Mr D's big gun shop adventure :-)

Post by Darryl »

My son is visiting from Utah, and I decided to take him to Kari's favorite gun shop "Krausewerks" in San Mateo. I went in just to look. I don't have the money for any firearms right now, but that changed pretty fast.

Now I have to say, these are some of the best guy's I have ever found in a gun shop (or any shop for that matter). What a bunch of great guys. I have been there a couple of times before and they were the same way. I asked if I could take a couple of photos of the shop to show you guys on the forums and they said sure...go ahead. I was taking the photos when the owner came out from the back room and asked, are you with the IRS or the BATF? I told him he didn't have to be so nasty to me and we had a good laugh. :lol: :lol: I told him I was from the forums that Kari used to hang around on and things got even better.

Well, bottom line is I found a shotgun I had to have and there was no price on it. The owner looked at it and said, $150 is the "friend of Kari" price. 8-) When I got it to the front counter, he said "What the heck make it $125, it's a "Kari special" today. 8-) 8-)

I'll post it later tonight.

Here is some of the photos of the store, If you are in the area, you have to go here....Almost all C&R's. The cabinets in the front are all filled with C&R handguns and some newer.

This is 1/2 of the shotgun room. Some real nice shotguns in there, but I only got 1/2 of the room, I don't know why!

1/2 of the sword, bayonet and knife room. I missed the other half on this also!

WOW!
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

Wow is right. I never knew about that place. I lived in the bay area for about 6 years, Tracy for 12 years and have family, sort of, that live in San Mateo. You ever heard of the San Francisco Gun Exchange? Nate Posner was the owner.

I was just checking the net about the SF Gun Exchange and found this after I posted the above. There's a guy working at Krause Werks that used to work for Nate. Small world.

Jim you could just take your personal gun hauling rig, and once again, swing through Texas and pick me up. I want everything on the right hand wall.

I just posted the shotgun over in the shotgun forums
http://www.russian-mosin-nagant-forum.c ... f=12&t=770

You know the typical gun shop owners that think they know everything and don't and have that attitude? Well, these guys were the opposite!
They are about 45 minutes away from me thank goodness! (or I'd be in bad financial shape!)

I've never seen than many guns in any gunshop here in the People's Republik of Maryland. WOW :big shock: is the only way to talk about a place like that. And the guys working there sound great too.
Damn, I'll bet that's going to leave a mark! Probably hurt too!
