My stepson went to Academy yesterday to get a section of pic rail for the handguard on an AR, just one of the small two or three inch magpul plastic m-lok rail sections, after looking in the appropriate section at Academy he didn't see any, then he noticed a glass case that was locked, inside were the magpul accessories, he went to the counter and asked the one salesperson about opening the case, and inquired as to why they are locking up accessories like that ?
Guy said they had changed the rules, any AR accessory has to be kept under lock and key, and either paid for at the gun counter, or the employee has to walk it up to the front registers and leave it for the customer ,,,, my stepson used to work part time at Academy when he first got into law enforcement,, actually worked the gun counter, back then they only walked up actual firearms, no accessories, no bullets, etc,etc,
kind of ridiculous in my opinion, and my stepson's as well, and this wasn't in a bad section of town, this was in Cartersville, just wondered if anyone else has seen this at other stores ?
I haven't bought anything from the Academy gun section in over 3 months, they never have anything I want anyway.
