Weeks slow, they took my order for an Uzi and it took me 3 weeks to get it.

Got a DSA StG58 from them and it was a great experience. Blaine answered all my questions and was very upfront with everything. Rifle arrived when he said it would and the price was damn good too.

Blaine has always been up front and the service has been good the times I had to deal with Atlantic. If there is a delay most likely its out of stock like he said.

I cant think of any other distributor that is as willing to communicate and provide good service.

Good experience here.
I bought 2 Vector AKs from them after the ban died and it took 6 weeks. As expected and I was told that up front.

I would deal with Blaine again with no hesitation.

I bought my 1919a4 back in March from Atlantic. The FFL dealer did not follow the instructions from Atlantic, but Blaine sifted through a large pile of postage and found the info. Had my 1919 in a week.Thanks Atlantic.

Good guy but when it comes to stuff like Vector firearms they are only as good as their suppliers.

I have bought 2 guns from them through Gunbroker.

Both were wonderful transactions. (A VEPR-II K and a Glock 26)

No complaints here.

Everybody is only as good as their suppliers, something we forget when we are on the customer's side of the counter sometimes.

Vector is a good supplier, they just can't build things fast enough to stay up with demand

+1 for Atlantic Firearms (though this thread probably belongs in the Feedback forum now).

I had a good experience ordering my Vector from them.

I've purchased several firearms and had some gunsmith work done and I think that they are the best shop I've been in (service wise) bar none.
Although the combined space of both the Rockville and Silver Springs locations are no where near the largest single store I've been in, the guys are the friendliest, polite, and most reliable FFL's I've EVER met.
They've helped me navigate Marland's gun laws

, have found me a special order piece through the mail, and refused to sell me a Glock until they could save me a bunch of cash by hooking me up with the Glock Rep at their sale a few weeks down the road (ever have a gun dealer talk you out of an immediate sale to sell you the same gun an a cheaper price a few weeks down the road?)
They are respectfull to the military and I refer all my troops to their store.
Plus they have that yeller dawg you can pet whilst looking at the knives in the display case.
