Buyer Beware (0 stars if possible)…read more
I had a very negative experience with Davis Gun Worx and would strongly caution others before doing business here.
On January 29, I called about having Magpul furniture installed on my Maverick 88 shotgun. I was told it would be a simple job and take less than an hour. I dropped the firearm off in person on January 30. At that time, I was told he had just returned from SHOT Show and was busy, but to give him two days and call back.
After two days, I began calling and could not get a response. I attempted to contact him repeatedly on February 3, 4, 5, 9, 10, and 11. I was only able to reach him once, and during that call he told me it would be another two days because he was still busy. I never received a return call, and all follow-up communication had to be initiated by me.
I even went to the business location during posted business hours. The "open" sign was on, but no one answered the door.
At that point (Feb 12th), my firearm had been in his possession far longer than the quoted timeframe with no communication, so I contacted the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department. When deputies called him, he answered immediately. However, when I called him right afterward, he became hostile and aggressive, demanding I pick up the firearm immediately because he no longer wanted it on his property.
He also told the deputy that I had dropped the firearm off only a week prior and that he had informed me he needed to order parts. That is not accurate. I was told twice it would take two days, and I was never informed that parts needed to be ordered.
Because of his hostility on the phone, I requested deputies be present when retrieving my firearm. When it was returned (Feb 13th), the barrel, the bag I brought it in, and the flashlight I intended to have installed were not returned with it. I will now have to go through small claims court to hopefully retrieve my property.
Between the lack of communication, the extended possession of my property, the lies told to law enforcement, and the missing items, this was an extremely unprofessional and concerning experience.
I would strongly advise others to proceed with caution. Communication and professionalism are essential in this industry, and that is not the experience I had AT ALL.
