Do they really call themselves Ma**h***s?

 

[In God We Trust]

Wow. Bad day for mill reviews.

 

[silversquirrel]

I could do a better job with a vise and file.

Down to partner up for Bunghole Firearms in the North Shore?

 

[boilermaker]

Why had you chosen them? I didn't even know they offered the service.

 

[slugworth]

Wow that’s horrible. Hacks!!!

That or could do "WRONG HOLE! Firearms". Shoot me a DM if serial.

[quinnjalan]

Wow, that’s a total hack job.

 

[In God We Trust]

Wow, that’s a total hack job.

Yeah that’s pretty bad. Someone actually did that work and thought “well, job done! Time to give this to the customer.”

Thanks for warning us.

Looks like the endmills should have been tossed a job or two before. Or the feed and speed settings were WAY off. They could have (easily) deburred the side of the slide. I hope the job was dirt cheap since that appears to be the job quality.

Wanted to support the local shops before sending my slide across the country and potentially getting it lost in transit.

The Mill isn't what people make it out to be. For a while it was popular because it had the most FFLs that were willing to walk the legal line as far as frame transfers, compliant ARs, etc went. But most FFLs there (not all) have terrible customer service. People went there because it was one of the only options for items that were too high risk for places like FS, MFS, etc.

Since the new law pretty much kills all the legal avenues the Mill shops were using to sell their goods, a lot are going to go out of business really quickly since their customer service model sucks compared to other gun shops. Still a few good FFLs left there though.

We should all want the FFLs at the Mill and elsewhere in MA to survive and, indeed, thrive... even under the hideous new unconstitutional law designed mainly to put them out of business.

The problem, as I see it, is two-fold. First, the new law drastically limits what they can sell... and secondly, the long, slow build-up to the new law meant that everybody that wanted something (including ammo) probably bought that something before the new law took full effect.

So what is left to keep them in business now? Maura-approved guns? Ammo smothered in paperwork? I'm not sure... but I'd certainly like to know.

Let's be honest. No rational market would support 80ish FFLs in one building. That doesn't exist in other places. The Mill was around because of the AWB not in spite of it. In most other states gun shop compete on customer service, not on being the ones who are willing to walk the line of legality. When you can walk into any LGS and get any federally legal gun, shops with poor customer service and limited hours become a lot less appealing.

The only thing that will drive most of the Mill out of business faster than H4885 is a repeal of the ASFB. When you can walk into MFS, CGW, FS, or shit, even BassPro and get any rifle/handgun you want, dealing with Mr. Grumpy pants who is only open 6 hours a week loses all of it's appeal.

Was it the young man or the owner that did that? The young man did a pin weld for me that was spot on and the owner did a build for me that was also spot on.

Worth checking out @CDSUSA Custom Defense Solutions at the Mill. Jason's shop stands above in these regards IMHO.

I think you missed my point. I am concerned about the survival of MA FFLs for the reasons I stated regardless of where in MA they are located.

That is "one of the good ones" I had mentioned in my other post. Done some business with him and it's been fantastic each time.

Yes, Jason and his crew are excellent. I would have no hesitation recommending his shop to both new and experienced firearm buyers. Some other shops in the area might not be the best choice for a first-time buyer, as a poor experience could turn them off from the industry altogether.

Did Ma**h*** Firearms actually perform the work, or did they subcontract it? Ultimately, it doesn’t matter, as they are still liable for the results either way.
