I'm going to purchase an XM15E2S, I plan on buying from aimsurplus.com because I live in Ohio. They also have a great price. Does anyone have any knowledge of their quality? There was a post on one of the other boards here where a guy received his rifle and it had brass markings on the brass deflector and a blemish in the finish on the lower receiver. Anyone done any dealings with aimsurplus?

I've bought 3 guns from AIM in the past 3 months. I haven't purchased any Bushys from them but I have been pleased with ALL of the other business I've done with them. Good people.

Brass markings on the deflector could be from the test firings. I bought one retail from a local Cincy FFL and it had a slight brass marking on it but the gun was NIB.

Aim is an AWESOME place.

I haven't bought a firearm from them yet, but I will be buying a Yugo M48a from them shortly.

I've bought boatloads of ammo from them though and I have not had ONE issue.

I recommend them.

They are one of the last places selling S. African battlepacks for less than $35 anymore.

All of my experience with AIM involves ordering ammo.  I have never had a problem.

I hate to be a fly in the ointment, but I'm 2 for 3 with them. My first two purchases went off without a hitch, C+R's delivered in as-advertised condition, as well as some ammo. Number three was an attempted purchase on a one-day sale that they were running. I sent in all required info (CC, etc. My C+R was already on file from a previous purchase). It was there on time. I got confirmation that my fax went through. Three weeks later, no guns. I called twice and got a different runaround from each person.
I initially ordered from them on good recommendations from folks over at Parallax's C+R website. It appears that I am the exception to the rule. Maybe I'm not living right...

I have bought .308 and 7.62x54r from AIM.  Both were delivered on time.  Both exactly as described.  I plan on placing another order for ammo next week.

I've bought bunches of ammo and several C&R rifles without a hitch.

Sometimes their shipping is a little erratic - it either shows up the next day or it comes in a week.  You can't set your watch by them like you can Brownells, Midway and Ammoman.

AIM is great, Finally got a decently priced, non-POS SKS rifle from these guys. Actually have two, an Albanian and a Yugo (got both when they had sales). Next time they have a sale I fear for the health of my wallet...

When I was on the phone with the lady from AIM ordering something, she told me that during their "SKS Blowout Sale" they shipped [b]700 rifles[/b] that week.
