Buying airsoft guns from local stores?

Okay, the airsoft guru at my surplus store can order me the gun I want. So should I do this, and get the gun for 10 dollars more, or wait and buy it off ASGI? I'm thinking I should buy it locally, because I can support the store, and shipping costs aren't in effect.

For shipping you'd probably end up paying around $15, so the extra $10 from the local place isn't a bad deal. Also you don't have to wait for a package in the mail.

Ya definitely buy locally in that situation. They need the business more than Airsoft GI does, plus you'll save noticeably in the end.

yeah thats what I was figure, does anybody else do this?

if the store sells AS guns ask for there catalog, most likely they will have it, if it's through the company that you want.

Well ya, Airsoft GI is considered a local store for me

well, thats because ur fat jkjk

I don't have those luxuries you guys do in cali, and every other state thats got major AS stores. the store that is dedicated is about an hour and a half drive and they only carry electric guns.

I'm pretty sure he was talking about the walk-in store...

I think there's a couple stores around here but I've only been to one and they don't sell much airsoft accessories other than holsters and pouches. Other than that there's uniforms, head covers, RS handguns, etc

I bought Mary from a local gun shop, though she cost nearly $20 more than online. A big bonus is he gives me discounts because I am a good customer and he lets me try out his new stuff (Like the [I think] Ares M60E3! )

That gun shop has become my main retailer for weapons and ammo.

definatly buy local for the price. I don't because my local AN store is WAY over priced. like sometimes 60-100 bucks over.
