My first experience there was disappointing. I had a meeting in the next town, so I went up early to see the shop for the first time. I planned to leave the shop with an 870, inventory permitting. I browsed for a few minutes before engaging a younger man at the counter. Since none of the 3 men there had asked if I needed help, I asked, politely, who was free for sales. He responded by asking if they were all invisible. The humor was lost on me. I proceeded down the counter to the shotguns and waited a minute or two to see if he might follow up by asking what I needed help with. As my business partner and I were walking out the door, he finally asked if we were all set.

I don't need special treatment from any retailer, but, since gun stores are not self-serve, a little help would be nice.

Determined to buy an 870, I bought one in Woburn after our meeting. While the Woburn shop leaves a lot to be desired, if I am willing to wait, I always get the complete attention of a salesperson.
 
They are terrible. I have written them off my list. Your experience is typical.

Mike I have been in there everyday for the past three weeks looking for 9mm and all they had was blazer brass last week, yes I hord ammo like most so I shop around and I have not seen any Winchester 50 or 100 packs other then in 40cal. But I did get two 100 round boxes of Remington at Walmart in seabrook!
 
I only deal with the new guy when I go there, he doesn't mind shooting the breeze and is very friendly

I saw a post on their home page today that seemed to be addressing this...

I must apologize to my staff for my hasty response to a comment made on a local forum. I posted the following message, below in black. What you read on the forums can be and at most times be misleading. We did not have any Winchester 9mm value packs or 50 round boxes in the store at the time he/she posted said comment, as a matter of fact, we haven't had that in a long time. I can only speculate that the person either dislikes us enough to make false statements, needs an eye exam or needs to grow up.


IMPORTANT NOTICE


A mistake in pricing occurred this week, Winchester 9mm value pack should be $33.95, Winchester 9mm 50 round box should be $18.95 and the price of Winchester 223 is correct. If you are entitle to a refund, please bring in your receipt or the sku off the box. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Kudos to NSF for fixing a mistake, I don't know how I missed either the 100 bulk or 50 Winchester.
 
I don't think you missed it, I think he's saying they haven't had any in ages so the reported price couldn't have been right. But if anyone was overcharged, they'd refund the difference.
 
That was Good of them to word up. I only bought the 223 tax free weekend but i waited outside in line to pick up some 9mm. Thats when i saw the 43.00 price of value pack , with my own 2 eyes.."yes it was on the shelf" so i passed on it. at 33.95 i would have bought a few boxes if there wasnt a limit. But still is a nice place, and i like the amount of rifles.

And who needs to grow up? A little to paranoid if you ask me.....[rolleyes]
 
I picked up my QD .308 lower and upper there a couple of weeks ago. Service was great and the staff was cordial and friendly. I also picked up 5 boxes of .308 147 gr. bt ammo for $17/box, which in at this time is not unreasonable.

I'd shop there again if it was closer to me.

They take feedback from NES pretty seriously even though they don't post here much anymore. I wish they would.

It would be nice to see Mike Sr or Mike Jr come here and remind people to stop bitching about the smallest details possible. Grown men enter a gun store and want the staff to fluff them like its a porn set or some shit. It's a friggen gun store.

I've never seen anything but good service from NSF. I've also seen great service from FS, Collectors and other shops.

Meta-NES these days. Even gun owners are feminized in MA.

FWIW, I had the worst experience once can possibly expect from there... THE WORST. And it was still better than any place else... some fruitcake named Dench sold me a Saiga 7.62

did i? [rofl]
 
I've bought two handguns from NSF...walther PPS and SW bodyguard.

Both perfect transactions. Simple, straightforward, nice guys, quick and easy, fair price.

Yeah, feels like forever ago. Back when they were reasonably priced. Best $400 I ever spent.

"There a trick to breaking this ****er down?"
"Yeah, you got to hit it really hard"

I said that? [rofl]

I'm guessing it was getting the receiver cover back on/off? thats the best bet - slam that mother ****er right on. just line the front up and slam the back [rofl]

i got 2 saigas, one in 5.45 and the other in 7.62x39, they are awesome rifles
