    Watermark Arms - Additional room and gunsmithing

    Watermark Arms

    All good things must come to an end…read more Watermark has raised their FFL fees to $40. Effectively, they're saying "please don't buy guns somewhere else and get them sent here - we don't want that business." Lesson learned - I should have checked before I sent my transfer if their price had increased. I get it. They want to sell their own inventory. That makes sense. But the business that will be lost in people who also needed accessories and ammo is likely significant as they decrease traffic into their store: Every time I went in for a transfer o tried to buy something - even if just a bottle of cleaner - to support them. There are too many other options at $25 or less. If you do want to put hands on a gun before you buy and want to buy local, their selection is huge. They just added a room of additional parts and accessories, which also houses their gunsmithing area. Their gunsmithing is still spectacular, especially older or less popular guns, and their cerakoting service is reasonable and really well done. Net net they're a plus to the gun community in a growing part of the Austin area. They're just not the great deal they were before for transfers and the stress of growth is showing, so I'll have fewer reasons to go back.

    Aloha! I stopped by here the other day before my son's wedding weekend. What a friendly bunch of…read moreguys. I think every associate asked if I had any questions! My son and I were already impressed. Finally the owner Mike cornered me and I mentioned I owned a gun store in Hawaii. Mike openly offered every piece of advice and opinion possible, and we discussed a lot. Needless to say, they are a great group. You will be treated with professionalism and friendly open opinion. I have a much appreciated new family in Texas to depend on. Much Mahalo's Watermark!

    Downgrading my review. Staccato Ranch, while a great place to shoot, is falling into that familiar…read morepattern of worsening customer experience. While they updated the calendar for New Years Day to indicate being closed, they made no such updates for New Years Eve, indicating they were open until 7P AND that they had an all day special from 9-5 for shotgun shooting discounts. When I showed up at 4P for a standard indoor lane I was told they closed at 4. No notice to paying members, no updates to the calendar for NYE (31st). This is compounded by new, untrained staff with inconsistent policies: some indicating their new electronic waiver (signed when you join, and required for guests) had to be filled out each visit; others never even nothing to ask (knowing members had already signed). It's still a great place, and the staff are both friendly and helpful. It's still a good value. It's just starting that "we're not new anymore, how much less can we get away with and people will still pay for" phase. That's disappointing... but not unexpected.

    I was able to purchase to handguns from Staccato. The C2 and the CS . Their guns are of the best…read morequality. They are amazing and I totally recommend that you try one if you ever get a chance. Hand made and so nice in your hands. They are super accurate. So I purchased the guns directly from them and had they shipped to a dealer locally. The process was so nice. Their customer service is top notch. They always help you out. I was able to get the handgun at a discount because of my job which was amazing. Their handguns are at a premium cost due to the fact that they are of the highest quality and hand made. It really reflects on it when you use them. They are First Responder friendly and made in America. I can't say enough of how great their weapons are and the quality that they promote. I love both the handguns that I got and they are worth every penny I spent on them. So reliable and accurate.

    Bought a Kibler Colonial Long-rifle KIT (flintlock muzzleloader) with extra fancy maple which cost…read morejust under $2000...yes for a kit. Spent many many hours assembling, fitting, filling, draw-filing, finishing, patina the metal. Turned out extremely beautiful. Decided to put a tang peep site on the gun, purchased a Johnson Peep Site which came with 2 screws that I asked Jim to drill and tap back by the tang and showed him exactly where. A couple weeks later, Jim calls me in preparation to work on my barrel and was very confused. First he thought he had to buy the peep site...no Jim, I dropped it off with the barrel. Few days later, I called and he was telling me that he had to order the screws, no Jim, I dropped those off with the barrel and peep site. Get a call to let me know the barrel was ready, go pick it up and Jim has installed the site about a 1/3rd the way up the barrel and the condition of the barrel showed it was not handled badly. Rust, scratches, little dents, etc. Told him this was totally unacceptable, so Jim's assistant, Tim brought it to a competent gunsmith in Leander to get the holes drilled in the right place which they did but now I have 2 holes in a very expensive barrel that I spent 2 months working on and no apologies but did get charged full price for his sloppy work. To be honest, this crushed my soul given the price I paid and the numerous hours/weeks I spent working on it. CRUSHED MY SOUL!!!!! Do not go there, go to Leander and save yourself the headache and grief.
