Gunsmith (Dave Klotz) in upstate NY that doesn’t need my business due to his beliefs

Wonderful quote from this FUDD lover

...“I stopped doing handguns because of all the requirements of New York State. They’ll drive you nuts,” he said. “And I don’t do assault weapons. I don’t want anything to do with those guns. I don’t believe that citizens need to have them.”

A person can put a lamborghini body on a volkswagon frame and it doesn't make it a high performance car..just appears to be one....black guns may" appear" to be a military assault weapon....but tha's just it.."appear" and the media feed stupid people the wrong message.

Just throw your gun on the pile and I'll get to it when I can.

Are you sure it didn't have that gouge in the stock when you dropped it off?

Nice collection of FUDD guns there. Probably don't work because they oiled them 15 years ago and haven't cleaned or shot them since. A friend of mine got a free Remington 30-06 semi that way.

" he said. “And I don’t do assault weapons. I don’t want anything to do with those guns. I don’t believe that citizens need to have them.”
Translation: "I don't know anything about them, while I'm not to old to learn, I'm too old to learn, and anyway the constitution is something I do after dinner."

Well it’s a shame he doesn’t want to work on M1 garands, Springfield 1903’s, Swiss K31’s, SMLE’s, Springfield trapdoor’s, Krag’s, or K98k’s since they were all issued military service weapons and thus could be called assault weapons since most of them were used in combat to assault someone

 

[libertysnake]

Fair weather patriot.

I could see him saying he doesn't want the hassle, but still believes people should have them.

It's the not believing citizens should own them that is sad.

Could probably just re-oil the old stuff and it'll be fine. As long as they're oiled and cleaned well before you throw them in the safe, and you're storing them with a goldenrod or something to prevent condensation, they should last a really long time between uses. Even if the oil gets thin, just needs to be taken apart and re-oiled and greased.

Fucking Fudd, hope he goes under soon.

 

[PutnamCharlie]

The guys shop is a complete sh*t show. I wouldn't let him work on any of my stuff anyway.

 

[tony]

I'll bet he didn't vote for Trump...

He's 82. I'm guessing he goes under soon.

 

[GOPerfect]

Sounds like a few members on this gun forum.

Glad he was at least man enough to speak the truth about the way he feels.

I do not agree with him, but, he said what he thinks. More should be willing to do that.

At his age, I am sure he does not care if he loses some business.

I know who Dave is and ironically enough he has worked on a few of those very guns. At one time many years ago he was the only authorized Remington repair smith in the Syracuse area. I brought one of my Remington shotguns to him once, what a hack. He is the reason that I learned how to do my own gun smithing many years ago.

He'd give Beto a run for his money if Biden was deciding between the two of them for gun czar.

 

[Darth]

His tip is to not leave them in the case because it traps moisture.

Safer to throw them on top of each other in your pack rat shit hole of a "shop."

Da Mar Gunsmiths, for the Google Crawlers.

I could NEVER work out of a mess like that. What a shit show.

 

[kev74]

I can't stop looking at all the shit on that work bench.

 

[Saltwater60]

Considering he said most of his customers need their guns cleaned he’s an asshole and his customers are assholes too.

 

[Podmonkey]

Fuck 'im.

 

[BDinPutnam]

Sounds like a real peach of a douche.

 

[CaseHardened]

82 ?

I wish him well, but at some point he will pass (we all do), then good luck at retrieving your consigned firearm.

 

[TheMoneyPit]

He’s entitled to his opinion, he sure as hell wouldn’t get a penny from me.

 

[CaseHardened]

I really like that VISE, tho.

 

[vago]

Why dont remove his post and is over

 

[kev74]

I really like that VISE, tho.

He's even got shit piled on the vise!

Screw that guy! Definitely a fudd if I’ve ever seen one. I have no problem building those dAnG-fAnGleD assault weapons for “civilians”!
