Buy recommendations Any actual good experiences with FOC?
As the title states, has anyone actually had any good experiences with Firearms Outlet Canada? Getting back into the sport after several years of hiatus. I’ve been to their old store and had a pretty piss poor interaction with them. They act like everything you ask is a chore and it’s a privilege to be buying from them.
Thought I would try them again since they’re 5 min from my folks place. Called to ask to price match a $30 difference on a rifle and was told they only price match Ontario stores. Then I asked if I pick it up can I get a few bucks off from shipping savings since they offer free shipping over $500 (yes my order was over $500) and was also told no.
Naturally I ordered my rifle from another reputable shop online.

I’ve never had an online experience with them where I’d say everything was 100% good (this was pre-website breach when I was still shopping there). The one time I visited in person the guy at the counter was trying to act all cool and knowledgeable. I wanted to buy a box of 10mm among other things and he said that it doesn’t make sense for anyone to buy because it’s “not legal for IPSC”. He kept yapping on and I’m like, so are you going to get me the 10mm? “Oh you actually wanted that?” Uh, yeah…
