    Red face Happy days are here again, sort of....

    Well at least the availability of bolt carrier groups has eased up. I finally got the BCG to complete my retro build. I have been using one BCG betrween my M4gery and my 602 clone for 5 months!

    After a 4 month dog and pony show waiting for RGUNS to ship what was listed as an "in stock" M-16A1 BCG, I gave up and told them to get lost. 4 months of either no responses to my emails or brief, snotty responses, was just too much. I picked up an M16A1 complete BCG on Gunbroker for $120. Funny thing is that it is an RGUNS BCG from the look of it! A vendor can ship me one, but they can't?????

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I got pretty much the same run around from Model 1 Sales concerning the varmint upper I ordered in mid Dec. Finally got it about 2 weeks ago, but only after sending an e mail cancelling the order. Got an immediate response stating it would be ready to ship out by the next afternoon. In the end I guess it was worth the wait but don't think I would have the patience to do it again.

    RGUNS has a terrible reputation for poor customer service. I have bought from them before, and just accepted the wait, because they had good prices. This last four months was a joke. The BCG were listed as "in stock" so I ordered. The web page said up to two week back log for BCGs, and 4 weeks for uppers. Two weeks turned into 16 weeks, and repeatedly email asking status. Mostly they never answered, but sometimes a snotty "TS" email saying it is bad all over, yotta, yotta, yotta... They threaten you with a $100 order cancelation fee against the credit card. I talked to my bank and they said they can not do that since they have been unable to deliver in the stated time.. STEER CLEAR OF RGUNS!
