Fabarm FP6 Pump = Paramilitary?

wildboarZ · August 28, 2000, 06:33 PM

I stopped by one of my local dealers today to ask about the Fabarm FP6. This is a large store with all the big names for sale and almost all the HK USP calibers and sizes in stock. I pointed to the FP6, standard black finish with the rail and 20" barrel in the catalog and the salesman went to ask the manager. The manager shook his head and said "we don't order that paramilitary stuff."

The rack around the corner had TWO Remington 870 marines with the 18" barrel.

I always thought they would be up to ordering anything that wasn't banned. Is it common for dealers to do this?

Only the narrow-minded, ignorant ones.

If they needed to order it anyway, you can give your money to a friendly dealer. Rather bad attitude on the part of your local shop.

Apparently that dealer has been persuaded by the antis and that appearance DOES promote criminal activity.
