i'm 3/4 of a mile from the place. don't plan on going near the place, don't see why this tax free event would be any different than years past.

I bought a new gun on Wednesday from Shooting Supply in Westport. They were great by the way and are running a 10% sale on everything. The clerk offered to hold the gun and I could come back and pick it up this weekend.
I elected to leave with the gun. It's a half hour drive each way, and I figure the place will be a mad house today. I am sure you will have to wait forever to get on one of their two computers to do the paperwork, and also figured there is a 50/50 chance the state's system will crash. Best $28 bucks I ever spent, and less than that when you figure it's probably $5 for the gas to drive there.
This was my first purchase from Shooting Supply and I will definitely be back. There prices are good, service was excellent. New 365 is $450 on sale. Spare mags were $42.50.
I bought the gun and two spare mags, as well as a kydex holster to use until the one I ordered comes in, and was in and out in about 30 minutes.

You better double check that before heading south. They told me $499 on the phone. They said all their advertised prices already include the supposed 10% discount.

Carl really should open on Sunday on TF weekend. 
NES did that once and it was a large turn-out.

On an $800 transaction, it’s about $50. Would you hit yourself in the thumb with a hammer for $50? Why would you do this.
But good for Carl.

For the record, I called Four Seasons today and placed an order. They were crazy busy. Had an issue with my credit card not going thru due to fraud protection. They were very professional and worked with me throughout the sale. I normally don't shop much on that side of route 128, but these guys do a great job.

I went back and checked my receipt. You are correct. The $499 was the sale price,and showed as a 10% discount There was no discount on any of the other accessories ( mags, ammo, kydex holster).
I think their prices on guns were basically the same as FS for everything I looked at. The prices for ammo and accessories seemed a little better, and they had a decent selection. There was definitely no BS. Very straight forward and easy to deal with. I buy my ammo from Target Sports but their prices were comparable.
Still a great shop for those on the south shore/ south coast

I bought a high priced used firearm at Four Seasons last Saturday, elected to do the sale yesterday to save tax plus Carl was giving an additional 5% discount on used firearms. So it saved me $281.25. I pulled in at 7:45 about 15 people in line. Store opened at 8, and I had done all the paper work online the night before. I was out of there about 8:45, so just like a typical there. No one was in line in the hall when I left.

Was there about 11am, got a number only about 3 people ahead of me. Transaction was quick and it wasn't crazy busy. They said there was a rush when they opened, but that was it. Also got my raffle tickets and Holly Tshirt.
Picked up an M&P 15-22, should be fun to shoot.

I’ve purchased more guns a 4S than anywhere else but I don’t like crowds or excessive BO so I rarely go there now.
