to them due to convenience.
I applaud them for what they did for the community(I really do) and I realize it's mainly a side gig for those there but, if you can't be bothered to be open for the hours listed expect to lose sales from those that would make the drive. Especially since the "Mill" idea has caught on with a few mini mills opening up. Christ, look at the folks that drove to FS from the SS/Cape/SC just to save $20 on something for years and thought it was the best thing ever.
Will I ever go again? Possibly. There are a few dealers there that I like and it would be worth the trip to support them if I couldn't get an item locally. Would I drive there to save $200 instead of buying local? Nope, the drive isn't worth the hassle.
The gravy swallowers will say "you're only buying a POS $500 gun anyway so f*** you poor" to defend those that don't want my money. To them, my answer is nope. The last pistol I bough was just shy of $1800 out the door. My current wish list includes plenty of items within the $1500-$2000 range and if they don't want my money, I'm okay with that because my local FFLs will happily take it from me.

If I couldn't get it locally and I could get it from the few I like, as stated in my original post, yes.I've been there IIRC 3 times now and most(from my experiences) can't seem to be open for the hours listed on their doors.

There is still time though !
Seriously. But then again as drgrant says, there’s still plenty of pant shitter afraid of own shadow gun owners left….I'm surprised The Mill hasn't put 4$easons out of business.

I don’t get the hate for Four Seasons.f*** 4seasons
Yup. I witness this all the time. I’ve told so many guys at my local club about the mill and they’re all like “that’s a decent drive”.DTE sells pant shitter trash (on average) cheaper than the mill does. Nobody at the mill wants to degrade themselves that far to win a few skinflint customer. . Plus there are tons of townies who would literally look at you sideways if you told them to drive out to 495 to go to a gun shop.... I s*** you not.
"All the way? Out / there?/ zomg! "
Ive never seen the level of distance faggotry in my life as in mass. Even Californians aren't that retarded. Mass townies would basically end up hanging themselves if they had to live in a square state in a rural area... for anything more than a couple of days or so they would literally stroke out when they found out you would had to drive 20 minutes to get to a grocery store....
Carl called me to yell and swear at me once because he didn't like an email I sent him. He's a pathetic little bitch. It could have been handled professionally but he handled it like a 4 year old having a tantrum.I don’t get the hate for Four Seasons.
There’re not for everyone, but I can’t remember anyone ever claiming they’re dishonest or deceptive or sell defective products or anything like that.
If you don’t like their style, don’t go there.
Old thickly settled colonial era state with shitty traffic, drivers, and potholes will develop such a mentality.Ive never seen the level of distance faggotry in my life as in mass.

Dillion press, CNC micro mill, lathe, and 3D printer go brrrrrrrrrrNobody shops there anymore - they are too crowded!

Well, you are a dickhead. So, he had a reason I supposeCarl called me to yell and swear at me once because he didn't like an email I sent him. He's a pathetic little bitch. It could have been handled professionally but he handled it like a 4 year old having a tantrum.
Can always go to Northeast Traders
I was being a dick no doubt but his response was like going nuclear after someone hit you with a sling shot.Well, you are a dickhead. So, he had a reason I suppose
That being said, I agree, f*** FS (DTE)
Ya mean Noath Shoah Fiahahms kehd. Get ratted to the feds bruh.

He could have just responded with like "I disagree and didn't appreciate your tone so whatever" but instead he literally matched my email to store records, got my phone #, called me and just started yelling at me. I was like dude you're f***ing unhinged f*** off don't call me again. Then he's like you're banned for life from my store and I laughed hysterically.
Truth.
Most folks I know have never lived more than a half an hour or so from where they grew up. Everything inside the loop is so densely packed folks hardly have to spend anytime driving to get where their going(aside from work). I've got to have at least 15 supermarkets within a 20 minute drive, it's stupid. We're spoiled.
As for me wrt the mill since I brought it up, leaving where I live to get there right now at 1:15 a.m.(according to the Googles) it would take me 1h 13min. That's going up 3(getting on in Hanover) to 128/95 to 2 to 495, it's a shit drive now but really a shit drive when traffic is factored in for me to get there when some of the shops open.
Honestly, I'd rather a few of you gents just floss my ass crack with a two man cross cut saw than sit in that traffic.

Full disclosure: I have lived in a square(okay, rectangle) state and unless folks wanted to pay the rape prices in a small dead end valley town, it took 1hr to get to the closest Walmart to stock up on daily necessities. We pretty much went once a month and kind of made a day trip of it in that town. Closest real city was 3+hours away if the weather cooperated or the roads weren't closed.

“Your used Glock 22 prices are pure Cosby level. I didn’t get my puddin’ pops with the gun. I only got one neutered mag”Wow.. what did you say to him in the email?
