Does anyone have any information about this gun shop?
North Texas Arms
Licensee Name: W E Hutson Enterprises LLC
6432 Highview Terrace
Watauga, TX 76148
 
I Sent him a check for a Glock 23 frame and he cashed the check and it cleared the bank about 09-26-2012, now I have not heard anything since he got my money and do not have my frame
I have sent him several message and emails but have not heard anything . Today I called several of the numbers that I could find for  Bill  Hutson and still have not heard anything back.

sorry. . . .cant find anything on them.
i went through all my cards and have
zero. can't say i've heard of them.
are they a web outfit?

[Ranger99]

only # i can find is 817-427-9261
you have that one i assume?

[rickyp]

that number i found but it was disconnected
I did some searching and found another number 817 905 5639.
I called it and left a message. but still have not gotten a call back yet if I ever do

[rickyp]

I am thinking it is a home FFl doing it as a part time job.

[Ranger99]

i use to have one 20+ years ago, but i sure
never poked anybody on a deal.


hope you ain't lost yer dough, but it's
sounding like you have.
disconnected business phones are
not a good sign at all.


i only ftf any firearms deals, that
being one of the many reasons.

[rickyp]

This was just the frame and no one around me has a glock frame only for sale,if so I would have bought it localy.
 
I do have his mailing address and I know his FFL is good until march 1 2014, I know of at least one other person that paid for a frame and has the same issue. he is about ready to call the local TX PD and have them give him a visit.
 

[Ranger99]

i hope yall come out good.


i'm sorry to say i don't believe you will.
an honest businessman will not have
disconnected phones and be so elusive
calling customers back. so if the check
cleared a week ago, it's been what, 3-4
weeks since you wrote it? don't sound
copacetic to me at all friend. . . . .
deals on the up and up don't work that way.


still hope for the best for you

[rickyp]

I know, I am hoping that something may have happened and he is unable to get on the computer of the frames out.
this is why I posted it on here in hopes that someone that lives close to him could swing by and check things out.

[rickyp]

Well yesterday afternoon I finaly got an email from them with a tracking number so hopefuly the glock 23 frame will be here soon.

[Ranger99]

@#%&**@ computer logged me off again! !






hope you get it soon


they should have tried to make contact
with you sooner. you're a nicer person
than i am. if i'd tried to call and the
phone was disconnected, i'd have come
unglued . that's no way to do business.


good luck again

[Ranger99]

any word on your part? 

[rickyp]

Nothing yet, i sent emails last night, if i dont hear back soon or the frame gets to my ffl, i am going to the batf with a complaint

[DeckH]

rickyp,  Also notify the US Postal Inspector( if the US Mail is involved) and local law enforcement.

[Ranger99]

nothing yet? 

[rickyp]

it got in a few days ago after I sent a letter to the local PD

[Ranger99]

at least you got it.
i really didn't think you'd see it
after being chain-yanked for
so long.
what a terrible way to do someone.

[rickyp]

I agree, I could deal with things happening if the guy would have just let me know what was going on I know life happens.
It is just ashame that I had to go trough all this. If it went smooth I would have bought another frame from him in a month (stupid gun laws) This fram is going to be turned into a Glcok 23, I would have bought another frame for a 22 long rifle version and I am thinking about a glock 32. so he would have had at least one more sale from me and most likley 2 more but after this I am taking my money other places.
