I really WANT to like ZX in Fort Wayne. At the shows they have great prices and astonishing selection. The Goshen store is pretty good too. I have had no luck with the FW store, including today.
I took $1600 out of savings bound and determined to buy myself a piston AR or a 308 AR. I walked in and an older gentleman asked me if he could help me. I asked him if they had any piston AR's in stock. He stared at me blankly so I said it again. he said he was sorry but he had no idea what that is and he turned to a manager. The manager said, "The only piston AR's we have are 308's". I got a thrill up my spine! OOoOOOOOH! The two things I wanted in one gun! I said, "I did not know there was such a thing yet." to which the manager said, "Well now you have". I tried to take that as a joke and move on so I asked how much they are and he turned, looked at the tag and said $1845 then he unceremoniously turned away. It's hard to describe but his actions made it clear that he was not about to take that gun off the wall.
I walked around the store thinking, well, I have the $1600 in cash and I could put the other $3-400 on a card no problem. However, as I wandered around the store I realized I have been in this store at least 8 times and NEVER had a positive experience. I even wrote to the manager to tell him about one time. Getting the cold shoulder AGAIN tells me I am done trying to go there anymore.
I just came home and placed my order for a piston upper from Adams Arms and I will build the lower from stuff I can buy locally, anywhere but ZX Gun.
