Thanks

Mod LenS,
Thank you. I did not know the other thread/comments existed and I find JimB's experience interesting and perhaps somewhat analogous to mine, seems the sense I got may have been justified. Thank you.

Greg and I went to Tite-Group a couple of weeks ago and had a very nice visit with Mike, and I walked away with an unexpected purchase of a nice little gun I didn't know I wanted. We went up there to buy ammo for the AR, he had Wolf at a great price ($159/K), we ended up spending quite a bit of time chatting. It's a very small storefront and he doesn't have a lot visible, but he seems to have quite a few things tucked away if you ask. I'm having a bit of a hard time reconciling my experience with him with some of what I've read here. I thought he was a really nice guy, professional and knowledgable, and enjoyed doing business with him.

Correction.....we went there for 7.62X39 for the SKS. Of the seven gun shops I called pricing 7.62X39 he was the second cheapest and had it in stock. I will gladly make the drive to Northboro from Hanson again to do business with Mike. Decent guy.

Glad to hear the positive comments. I expect to be doing business with him in the very near future.

I had an excellent experience with this shop. The owner had plenty of time to give personal service, unlike most other places I have been to, no rush, and was happy to really find out what I was looking for and make recommendations, and make sure I got what I wanted. I would do business again any time!

Well I guess I'm an anomaly. I've had good and bad- similar to everyone here. I was told a gun was in stock and when I got there it wasn't. I was told not to buy his guns from his auction but the prices instore were higher. On the other hand- he's a good guy, generally has good prices and was helpfull.

Anyone talk with him about our fine AG? LOL- that gets his blood boiling.

I'd certainly buy from Mike again.

Just bought a Glock from Mike and had no problems.

Seemed like a good guy.

I have bought a pistol and done 3-4 transfers through Mike-including a slide and receiver and found him reasonable and accomodating. He does have a small shop literally and in terms of display inventory. Mike is also a 1 man-band and not open 40+ hours a week. As a result he may not always give you a prompt reply. He does have stuff on Gunbroker sometimes and he has his own web-site which is pretty stale in terms of up to date info/pricing as near as I can tell.

IMO get ahold of him on the phone or drop by his shop when it is open-he does keep regular hours- and go over what you want, he is resourceful and willing to work on price, particularly if you can do cash.

I bought a new gun from him on Saturday. He's a great guy to do business with. I will certainly be doing business with him again in the future.

-Cuz.

 

[sdavid]

I'll add that he is a great person to do business with. There have also been times that he walked across the street an donated rifles and such for GOAL and the GOAL Foundation.

I've found Titegroup to be an excellent powder for the 40S&W, though some of the big name shooters like TGO swear by VV N320.

Oh, OK... we're talking about powder. From the title I thought maybe this was a porn thread. My mistake.

Made a visit to the shop this week. Small but well set up. I would deal with Mike again any time. It was worth the trip from Cape Cod.

 

[pdm]

Picked up a Smith & Wesson from Mike today (it's Friday still, somewhere, sorta). Great experience, he was super helpful. Would buy from him again.

 

[News Shooter]

Made my first trip today

To get one of the new M & P 9mms. Very straightforward and pleasant transaction. Very willing to show me anything.

 

[Cross-X]

I picked up my M&P yesterday -- sweeeet doesn't even begin to describe it!

Mike Wheelock of Tite Group Sporting in Northboro is simply the best!

 

[ArmedMainer]

Alot of the stuff on his site is there because some of his business is from people in free states. I doubt he'd sell anything non-compliant .

 

[Admin]

I know Mike will not sell anything that is non-compliant.

That`s not what I`ve been told. Why does he advertise new Glocks on his website then?

 

[News Shooter]

He advertises many non-compliant guns on his site

Because he sells those to free staters only

You might want to tell your "friend" to get his facts straight before he runs his mouth.

And if you actually have a question as to why Mike does something, I'd strongly suggest that you speak with him, since he's the only person ofn the face of the Earth who could give you a definitive answer to that sort of question.

Hey Derek, calm down. Did I hit a nerve or something? I asked a simple question.

Every time I've been there, it's been closed - even when the "OPEN" sign was displayed.

Maybe you have crappy timing and he was in the terlit.

He's usually running to the post office. I drive by it everyday and his door is usually open. You must have bad timing Keith. Next time you are in the area let me know. I work right down the road.

I apologize if I came off harsh. I just don't like when I hear someone say "A friend told me"...

No problem. I was curious why this shop advertises new Glocks w/prices.
