I swear I do not live at FDF but I keep going back and spending money on new parts that I need.... Had to put in a small order for parts for my AR build....
Dennis has a new set of stripped lowers, assembled lowers, butt stocks, CCMG .22lr conversion kits, pre-ban English AR mags, etc.
As usual excellent service and help finding what I need....

Shane, Must have just missed ya if you were there tonight. I stopped in to grab some odds and ends. Ended up grabbing one of those pre-ban AR mags too. black steel. good quality.
Can't get over how great this shop is. Top notch customer service and knowledgeable as heck. I don't feel like an idiot if I go in there with a newbie question.

what kind or lpk's? any stocks?
Recently I posted a note in the member's forum about my mother passing away. I had been to FD once (bought a beautiful Sig from them). Dennis not only recognized my forum name but associated it with the note about my mother and sent me a very nice note back.
THAT is customer service that cares. I'm completely blown away by this, this is the kind of stuff you read about happening 50 years ago with the neighborhood grocer or something.
You HAVE to go to this store. I'll be back there next week sometime to buy a 5.11 coat I've had my eye on and some magazines.

I think the LPKs are from CMMG....
He has lots of stocks - fixed and collapsible....
He also has a wall/display full of other parts, kits and accessories for the AR and 1911....
He mentioned that he also ordered a large quantity of the pre-ban ENGLAND AR mags (Think they were 30 rounders)
Sold out of the lowers but Shelley said that they have more on order - have no idea what brands - Usually they gets in stripped and complete lowers.
I know that a lot of us visit the store and the service is great but sometimes it is just crazy busy in there... I have talked to Dennis and Shelley and they really feel bad when it longer to complete a transaction, never mind the 1 hour you spent just looking at all of the stuff they have![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

Yes you do, I've seen you the past two times I've been!![[laugh]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/012.gif "Laugh [laugh]")
OK, You two! Just stay out of my room and if you do come in remember the top bunk is MINE!!!
Was there last night. Bought a pair of M1911 recoil springs. Excellent selection of M1911 parts from Wilson etc. Service perfect as usual. Great people to deal with.
Honestly the best gun shop experience I've ever had! Both Dennis and his wife truly understand the idea that being courteous and pleasant will only be beneficial for business. I will drive out of my way to support them from now on. I fully recommend First Defense.
Just got off the phone with Shelly (Dennis' wife) and ordered a LPK (DPMS) from her. Outstanding service, pleasant demeanor, and willing to go above and beyond for the customer. Thanks Shelly!
Paid a visit to First Defense yesterday. They've got pre-ban AR 30 rounders (British steel finished in black/black follower) never been used still in the wrapper/cosmo for $30. Verrrrrry nice. Also restocked their AR parts section (mostly Panter Arms parts with some other including Magpul) and looks like they've restocked their pistol mags too. Saw a very nice MA legal M4 Bushy in the consignment secion. There were a few interested parties so I don't know if it's still there nor do I know what the price was. Target crown, pinned stock verticle foregrip.

I'm a big fan of the CAA stand too. Tons of accessories!
Store update and range report on .22lr CMMG AR15 conversion kit....
Visited the shop AGAIN and took note of some of the items:
- bunch of Saiga 12 there
- stripped lowers and complete lowers (minus buttstocks that he also has...)
- LPK from Rock River, DPMS, and CMMG
- CMMG .22lr conversion kits for AR15
- etc.
Also got the first email "special list" from Dennis and I had to tell him he has to list more stuff that he has
Dennis was also wanted feedback on the .22lr CMMG conversion kit.
- $205 + tax (Please check with Dennis to verify price) for conversion bolt and 1 10-round mag
- I only used high velocity jackets ammo
* CCI mini-mags
* Walmart high velocity (cannot remember if federal)
* Dick's high velocity value pack
- There was no issue in firing, ejecting, and FTF even at rapid fire
- I'm new to the AR group but with my 5.56 16 inch upper, the shots where in the black from 25 years to 100 yards (OK course with adjusting elevation for distance)
- Overall no issues with the kit and very happy with performance and reliability....

I had the opportunity to swing by First Defense last night. What a great,albeit small, place!!!
I picked up an AR spring kit,several AR mags and a few other odds and ends. Wasn't much of a chance to introduce myself but the two people working,(I'm assuming Dennis and Shelly), did a great job to keep things moving. Well worth the drive.

Paul
