Imagine a new shooter, first gun, asks for help at the store where he bought it and gets told to look it up on YouTube. Are you sure that's what you want?
In a polite, informative way, yes.
Because it's a slippery slope. "Hey, last week you guys adjusted my trigger, but there's too much creep. Can you reduce the creep?" "Hey, last week you fixed the creep, but now there's too much overtravel, can you fix that?" "Last week you fixed the overtravel, but it feels too heavy, can you lighten it?" "Hey, I think you lightened it too much, because I leaned it on a shooting bench, then it fell and went off".
Either he should own a set of allen wrenches, or he should not. If he should, then adjusting the trigger on a CZ 457 after watching this is dirt simple. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiUVoqf5AiY
If he cannot fathom adjusting a trigger after watching that, then he should just shoot factory settings and be happy.
Virtually all of the things we own can be user-tweaked and adjusted for better performance--but the know-how and the liability needs to stay with the consumer or a professional "tweaker" (in this case, a gunsmith).
Ok, You've sold me. Big box stores or mail order from the bulk dealers from now on. I won't feel bad about not supporting local small business anymore. Thanks.
Sorry you feel that way. We used to do light gunsmithing but even at that level of support we found we were not able keep everyone happy and ended up with more problems for the effort we made. We stand by not adjusting triggers as even though we may know the process, we are not comfortable on doing this with customers guns do to the liability and safety concerns. Generally we are able to tighten some action and receivers screws but for what ever reason we were not able to help you. We go to great lengths to properly mount scopes and can solve most mounting applications. We feel we have good customer service and if something else is required please talk to me or leave me a pm if you do not feel we have treated you properly. To all other members who have left a comment thanks for the support. There was a rumor going around a few months ago that we are either closing the doors or selling out and I found that funny as currently we are having some of our best daily sales. We are staying here and continuing our business and along with our new web site (soon) are planning on hanging around. Phil.

Pretty Ladies, and a staff that knows guns. Hearsay has it that the Reps even like the place.
Diane. You and the "old man" are excellent business folks.
Lived in the 'Chuk for 20+ years, a hunting enthusiast ++. Purchased ammo and slings and rifles and scopes with mounting services and service was exceptional. Then I moved north...
That said: Phil you really are loosing some business not being online. I think the sooner the better for you - to get your online presence going...
Make certain that you Enjoy life! You are never going to be younger than you are today.
