And there are small sole trader shops that wouldn't hesitate to do you over either, just like bigger ones.

I go where the service is best and the price is right.

Let's REMEMBER how H$F threw us under the bus during the firearm confiscation. They could have just keep their mouth shut but my goodness they did not hold back.
Any of the private H$F franchise owners said anything back then? Oh, no. They were all toe in line.

On the same token, went to Chch Ballingers as it was next to Swanndri and found an old 1kg pack of 8208. (that was an old pack lost in the back somewhere, 1 kg of powder ( the latest shipment) purchased via a small dealer was $147 while H$F was selling them for $199).Went to the counter and when ready to pay they asked for the FAL. i tried to explained to them that is not needed for reloading components. It took a good 15 min to convince them to call their manager and bloody do their homework.
Sorry for them, but some people actually paid attention on the law changes and during the maths classes!
