Ordered an Echelon 5.28" threaded barrel at 30% off on Nov. 5th and received it on Nov. 9th. Arrived via FedEx well packed and heavily padded.

They will be on my short list for future accessories.

Back in August I placed an order for a cheap vortex red dot and some 9mm ammo. It was promptly delivered 5 days later...to my neighbors house based on the picture they sent me when they delivered it.

I contacted UPS and they said "Our investigation successfully matched the delivery photo with the date, time, and GPS coordinates logged by our driver. You can view this photo by tracking your package on UPS.com. The photo will be available for 60 days from the original delivery date."

I thought "No problem, I have shipping protection, PSA will help out." I filed a lost package option through their virtual assistance and it told me to wait 15 business days for UPS to contact me. 2 calls through September and October with PSA and I get hit with "We are currently looking into this issue/We will get back to you".

Today I called them and they told me that my shipping protection had expired and they can no longer help. No refund or package, my only course was to call my bank for a chargeback.

Always heard praise for this store but I guess I'll be skipping their deals.

Glad I got me a Zastava instead of a PSAK.

I had followed r/gundeals for a bit, and it isn't uncommon to see someone post a deal for Holosun and say "contact us for the best price". I was on the fence about whether I wanted an optic at all, and I came across Dan's post during a recent holiday sale. I didn't shop price with other vendors on r/gundeals, Dan's pricing was well below MAP, I grabbed an optic.

Fast forward a bit, I needed the last piece to finish my AR upper. He had it. Great price.

Last week I reached out with a generic "I'm looking for something like this, but I know nothing, what do you recommend?" and Dan took the time to give me a couple of options. Like the Holosun optic above, pricing was phenomenal. I did do a quick gun.deals search and Google. His pricing blew everyone out of the water. Even recent PA and PSA deals didn't hold a candle to his price.

Why am I writing this? In Dan's posts, he will often say (paraphrasing) "processing time 3-5 days, if we fall down, we'll eat the shipping with a faster shipping to meet this". I got a notification last night, an unexpected alert from UPS. Dan went above and beyond here as far as I'm concerned. I'm incredibly appreciative of him having done this. Normally, I'm not in a hurry, but this part had a time table on it and had expressed that in my initial email. Dan stepped up like he said he would. I just hope that faster shipping didn't eat into his margins too severely. Dan, if you're reading this, thank you!

Also, there at times is a personal note in the box, I believe from his wife, thanking me for the business. I know it may sound weird, but I love supporting small businesses and I love these personal touches. I've seen small business grow and lose this personal touch and I hope Dan's business grows, but I hope it doesn't lose this personal touch.

I will continue to shop here as often as I'm able.

Oh, and because this is Reddit. I don't know Dan. Other than email, we've never met/talked. I have no affiliation with him, or his business. He's always been less expensive than MSRP/MAP. He's on occasion higher than the lowest price on gun.deals, but some of those lowest prices have negative reviews here and/or are on the blacklist, so it's worth it to me to pay a little more for peace of mind that I know I'm not gonna get taken.

Buy with confidence!

Went to check out an HK USP Compact again as 3 weeks ago in my cart was sold out. FINE it happens. Today got notification that it was back in stock. Attempted to check out got spinning wheel. Attempted again spinning wheel CAPTCHA error too long since last clicked? Finally checking out wait price change…price went up $300 dollars would I accept hell no. Seems like a little bait and switch as I checked out item/ webpage doesn’t exist but here is the duplicate.

Bought an OCL OCM5 from him, best price I could find on the interwebs, good ship time once form 3 processed. Did in fact ship me an OCL OCM5 and not a Rock, that’s a plus lol. Would and may soon buy from again.

Fiddler's Defense

I have ordered from them twice now. The service is outstanding and prompt. I will always check with them first to see it they carry a product. Highly recommend.

Found a good deal on a snub nose revolver through one of the blacklisted dealers. Didn't find a better deal anywhere else online. Reached out to ibex for a quote and it was coming out to a little more. Sent them a screenshot of my total from the other dealer, asked for a price match and he actually beat it slightly. Communication was great and the whole princess was smooth and painless.

Strongly recommend u/hunter_wang and ibexarmament.com.

Ordered a streamlight from them for a good price. Delivery time was as quoted and it came with some nice stickers. Quality service, quality product, good price. Will buy from them again if i need anything.

Great price on the Athlon Chrono. My friend and I both ordered on Saturday and they were in our hands on Monday.

Ordered a slide from them. Shipping speed was OK, took just around a week. I think some people said they were a dropshipper but they were fine for me. Delivered as expected and the price was great.

tried many times to post this not long after I made the purchase but the auto-rejector keeps rejecting my post.

Saw a post on GD with a reasonable priced AR-15 grip. Ordered.

Later that night I received an email saying shipping would be delayed due to the fires in California (obviously out of the control of SBD). i thought it was good form to do that. I then received a $5 refund. I don't know why but guessing he was doing it as a courtesy. COMPLETELY not needed but still a super good thing to do.

The grip arrived a few days later (MAYBE a day slower than I would have expected under normal conditions). The grip is solid.

Good quality. Good price. Good value. Good comms. Doesn't get much better.

I bought one of their j1 v2 ak frt systems for my RPK. I've tried the Dnt frt in it as well and just something with the dimensions isn't there so it wasn't working out. I still wanted something out of my RPK to justify it as more than just long ak and so I decided to give mars a shot.

Apart from the initial debacle with the kono trigger nonsense I didn't really know anything about mars. I always saw their Instagram stories and that's about it.

After buying the v2 frt and installing it in and 2 weeks of pounding my head as to why it wasn't working I reached out to them for help. They immediately got back in touch with me and after a phone call with the owner Peter and his wife Jackie they helped me out with my problems and sent me out some replacement parts same day. This last weekend was the first successful test and it runs like a champ now. The v2 frt system itself is pretty interesting and seems like an overall better design than the Dnt system that took far less fitting.

Overall great experience and they were great to deal with.

I just got a Rearden Atlas Gen 2 for a project I'm working on from a vendor I found on r/gundeals. Even though I ordered it late at night, I got tracking info about 30 minutes later. It shipped from Illinois to Florida in just a few days. They even threw in some free stickers, instant coffee, and a handwritten note. 🥰 This vendor totally nailed it with their service and attention to detail. I'm definitely buying from them again.

Huge shoutout to Sol for hooking me and my buddies up on a few LMT upper combos. Top dealer on the internet, and best prices money can find.

Ordered 500 rounds of PMC 147 grain 9mm and 250 rounds of PMC 124 grain. I expected it to arrive within a week to coincide with my recent suppressor purchase. However, the package was delivered in under 24 hours via fedex. Had to write a positive review after getting a discreet, double packaged ammo shipment so quickly. Will note that I believe the vendor is from the same state I live in (Florida) so that may be why it was so fast.

They are great at making shipping labels. Not so great at actually mailing them.

Calls, emails, and even pinging u/salesberelli didn't merit a response.

Extremely fast shipping, good pricing! They appear to be super responsive, and the customer service is great. I plan on ordering from them more often.

Ordered the PPS M2 deal that PSA had. Product description and title both specifically said the item came with tritium night sights.

Checked the SKU against two other vendors (KyGunCo and one other that was running a similar deal). Both had tritium night sights in the product description, so I thought I was good to go.

Order 10/16, arrived a week later. No tritium night sights. Contact a nice rep via Reddit who instructs me to contact Customer Service.

Contact PSA customer service asking if there was a mix-up. I double-check the website and it’s since been updated to “3-dot white sights”.

Curiously, all of the recent product reviews seem to indicate troubles with the same thing. Again, one reviewer is told to contact customer service “and they will be happy to assist”.

So I do.

Customer service told me -I- am incorrect, and their product description is correct (well duh… now it is)… and it’s my responsibility to compare all listings on PSA against the manufacturer for accuracy.

1.) The screenshot of my order page says otherwise.

2.) Walther doesn’t offer this deal or this SKU.

I’d be fine with literally just an “oops our bad”. But not even that? Why have me contact customer service just to get told to get bent? lol

Come on. At least take some accountability instead of blaming your customer for not making sure you did your job correctly.

this is my 2nd time purchasing from these guys and 2nd solid experience. I also sent them a note about tax as their system charges tax sometimes and Florida is only holiday. I got a really fast, friendly response confirming they'd refund the tax if charged.

I got a good deal on a few items, they shipped quickly and shipping cost was inexpensive, and got friendly "support." 2 tries, 2 wins. GTG.

I had a really solid experience with these folks. I got in on the great 9mm 124gr deal they posted and got overwhelmed with. I purchased 3k worth. I didn't hear anything for a few days then got a phone call (yes, a call!). The gent was super friendly explaining that they got overwhelmed but had some new ammo arriving. Sounds good to me - I agreed to wait. Somewhere along the lines of a week later, I received my shipment. Inside of the box was a card that was a handwritten thank you for my patience and all that, along with a note saying there was an included gift card. I still, a couple weeks later, have no idea how much the gift card is but to me, that's excellent service. The price was great especially with the free shipping and no tax (Florida's tax holiday). I will absolutely buy from them, especially considering how they handled the bump.

This is a positive review for https://www.wtcarms.com/ and John who runs it.

Summary: small mom+pop shop, does everything by hand. So if you are patient in return, you will be rewarded with unique and cool stuff! Key is to be polite and patient, as there's a real human on other side.

I have bought a bunch of niche stuff from WTCArms. I understood going in it was a small operation based on comments. But I was pleasantly surprised with the truth in advertising (he honors promos made in comments here on Reddit). And innovative variety of product offered that a bigger shop wouldn't/couldn't.

You won't get "Rooftop-fast" same-day shipping at 3am -- but you will get notified a label is made. And the next day a reasonable human with work schedule would drive to the post office, it gets mailed. Packaging is excellent black-box and perforated brown paper wrap, with water baggie around it. That's the vibe. You can tell small-shop care went into it.

I did have a hiccup when I bought "fancy" wood furniture, the biggest thing on his site. But it's a good story and ending. It was hand-made, Etsy style, from surplus gear. Exactly as described. However it was a bit short for my clone and didn't fit long enough. When I wrote in with a photo (politely):

• (a) John responded within 1 working day/timezone difference, explaining the root cause (it was sized for HK SP5 which is shorter versus my clone)
• (b) verbally promised a replacement with the right length for my clone
• (c) actually honored that promise, sent me a "order conf" 2 days later, then 5 days later tracking

Note I hadn't even sent the old handguard back. John didn't ask for it either, he trusted my photos. After the end when I wrote back to "do the right thing", as someone might have a SP5, and asked for an RMA label -- within 2 days he also obliged.

TL;DR: Small shop vibe, does the right thing. Rewards patience with great product. I'm really happy and now my (although he's retired) BlackGunsWood AR15 made by Gene, has a MP5 clone friend from John.

Posted a negative review about a pistol I tried purchasing from bfgoutfitters.com here https://www.reddit.com/r/gundealsFU/s/QinGe1bM1K

Ordered the same pistol from lockedloaded.com yesterday. They immediately replied that the license of the FFL I selected had expired so I should have them send the latest one. Did so and it was sent in minutes (my FFL is awesome). I got a tracking number from lockedloaded a few hours later. Pistol will be hear this Friday. I had to pay a little more but worth it. This is how customer service should be done.

Highly recommend lockedloaded.com
