I wanted to share my experiences with these companies for the benefit of others.
So I bought 2 lowers last fall, pre panic and I saved my pennies up to purchase the rest of the parts. In February I ordered an A3 rifle kit from RGuns, then waited...and waited...and waited...
Finally in June, I get a UPS shipping notification from "sportsweraus" or something like that. 2 days later my CC is charged. WooHOO!, then nothing. The tracking didn't move on the shipping. 2 weeks later, I'm getting concerned. I emailed RGuns, in a respectful email and told them that they had 3 business days to respond or I would dispute the CC charge. I never got a reply, however, within 3 hours of me sending it, the UPS label was cancelled, 2 business days later my card was refunded. Ugh, back to square one.
Sunday morning, I decided to see if anybody else had what I wanted in stock. Bravo Co. had exactly what I wanted. 3 days later, I've got a bad a** 20" upper, charging handle and BCG in my hands. They also threw in a ton of stickers, 2 training DVD's, a bottle of oil, 4 posters and a sweet ball cap.
Now to be fair, the RGuns kit (whole rifle unassembled-sans lower) was $200 cheaper than the Upper, charging handle and BCG alone, but I think 5 months is a pretty extreme amount of time to fill an order that your website says will take 6 weeks to ship out. I still have not heard one peep from RGuns. I don't know if my order is cancelled or if they just stuck it on back order or what. I didn't ask them to cancel it because they have a 20% restocking fee. I got a new CC in the mail the other day to replace the one I used to make that purchase so maybe that order will just die in cyberspace?
So, unless you have the patience of a Saint and your credit card has a while before it expires, I would avoid RGuns and I will definitely be ordering any future needed parts from Bravo Company.
