Default Guns: Battlehawk Armory?

Anyone deal with Battlehawk Armory for gun purchases? Pricing I see seems significantly lower than gunbroker, guns.com, etc. Positive or negative opinions?

I was super close to buying from them, then read the reviews. The guy answered my phone call but it sounds suspect that you’ll actually receive your order.

Check out other vendors on gun.deals ; I choose to pay a few bucks more for a brick & mortar with good reviews like Liberty Pawn, Buds, Tombstone Tactical, Grabagun, Kygunco, Smoky Mountain Gun, etc.

Never bought a gun online. Have used computers to arrange for an inspection prior to purchase though. No shortage of gun shops around here and I'm not averse to travelling for that. You can consider that an opinion

Just for grins I stopped by their site... It seems they have almost no inventory.
For instance, I searched Colt brand handguns and of the 35 models listed only 4 were in inventory. Similar results elsewhere in the store. At least on Gunbroker and the other auction sites the item listed is what you would receive.

Purchase from someone who has it in stock. I've purchased from Reeds on GB and directly from Palmetto State Armory a number of times. Great service and shipped to the FFL of my choosing without any issues.

I'd much rather pay a little more for a LOT less hassle.

I went to a few local stores & all advised me to go online & look, as it's been hard for them to get specific guns, & they never know how long it'll take. Strange times.

Maybe strange because I've ordered guns from a catalog in the past. But some stores used to (maybe still do) have exclusionary contracts with manufacturers. The contract disallows them the ability to sell competitors guns. Could be something like that happening? If so there's nothing strange about it, just business as usual.

I was going to send you a PM to see if you know how to check your local FFL on Gunbroker to see if they have their info on file.

You don't have PM's enabled

Thanks; one of the local stores told me they're on file with Gunbroker, so they'll be my FFL. $46 including NICS, seems reasonable.

We have a statewide firearms owners message board with a "FOR SALE or TRADE" section here. Have used it a few times to buy guns in the past. Got a really good deal on an M1A Scout from a lawyer out of Lansing

If nothing else it's fun to browse as they generally include pictures and there are always lots of new posts. Face to face sales. Might be something like that in your area?

He's in NJ, so the regular laws are more convoluted. I just looked and it seems both folks must have current FID cards and they need to get copies of each other's cards. They do NOT have to mail them to the police.
Do NOT assume I read that correctly Stevedore, check yourself before the purchase.
