Let's face it, times are tough in the shooting community right now. So I shamelessly pulled from a variety of web sites the idea of a single thread for "where can I get ammo/parts/firearms/general shootin stuff" at. Rules are simple:
No Ebay, Gunbroker, Armslist or private sales. It's far too easy for someone to get robbed in an internet car jacking by someone with a less than stellar reputation. And right now folks are buying anything they can and paying whatever people are asking and some probably get jipped along the way. While the majority of sellers are probably honorable folks, there will be some shady sellers out there. So to omit the chances of someone getting ripped off, no private sales or auction websites.
Should be a reputable dealer. We all know some hole in the wall sites out there that can/will have good deals. So if you've dealt with them before, make sure you add that into the post. Or if you have no experience, make sure that is known as well.
The item should be in stock. While things are coming into the market on a minute to minute basis, act in good faith that the item was in stock when you post. Some companies are still doing back orders, but they don't do a lot of good since lead times sometimes range from 3-6 months wait. If the item later goes out of stock, feel free to add that to the thread.
Please limit the price gougers out there. While everyone knows certain companies with the initials CTD that might rhyme with Cheaper Than Dirt have items in stock, I don't believe we do anyone any good by posting their insanely stupid prices that do little more than keep the prices high. Starve the beast I say and look for better deals at other companies that do not try to profit off the falsely inflated market.
Should be something internet related or a business willing to ship. If you have a local company that's not on the web, but is willing to ship out of State, please add in their contact information.
Try to keep it shooting related. Firearms, parts, magazines, ammunition, scopes, etc are what we are looking for. Even something like armorer's tools, shooting rests, etc are okay.
Should be pretty simple stuff here. With the nonsense going on in the country right now, let's help each other find what we need or could use.
