    All the people complaining should've bought before the freeze was announced. I can't feel bad about a bunch of grown men crying about how someone chooses to run their own business. It's the whining and fighting amongst each other that's getting old.

Now at the end of it all CRAFM and a couple of other vendors still have their inventory of desirable but overpriced guns for last minute purchases, because everyone else could also find what they wanted elsewhere for less. That's their prerogative to do business however they want, but I will vote with my wallet. I still have money to spend. Who wants it? Just make me feel like I'm not getting ripped off, and we can do business. There's always ammo and optics to purchase instead if the prices don't come down.
    You are way wrong. CRAFM sold all their inventory within a week time. You make yourself stories and believe it.
    The few gun they get are new trickled from distributor. Guns ordered a year ago showed up. They don’t order once a year, but all year around. So deliveries are staggered every weeks almost. They even received a Colt ordered two years ago last week. They purchase goods by the pallets and bullets by crate and all sell fast.

    It’s clear you absolutly do not know what you are talking about.

    I doupt very much they need your money by the way. It’s one of the biggest dealer and shooting club in the country.

    OK, maybe I'm wrong. If that's the case, then I stand corrected; not going to argue with those who know more than I do about the market. I get the erratic nature of importation and supply constraints. But I also observe things like another vendor that as of this writing still has 4 unblemished SS MR920's left at $1.5K, while CRAFM has them listed for $1.7k. I'm glad to hear they price match. That might help some others out.

    Did it ever occur to you that perhaps the people you claim are "complaining" do not need any additional handguns and have bought everything they needed before a freeze was even announced? Now, pointing out shady business practices to new members and people not in the know is actually doing the community a service. Ripping off customers is doing the opposite. Good day smartie pants.

    Another retailer trying to profit on the panic. So we get screwed by government, screwed by private sellers gouging, and screwed by certain retailers preying on the panic. So much for solidarity and compassion for each other within the firearms community.
    Pretty disgusting really.

    To all the individuals complaining about how we (CRAFM) run our business, we invite you to make us an offer and you can run as you please

    I also offer these individuals to submit their CV's as we are looking for staff and can get an inside look at how things are run

    Many dealers like ourselves, had to pay a premium to get certain makes & models of firearms

    Dealers purchase firearms from mainly distributors, who have also increased the prices, due to flying firearms in at the last minute, paying higher exchange rates, pay more for staff, etc, so those increase were passed on to us and unfortunately to our retail clients.

    If a dealer has stock from 3 months ago vs a dealer getting stock 3 weeks ago for the exact same firearm, there will be a substantial difference

    Thank you to those, who have stood up for us at CRAFM and understanding our situation and to those who have bashed us, we invite you to come visit us and submit your CV's


    Our present government has definitely loves these bashers, in order to divide our great community

    No. I am a regular customer. I know this place since they first opened their doors…they are great people who do their best to bring in what shooters need. Staff are mostly shooters too.

    These businesses can sell for whatever they wish to, they pay to be on CGN and they're going to be losing a decent portion of income because of the government real soon.
    If you don't like the price move on, as per CGN rules.
