I was hoping it was the line to piss on Andy's casket.

Somewhere there's liberals saying "Yeah, while the rest of us are at work..."

Lines were long and didnt move. Sounds like they brought in a "liquidation company" who pulled the good shit off the shelves and loaded the place up with 2nd rate range bags, etc.

I think there phone is off the hook. All day the line has been busy. Trying to find out when my pistol stands on repairs.
It was insanely busy, I bet the phones won’t be answered until it dies down a bit. Every worker was busy the whole time I was there, 3 hours, after an overnight shift. Not fun. Josh who works there helped me out great guy.

Not what I saw at 1600 today. Same inventory as they always had. Go figure.

Went to the Gun Center today. It was busy but not overly busy. Same inventory as before. Prices were discounted some, but not much. I purchased a used Kimber Micro 9 that I have been looking at. Got it for $479 with 3 mags. Ammo prices were not discounted much. From what I heard there is an interested party looking to purchase the place. They still plan to be open for a couple of months.
It is not up for sale. At least not as of yet. The family made their money; building will remain empty for a long time.

Went there today. They advertised 50% off of all reloading accessories. Some items were 50% off but a whole bunch more was not. Also noticed the price of firearms have really not gone down much at all. Priced a Mossberg Shockwave in 29 ga. and it was $369.99. Same as it was before they announced the closing. Same shotgun at Johnson’s for $375. and less tax. I also noticed that they are putting a new roof on the right half of the building.

I might swing by. Gander outdoors shutdown the Tonawanda location and moved to Hamburg. Got some great deals there. Spent way too much money lately. About $2,000. Discounted sale prices and 15% off guns and ammo. The rest of the store was 40% off.
Got a Benelli semi auto shotgun for $690 and a browning buckmark for $190. Rise armamanet 140 for $60, aero LPK for $36, BCG for $55, then a ton of discounted fishing shot for me and the boy.

When did that happen? And where in Hamburg?

If I'm correct, I thought I heard rumor of at the same location as the RV / Camper place on Camp just north of the 90.

By chance, happened to be in Wonatanda this morning and swung by Gander. 40% off most of the store. Figured there wasnt going to be much.....I was wrong.
My buddy wanted a new bow but didnt want to break the bank. Couple used ones didnt work out. I ended up grabbing him the exact same bow I just bought a month ago for 40% off $400. FUUUUUUUUCK! Grabbed a new pair of boots, a new release, some archery equipment and a backpack. Could've spent more I'm sure. Line was stuuuuuuuupid long, and slow.

That makes sense. That's camping world. Five minutes from home. That could mean trouble, lol
Also good news for me. This would now be my new closest gun store.....

Good place for me to burn time while my son is at karate for an hour and a half.
Good opportunity for them to fill the ammo sales void left by Walmart.

Are they booting the RV sales or sharing?
The back half of building is camping, fishing, Archery and gun stuff.

Just like women. All the fun stuff is in the rear.
Buffalo Gun Center is gone. An empty building when I drove by yesterday.
They moved out of downtown Buffalo in the 1970's.
The Harlem Road store was open for nearly half a century. There were some great deals this last few months.
They had a good run. Best wishes to them, and thanks.

I was scavenging the last of the .45acp about two weeks ago.
Some good people there over the years, some real douche bag sales people as well. Hopefully they burned the powder book and the 4473's.
