ARMCO - again ...

What drives me crazy is the stuff without a price. I wonder if he waits for questions about price and then posts. Any time I asked I never heard back but later saw a price that was stupid high. Stung several times before I gave up.
 
There have been so many negative posts about this guy for so long that anybody that deals with him for any reason get what they deserve, just that plain and simple.

This is indeed unfortunate, but he found the time to cash the checks immediately. Interesting.
 
I have bought a CZ85 Combat from Gunnar back in 2009 ish... without any issues. I purchased a S&W revolver, having paid in full on 2013JAN24 and have not received any emails. I have sent 6 different emails - all polite... no response. I called twice, once during what I thought would be business hours in BC during a week day and another time in the evening. The second time, an older lady answered the phone and said Gunnar wasn't taking any phone calls.

I shall keep trying..... Very frustrating. I'm usually not one to vent online as I hate most of the b(tching threads... but having exercised all available methods to me (apart from flying to BC and attending his business), I do not know how else to contact him. I do understand that he has/had an illness and is older... but the money (EMT) was accepted. Even a note saying "sorry, it'll be a few months before I can get to your purchase" and I wouldn't have a problem. I'm 'young' by some guys standards, however I'm not a member of the 'want it yesterday' generation so I don't mind if there's some wait time - just a little communication would help.

I just traded a BHP in to him. I told him it had fired 1500 rounds or more, I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with it, I had made 3 scratches on the gun when I did my version of gun smith work on it, I bought it in 2010 new. I traded it off cheap as I did not want to sell it to an unsuspecting soul on here. So here is a cut and past off his web site 5 minutes ago:
"Last year's Browning Hi-Power in 9mm - still looks new - less than 500 rounds - $749 - Trades? On hold - Shawn "

Wow, not surprised but wow.
Gunnar is so good that even used guns he touches are magically improved and somehow better for the experience!
Next time sell it on the EE for a good price and describe the issues.
 
I've made 4 or 5 deals with gunnar, all were successful and pleasant. Slow, but I wasn't in a rush. Infact, one pistol I purchased, he transferred and shipped before my money order got to him.

Now, on the other hand, I have a good friend who bought a brand new STI from him, and it had been clearly used more than just the factory test fire. But he said no way brand new, it definitely wasn't, that has put me off of him.

Do you have any alternate contacts for him or his business? I would like to have a quick word with them.

I'm in nearly the same boat. The lack of communication from him or someone on his behalf is absolutely unacceptable. A simple, "hey, I'm running behind due to X, Y or Z" would be sufficient but to hear nothing but crickets...

Does anyone know of any alternate way to contact him other than the email/number listed on his site? This is getting ridiculous!

Well maybe he should communicate that with his customers, return the outstanding work and close shop! I dealt with him ONCE.. never again.
