I don't know if there is already a thread for this. But what website do you guys go for part shopping.
I use
Brownells and primary arms.
What do y'all use?

The correct answer is, each and every retailer that supports this forum.

I use them all. I chase good deals. Even ebay. That said, I use the 2 you use, optics planet, palmetto state armory, midway, arms unlimited, I bought some triggers directly from Larue and a couple handguards directly from stngr. I have about 70 shortcuts/bookmarks in my "gunstuff" folder. It includes retailers and manufacturers. If I do a search for firearm related stuff, I add the shortcut.

Good luck, however you manage your stuff.

So they are good to go? That is a relief.

JSE Surplus, Mas Defense, and random eBay sellers shipped before they did so far.

$80 for a tool craft bcg/aero charging handle was a good deal, can't really complain.

They have always shipped quickly for me.  Can't say the same for PSA, took 16 days to get a stripped lower from them but UPS shared in that debacle.

I have had good luck with Citizen Armory in as far as they will (or have in the past) ship small parts for the price of a stamp.

But I wonder, just because it's a left-handed BFL, is this not a copy right violation?  https://www.citizenarmory.net/

Mostly Brownells, sometimes Specialized Armament and G&R Tactical.
Link Posted: 1/11/2019 11:56:11 PM EDT
[#16]
Primary Arms
Aim Surplus
DSG Arms
Granite Ridge Outfitters
Arm or Ally
Right To Bear
Mas Defense
Brownells
Ghost Firearms/Grid Defense
Alpha Shooting Sports
Joe Bob Outfitters
AR15 Discounts
Apoc Armory
Palmetto State Armory

All of these have treated me well.  They have been quick to respond to questions.  Several have had truly impressive customer service and shipping speed.

This. I buy over 90% of my parts new and used from the EE. Simply the cheapest way to go, not to mention you sometimes learn a bit from the people you buy from and you make some buds along the way too.

Lanbos armory and manventure outpost have some very good prices on things that they stock. I typically find the UPC on optics planet or midway and then search gun.deals to see where it is available the cheapest. Shipping can throw that off.

Seems as though citizenarmory.net is out of stock on the few things they sell, with the exception of a set of mbus in OD green.  ??

Brownell's for all I can. If they are out of stock or don't carry an item, I just pick it up where I have to.

I've been avoiding Midway for the past year since they are obsessed with and push the Political Party of the NRA.

Their new website now allows "coupon stacking".

I've placed at least a half-dozen orders with them ranging from $9 small items to expensive barrels and they are definitely GTG.

I've ordered stuff on Saturday morning and had it in hand mid-day Monday. That's Bakersfield CA to SC in 36 hours.

Primary Arms
Palmetto State
White Oak Armament  - for small parts
Aim Surplus
Right to Bear

Midway USA
Brownell's

I buy for quality of parts/lowest cost/shipping.

Each vendor has their own merit.  Some offer Discounts/Free Shipping often.

It pays to pay attention to their weekly emails and discounts.

The gundeals subreddit is a pretty handy aggregator of most of the sites above when they have sales - https://www.reddit.com/r/gundeals/

The CS @ PSA can be dochey at times, but nothing major.  They did ship out a bunch of Romeo5 RDS that were missing one of the two mounts (Sig fault). While Sig did say they would ship me the mount when available, PSA did give me a $30 gift certificate for the inconvenience.

My first order from MAS Defense included an upper vice block with two halves that didn't even mate to themselves correctly, let alone with a lower in it and the lower AND the lower receiver block was kinda cheesy ... but they addressed the issue ASAP by refunding the entire cost of the upper vice block AND half the cost of the lower (was still usable).  Great CS and I have ordered from them since.
