Forum rules
Posting of negative comments in the Gunshop section could bring unwanted criticism on the forum, having said that it is important to let members know if dealings with a Gunshop were less than ideal for you. To that end we will allow what will be known as the 'Scotsgun Ruling'

The Scotsgun Ruling:

>Add Gun Shop here<

"As I've yet to have a 'positive' experience there, I'll refrain from commenting further."

Beyond that please take it up with the Gunshop, if you do resolve the issue in a agreeable manner let us know!

This rule applies to the entire forum.

Made a fairly sizeable order to take advantage of the free shipping, also found some items that were free in their clearance section and all arrived within one week via parcelforce.

Excellent magpul prices too.

Will use again!

I've got a few 10 round mags on back order, £19.30.

The first S&W mags I bought in 2012 were over £70 for 2, it's a considerable saving.

All the prices seem to have gone up recently, as the pound has weakened against the dollar, still the same mags I paid £20.30 8 months ago are £23.20 now.

Cheapest place by a fair margin for some Warne QD mounts I recently ordered.
Firearms related legal question? Look here before posting about it.

Some of their prices are OK, but their delivery charges have put me off on more than one ocassion. For example, they have J-B Bore Paste @ £8.90, which is OK, but the delivery charge is £8.85, which has got me dithering between buy/don't buy.

Perhaps I'm just getting tighter as I get older. :oops: 8-)

Same here - just needed few bits for around £10 but why would I pay £8.90 on top especially that those items could be sent in an envelope much cheaper?

Anyone know how long brownells take's to get an item if it's on backorder? I might want some 7.62x39 AR mags as they are not easy to come by and if anyone knows an EU based supplier of them I'd be grateful.
