Find myself wondering the same thing. Deal is decent but looking around shows they don't exactly have the greatest customer service.

I dealt with the owner a bit on a deal for a barrel and he wasn't exactly pleasant and thought rather highly of himself. It is a great deal though and I want one

Yeah I am pondering picking up another RC since the price is so good. Wanted to hear some feedback first though.

I ordered one online Sunday. Called Tuesday to see if they received my SOT's info. They answered the phone and had to retrieve the SOT's email from their spam box. The employee then said the person who completes the paperwork was at lunch and would email me the copy of the Form 3 which is supposedly filled out in 24 hrs from receiving the SOT's info.
I'll try to keep everyone posted about the next 24 hrs. I'm out to Sea now and Cell coverage is in/out. |

I actually just started a thread and wanted to try and pick up a socom for a good price. Here's my OP from the other thread. I'll just follow this one though.

I've placed three orders through them over the past two years. Only problem I ever had was an order for a set of ARMS scope rings. It took at least 6mos to ship and constant emailing back and forth. Finally called to cancel it and they said they were shipping it that day, which they did. My other two orders went through flawlessly. At the time, the ARMS rings were out of stock everywhere so I attribute it to that. Overall, I've been happy with them and will order from them again. |

I don't need or want someone's laziness to cost me an unneeded month or two |

I ordered a Surefire 556 can on the older deal from them. Took a bit for dealer to dealer (3 months) but every time I called they answered and were pleasant. When it was approved they sent it right to my dealer. All and all they were nice and helpful. I wouldn't hesitate if it's what you want

I placed an order was assured the can was in stock and told I'd have a copy of the form 3 the next day. 4 days later no submitted forms and no email replies. I'm gonna request a refund tomorrow. It's probably just another front operation where they sell items when they really don't have them in stock. Granted 800 for a socom is cheap but the process takes long enough never mind the dog and pony show

F3's can run the gamut for processing times. I jumped in on the legacy 212 can last year. While I was initially unhappy with the communication regarding my F3, it all worked out with no hiccups. I got an awesome can with mount for an amazing price. The wait was worth it. If I were in your shoes, I'd sit back and semi-forget about it until it hits your dealer for the F4. If I weren't tied into the legacy cans, I'd buy a couple of these. |

I ordered an RC when they went on sale. Sent an email asking for status and serial number of the can. Have yet to hear back. I am going to call them tomorrow. They were super nice when I first spoke on the phone asking if they could ship my SF3P out earlier and they didn't without hesitation. So I am not worried but I do want to make sure the F3 is sent timely so I don't wasn't time

I placed an order with them as well and I will have to check on the status of my form 3. When I called they stated they had hundreds of the SOCOMs instock, they probably bought out all the stock from surefire.

I just ordered last week. They charged me at the time of purchase. I also bought a surefire muzzle brake and it says it's on the way.
I haven't called to get a serial number or ask about the form 3 yet. Would you guys wait to do that since form 3's are taking a while or just call and see about getting the serial number for my particular can? |

I'm in the same boat. Ordered the can on 7/6. Few minutes after ordering, I sent them copies of my dealer's info.
I've put in 3 emails now with no response. I just want to know if they got the info and if the f3 has been submitted. |

Going on six weeks since I ordered. Emailed two days after I placed order to ask if they received dealers info responded back quickly. Since then all communication has been non existent. Credit card has not been charged per their website when they file the form three. Pretty unimpressed

I just got off the phone with them.
Order placed 7/13 They said there was an error on my card and that they never sent the form off because of this. Well that's funny considering my card was charged 2.5 weeks ago!! She said that she did see that was true and not sure what caused the error. Said the F3 would be submitted today. Wouldn't give me the serial number though which I thought was odd. Said they don't want people to start form 4's until approval of form 3. A phone call or reply to email would have been lovely so we could have resolved this a few weeks back. Oh well I guess. Getting a good price Crossing my fingers it actually gets sent today!! |

Using AMEX is always a good plan! They have helped me out on so many issues over the years! I think we will be just fine in the long run.

Girl who answered the phone said her boss will not give out serial #'s stating people try to file the form 4 before the form 3 is submitted. This will make #14 suppressor for me and I have never had that problem. I'll have my C3dealed get a copy of the F3 ASAP.

I got fucked on a suppressor deal where the manufacturer went bankrupt and sent my SOT a gutless tube after 13 months from my purchase date. No form 3 in 45 days, demand a refund (check with your card provided about back charge date limits) . No refund, CC backcharge and be done with it. I just went to the SOT today and chopped up my gutless tube with a portaband to remove it from his books. Patience is fine if the wheels are rolling, no replies and no paperwork trial = getting ripped off. |
