Thanks for the tip. Those pricks'll never see a penny from either me, or anyone I know. I hope MAC-V really sticks it to 'em!

Man , RGUNS are some wacked out people. Their posting of personal info of a customer was totally off base. An immediate boycott of them is called for. They need a swift kick in the you know what. Thanks for the heads up. We need to spread the word like wildfire .

What turds. Anyone up for a letter campaign to [email protected] ?
Wankers like this need to get it fast and hard, there is no excuse for such behavior. Reminds me of the type of lies told by Bob from American Sprit Arms. |

Yea I know these guys, They remind me of that picture of the guy with his head up his ass(I gotta get that pic) on another thread. I'll probably see them at the Kane County gun show St. Charles IL tomorrow. I think I,m gonna ask if they have any of that south african 223 left. to see what kind of rise it brings. Man you know he's steaming reading all that negative response. aint no way to repair the damage done

I actually have baught a DSA FAL from rguns. I don't doubt your complaints, but my service was pretty good.
Someone else had posted that they lived near rguns and that their storefront is full of white power stuff. All I know is that I found them on the web, saw a rifle I liked, baught it without a hitch. It does sound pretty brutal that they sent that nasty note with the retured ammo. Not real good P.R. Word travels fast online. |

If you really want to let them know how disgusted you are print out a single page flyer with at big graphic of R GUNS cirlced with a line through it and in bold type "I am boycotting R GUNS". Everytime they are at a gun show hand a them a copy. If you don't live in their area mail them one. Just think, if enough people do this IN PERSON they will probably shut down early and go home or most likely explode like bob and show the crowd what asses they truly are.

Paul:
thanks for the link to SGN.. i just e-mailed them: "do not renew my subscription if you have R-Guns' advertising"... I figure if SGN gets enough flak from subscribers, it may worry about losing significant subscription numbers; makes them less valuable to other advertisers and their ad $$$s. leaf |

If somebody in IL was to go to the Secretary of State's office, or perhaps make a call there, there is a name, number and address on the DBA and/or incorporation form.
If somebody was to post that information on this and other boards it would only be fair. |

HELP! Help us correct a mistaken identity problem!
The negative posts are about rguns.net, Carpentersville, Ill. We are the original rguns, rguns.com, Wolfe City, Texas. Sounds like someone got cheated, but not by us! Please help us remind everyone to be careful when we bash someone to get the exact name, since they copied ours and change the url extension to .net We're legitimate, family-owned, and in continuous operations in the same small town, under the same business name, with no known unsatisfied customers, since 1987 when we started. Thanks for your help! |

Rguns in IL should be avoided at all costs. I've been going around with them for nearly 3 years over a purchase and have a file an inch thick. They've actually threatened my wife-more than once if you can believe that. I considered filing a suit for harassment but I hate to stoop to their level. In a way, I wish they would come to my house and attempt ot carry out their threats. Man, would they get a surprise.

dizzy,
yeah, they threatened my wife. I still have all their letters in my file. How stupid can you be to put that kind of crap in writing. I wish I could scan their letters onto this forum so you guys could see them. At first they were helpful with trying to resolve the problem but after a they screwed it up a second time they decided that I must be lying to them and then it got nasty. I tried to be nice about it at first as I'm sure they get plenty of shit too. Eventually, a slug barrel and a buttstock became a bill for around 1200 bucks - they charged me about 100 dollars per hour for their "time". We went through our credit card company and they dropped their charges but the A-holes at Rguns send us nasty letters every 6 months or so with a higher bill and more threats. Its really a source of amusement at this point. We just file the next letter after showing it to our friends. They've refused to take the stuff back of course and at this point they ain't getting shit. If they ever decide to take me to court they are going to have one hell of a countersuit. |

I live about an hour from Carpentersville.
After I read the thread on the posting of the customer's address, I drove out there to look around (again). I had bought a case of Radway Green about 6 months ago, so I had been there before. I spoke to the same guy I have seen in there a couple of times. He is relatively personable, his prices are reasonable (for a stocking dealer). I did not mention the posting on the boards about the customer's information (which is definitely unconscionable). Contacting the customer's local PD (assuming it was not an idle threat) is also wrong--EXCEPT if the customer made direct threats (i.e.--"i'm gonna come smash your windows", etc.). I mentioned that I had seen his ad for the .223 South African ammo he had for sale. He said "yes, it is $75/810rds" and pulled up an open (obviously shipped and returned) box--so I think I saw the famous box. The ammo does have different headstamps. I did see some that I recongized as South African, some that had TZ (Israeli) headstamps. No Circle/Cross NATO marks in the box of 30 that I saw. Some very minor corrosion (spots, no green or pitting) on a few pieces of brass, some crud around a couple of primers (dirt/dust appearing) primers appeared to still have the military crimp on some of them, and some silver and some brass primers. It may be surplus ammo, but he did specifically tell me that it was "blasting" ammo, not to expect too much accuracy from it. I did not buy anything, and probably won't do so unless there is a good reason (the only one I can think of is if the customer made a definite threat or ripped him off--forged check, fake/stolen CC#, etc.) that he posted the information. I was tempted at $75 for 800 rds. of .223, but I went to GAT guns and bought a used Chipmunk rifle to teach my daughters to shoot. AFARR |

I ask that you refrain from further comment,as difficult as that maybe. I ask this now of you before it deteriorates into a flamefest,which I will not tolerate in the Equipment Exchange forums.thank you.mmk [/red] [b]I now feel I must after the flood of emails I've received add this: While I personally have never done business with this company,some who have feel that they received product that was less than satisfactory or not as described.It is up to you THE BUYER to make your own decision in this matter.mmk [/b] |
