InFamous 311 Posted March 19, 2015 Pretty cool considering I do get a lot of good deals from them. We'll see how it works out and I hope the local FFL's send them their info. Trustworthy company for anything I've ever ordered from them. Can't wait to see how this works out and how cheap they can get. http://www.sportsmansguide.com/splash?key=Guns&Spiff=4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
njJoniGuy 2,131 Posted March 19, 2015 You really expect the a-holes that won't even ship an A2 front sight tool to the PRNJ because "it's used on an assault weapon" are going to ship firearms to us here in the gulag?? What a joke! Fuggem. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFNS111 0 Posted March 19, 2015 I was thinking the same thing, They sometimes have good ammo prices for 54R but this is NJ after all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted March 19, 2015 They won't ship jack to NJ. They don't care it it's a $12 - 4" picainny rail. I use to buy a lot from them, but their idiot practices kind of steer me away. They can send cases of ammo to you, but if it smells of an AR, no go... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djg0770 481 Posted March 19, 2015 The NJ AG went after them so they made it corporate policy to not sell anything AR related to NJ, period. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InFamous 311 Posted March 19, 2015 I've only purchased ammo and clothing from them so I was unaware of the AR parts issue. I'm still interested in seeing their prices and what they will ship to NJ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSD1026 48 Posted March 19, 2015 I find it strange that they wont ship AR "parts" to NJ, but they will sell AR AMMO to NJ. Seems really backwards. as with Infamous, i've only ever purchased ammo from them, so had no idea they didnt ship AR parts here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InFamous 311 Posted March 20, 2015 They have free shipping on orders with no minimum order FYI for those that wanna order some ammo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DFNS111 0 Posted March 20, 2015 The shipping might be free but they slap on a handling charge in it's place. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
InFamous 311 Posted March 20, 2015 The shipping might be free but they slap on a handling charge in it's place. They have never had a handling fee in any purchase I've made from them. My totals always have equaled the cost of merchandise only. I placed about 6 orders towards the end of last year so that's recent enough that I doubt it's been chanced since then. Maybe you ordered a long time ago when they used to use this practice? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ReadDude 0 Posted March 20, 2015 i'm still mad at them about their bizarre handling of the ammo shortage. They kept backorders from me for over a year, then cancelled my order two days before they put out a sale of the same ammo on their site (9mm Blazer Brass) I used to put in an order every 6 mos. for a 1,000 rounds Mini-mags before early 2013, no more (even if it were available) Also, I always seem to find that most of the hunting/shooting related equipment is less than top quality. if it is real cheap compare the model vs. other sources and you'll find they are the seconds, old models or lowest end items. The only upside is they'll take back bad stuff pretty much no question asked. They are about the only place i keep sending stuff back to though. I always argue with my FIL about this, he is always getting a "deal" from SG but then complains about it all the time. I usually wait and buy the better item on sale at Cabelas or via Amazon and find it is good the first time. The exception is stuff that is not going to last a long time anyway like cheap ground blinds and the like. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's possible. It's been a few years but they definitely slapped a handling charge on spam cans when I bought them. Maybe because they are heavy, I don't know. I was a paid member at the time, and got their promo email with the free shipping code. I'm not trying to put you off them, but I was surprised when that charge got tacked on at checkout. Otherwise they worked for me. I think I got an upper from them before they stopped AR orders to NJ. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also, no worries...I've been ordering through them for years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm still waiting for CCI minimags for 4 cents per round. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bhunted 887 Posted March 20, 2015 When I got back into firearms a few years ago I ordered and received all kinds of ammo from them. Then came the crunch. I'm still waiting for CCI minimags for 4 cents per round. Ammo is not the problem. I've literally spent thousands with them. Use to buy cases of ammo. Then one day they had a carry handle picatinny mount on sale for like $12... They processed everything else. They called me to say they cancelled the rail because I'm in NJ... I argued with them saying it was not on the SG ban list and it was just a scope mount. She said it was an error, but no. This was at least a decade ago. What BS.... Haven't bought anything from them since. I get some rules but that? Anything AR related, even a fooking mount, they won't ship. Dumasses.
