I have a shotgun that needed repair, so i looked through the local gunsmiths and decided to give B&S guns a shot. The problem is with me magazine tube and the follower. The shotgun i own was designed to hold 7 shells in the tube, but the follower keeps jamming when i load the 7th shell every time. The follower also has the tendency to jam in the outmost position when there are no shells loaded at all.....to the point where fingers and many other things are unable to loosen it up. Took the gun there and picked it up soon after. When i got the gun home and loaded it.......nothing was different. I took the gun back up there and dropped it off again with a more detailed explaination of the problem. After recieving another call that it was fixed i picked it up again...got home and once again...nothing was different. I took it back and finally talked to the gunsmith in person. He explained that he loaded 6 shells into it and it performed with no problem. Once i told him that it holds 7 shells he replied that it does not hold 7. I know a fare share about fire arms, especially enough to know my own gun which was the second exact model i have owned. After explaining this i was told something along the lines of ""well you should only load 6 into it now"". I know what im talking about, but i wasnt treated that way at all. JUST LOAD 6 SHELLS INTO IT BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM THAT I HAD ALREADY PAID TO BE FIXED!?!?!?! That defeats the purpouse of why i was there to begin with. He also showed me how to un-jam the follower using a piece of metal, but when he did this it jammed the follower in the outmost position. He disappeared with the gun for about 10 minutes and brought it back to me and handed it to me. So appearently i asked them to fix a gun with obviouse problems several times, which was never done and i was still charged for it from the first pick up. What a waste of time, money, and gas. I learned absolutely nothing because any problems and diagnoses that were stated by the buisness are things i already knew of. I wanted to repair done, and i payed for it, but in return i got my firearm back in the same condition that it was when i first walked it in the door. Going there 3 times for one gun is lame enough, but getting it back with nothing fixed and my pockets and tank a little more empty was the straw that broke the cammels back. I never write online reviews, but i made an acception for this place. I dont know if they are used to customers who know little to nothing about guns, but they sure acted that way to me, and i took notice from the begining. It matches well...B&S will BS you.
