Seems kinda like a wholesaler. My problem is that over the years I've dealt with only a hand full of suppliers. Aim, J&g Sales, Allans,Brownells,Classic Arms. These people provide out standing service,good products at great prices. Just want to try some other places. Plus they have ammo !

I've never dealt with R-Guns, but I have with Model-1-Sales and Sherluk. For several years prior to the election, I had always had good experiences with both of these companies. But, right now, I'm having ongoing customer service issues with Model-1-Sales. I ordered a kit in November, the week after the election and it didn't arrive until the first of February. Upon arrival, I found that the barrel they sent me was the wrong twist-rate. I returned it a few days later, and still have not gotten a replacement. Their phone line stays busy 95% of the time, and when I do get through, I only get the run-around from their "customer service" person. I have not dealt with Sherluk since the election, so I don't know how they are doing now. All of the "evil black rifle" vendors may be having similar issues due to huge increases in orders. What puzzles me is, with the economy in the dumper, these few lucky businesses are getting record-setting amounts of orders. It seems to me that they could use their good fortune to hire a few extra people to help maintain their customer service. That simple act would stimulate the economy better than anything coming out of the DC-toilet. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

Best to deal only with the venders that you trust or ones that have a endorsement from the members of this forum. If the deal looks to good to be true,it probably is'nt .

The story is about a scorpion asking a frog to carry him across a river. The frog is afraid of being stung, but the scorpion reassures him that if it stung the frog, the frog would sink and the scorpion would drown as well. The frog then agrees; nevertheless, in mid-river, the scorpion stings him, dooming the two of them. When asked why, the scorpion explains, "I'm a scorpion; it's my nature." He may get glowing reviews because they are paying sponsorship money, but he's still a scorpion. Last Edited By: JTB1967 03/01/09 07:54 PM. Edited 1 times.

They won't describe guns on the phone, are hard to deal with on returns other than "just send it back". This is almost all based on 91/30 snipers. The problem there is that any criticism of a Gunboard's sponsor is met with the same enthusiasm as one would expect after calling someone's mother a slut. Hard to judge, but I'd say overall they would be a B- company. befus
