A gentleman at the Akron Summit Fairgrounds gun show blew me off very rudely when I tried to purchase a Spikes Tactical lower parts kit. Had the kit and cash in hand ready to make the purchase. He asked me where I had purchased the lower I had. I told him another booth and he very rudely and openly refused the sale.
I won't be buying anything from them. |

Quoted:
I would have maybe considered one of their lowers if they weren't all pre-engraved with marine logos or zombie stuff or whatever. The name escapes me but the had a full booth of ar stuff right ahead when you go down the entrance steps. Yep, that's what I thought. Ah well, Plateshooter got a hell of a deal on a Saiga .308 from them some years back. Bet the dealer is still trying to even that one out. |

Let us know who the vendor was and I will avoid them too. I bet I know, but I'll wait for the answer. Ohhh... ohhh..... can I guess too? Quoted:

I have noticed that they are carrying more airsoft quality junk on their tables now. They may still have some decent prices on AR type guns, but I asked Best Firearms to price match them and they did so happily. |

I'd echo B-man's comments about the airsoft stuff. I bought my first AR from them years ago. They have seem have developed a "holier than thou" mentality. That woman was very, very insulting towards their customers. I asked her about a AR part just to see if they had it and she said their customers aren't smart enough to install it so they don't bother. |

The used to carry ArmaLite, Bushmaster, DPMS, Olympic Arms .... but yeah, nowadays it seems like whatever they can slap together at the other end of the table. They used to have a lifetime guarantee on all firearms they sold (new and used). But those days are long gone... |
| I had a very similar experience at the exact same booth you are posting about in regards to buying some magpul gear off of them. Very rude and then actually told me to go the hell away when I said I was comparing different products with another dealer. I took my business to a group of younger guys with good attitudes and good gear. |

I saw the guy buying airsoft stuff to mount on someones AR from the guy two isles over at the Medina show last year. |
