You guys asked for them, and here they are (finally!). These shirts were made for the staff attending Shot Show 2006, but there were so many requests asking for them that we decided to sell them here and start testing the backend engine for ordering on the AR15.com Armory.

Order your shirts before they're gone, but more importantly give us comments and suggestions on the site. We look forward to making it fully operational in July, but we need your feedback to make it optimal as well as to know what products you want to see featured. Currently the site is fully functional, but with only a couple of products for testing... send us your suggestions for products you want to see featured.

The ARMORY is intended to allow users to purchase goods from any number of vendors with a single checkout, allowing users to review the products and vendors. Send us your comments and suggestions to armory@ar15.com and if you are a manufacturer/distributor/dealer interested in selling your products through the armory, contact us at the email above for more information.

They are pigment-dyed (kinda "stone washed" look) 100% cotton and pre-shrunk so they will not shrink or fade. Screeening is a thicker material so it also will not fade or peel. I have worn and washed one shirt almost every day since Feb and it still looks fine. (gym shirt)

They do run a little large IMHO, so for instance I am 5'10" 180lbs, and I wear a medium, but that all depends on how you like your clothes to fit.

The Armory won't allow me to checkout without an address, and it won't allow me to designate an address either.

Got mine!

Fonts in the store are too small. Anyone else with that problem?

Yea, and it doesn't work in Firefox. It's supposed to be the backend server, not ready for release yet, but expedited because of demand for the shirt.

I just tried buying mine and it wouldn't accept my payment.

I selected "American Express", input my CORRECT number and expiry dates (I tripple checked this) and I got this error message: "Invalid Card Number!". Then, the dropdown selection form for credit card type would say "MasterCard" when I'm absolutely certain I selected "American Express". So I re selected AMEX and tried again and it continued to revert back to MC with the error message I indicated above. I'm absolutely certain I used the correct card number and I'm certain the card is active and valid.

Also, the font is way too small and difficult to read.

We'll take all comments and suggestions... push tonight enabled American Express, so feel free to try again and let us know if it works. Thanks for the feeback; keep it coming!

AmEx - "Your card could not be authorized. "

Number & Exp are correct. Amex either has issue or verification interface is down. Please advise when AmEx is up & running.

Now I'm getting this error message instead of the previous one. I just verified my AMEX too.

Seems AMEX REQUIRES the additional verification ID# on the cards, so we will have to add that to the checkout. Apologies for the inconvenience, and we will have it fixed within 24 hours.

Are the green T's available... if not when would they be?

New Membership to day too... and YES... the shirts prompted me.

Green sold out quickly; perhaps in a couple of weeks we will have more?
Waiting to see demand for existing shirts before I go order more...

Another option is to take orders for a week or so, and then ship once they are produced, meaning like a week after that. Cost is higher though if we do not order a minimum qty, so that's why we have ordered a larger batch up front.

Another option is to offer different shirts (lighter weight perhaps) with diff designs so you don't have ot wear the same shirt EVERY day. It's all about what the people want, so speak up!

I was going to buy one of each... but I can order the tan & wait for the green to come in.

Thanks EdwardAvila,

David

ETA: Ordered my shirt. Went w/o a hitch. The font size IS way to small... and I have good eyes. The font size and style need to be addressed.

Thanks again

Tried to order but got an error: Error Code: 5_632866013251453825
It worked now!

The Add to cart button is too small. You need a big red button that says "Give em all my money!" or make it a little bigger.



Thanks EdwardAvila

Picked up two, went OK. Kinda hard to navigate the site. Took me a minute to figure out how to order and couldn't tell if you had other products for sale or not. Overall not too bad though. It might be nice to get an emailed receipt or at least one when item is shipped with a tracking number?

Should get both; one when ordered, and another when shipped.

Nope. Got neither. Checked on the website and under the my account tab it said the order was shipped. No tracking number though. Glad the shirts are coming though.

Ditto!! I actually had to use Ctrl-F to find the word "ADD" -- I couldn't find it at all just looking.

If not listed, it's because they were sold out. New order coming in this Friday.

I tried to order one, but the website would not give me a confirmation; then I checked my account and it seems as if I ordered 3 of them; I will email later about cancelling two of them and I'll call the bank to hold funds on those. I hope to refceive just one, which is all I want. They look great and will go nice with all the stuff I wear to the range. Look forward to receive my own.

Great! Too bad my size/color has sold out in the process of waiting though.

Any idea as to when you'll be receiving more 'tan' in 'large'?

Love the shirt! but the large is large.

Would be willing to trade someone a large for a medium.

I received my shirt today and I can tell you that the X-Large is really X-Large.

Also the Screen Printing on both sides of the shirt is really out of whack.

Is there an exchange program or a refund program?

Thanks.

Yep, x-large is truley extra large but fits me perfectly, and screen printing on both my shirts is spot on. Maybe you could post a picture of what's wrong?

It's like the text is off center on the back of the shirt and crooked. On the front the logo is crooked as well.

I'll take a pic when I have a chance and post it for you.

While I'm sure the screen-printing is not an exact measurement, and I certainly won't argue with you since I'm not looking at the shirt, if there's something you don't like about it send it back and I'll send you another, no questions asked.

Reason they don't work is "No match on Street and Zip (N)" meaning whatever address you're putting in for your billing address is not what your CC company has on file. Call them and see what they have for you...
