I have never dealt with them...... because of a LOT of reported problems. And the owner USED to be a member here and consistently showed his ass. |

I bought an upper from them once and had no problems. I have seen others complain about them but my experience was good.

I've bought parts from them in the past. Went pretty smooth for me.

I have spent plenty of money there, and never had any problems.
However, I should mention that I have done all of my business in the store, and the horror stories that I've seen on the internet all deal with mail order situations. |

I asked the owner to explain a simple claim they made, he dodged, insulted, and avoided answering the question (because his claims were false) and sent profanity and insults to me via IM.
He had a long past on here of juvenile behavior, insults, and barely literate posts. Go to the archive server and search for RGUNS in subject and rogernut or KMA as reply authors. Go back to early 2002 or late 2001. If you still wish to spend your money there then go right ahead.... some people were warned a hurricane was coming and stayed in NOLA too................ Oh, and the owner has a felony conviction for impersonating a LEO. |

Aren't there TWO "rguns"? One is good, the other is unbelievably bad. He writes scathing, cursing emails to any customer that asks whether their stuff is, etc. I can't remember which one is the good one! I don't think the "bad" rguns actually had a real storefront.

i got a couple lowers from them. They were kind of short, and unfriendly sounding on the phone, but everythng was fine with the order. I'd order from them again if they had something I really wanted.

I bought an upper from them in 1999. No problems and it was a decent price at the time.

The "bad" Rguns is the one in Illinois, but if you ask anyone local, they aren't bad at all. I don't know of anyone that has ever had a problem with them in a face to face deal. When I bought my Glock 19 there right after the ban, they even traded me two LE/MIL only hi caps for the 10 rounders that came with the gun, no charge. |

thjis begs the question, why would Krebs deal with them then? Krebs has a great name, Rguns apparently does not.... what's the deal here?

I just wrote an email to Krebs asking them, they've been up front with me before, I'll report back with the reply. Told them straight out, I'm willing to lay out the cheese for a rifle, but not through Rguns and asked them why they would risk their great name to associsate with at best a questionable name...... |

I have resurrected my drjarhead acount as to use my my new handle would be disengenuous:
I believe this is a reference to me though considerable editorial freedom is taken in the way this is stated. As such, it is  Chargeback thru CC company. He whined like a girl to the CC Company through the entire escapade. A$$hole still refused to take the crap he was pushing back. Nor am I the only one. Not hardly. I have told my story at least a dozen times here so a search should turn it up, check the Archives if you are so inclined. I just avoid Roger, the convicted felon, like the plague. YMMV Good luck, you may need it. Oh, and Bob, get your story straight before you talk out your ass.

Not to mention Colt and DSA. Maybe the guy has someone who meets with them and perhaps they have never really met Mr. Crawl. |

the guy has a criminal record, posted repeatedly on here as both rguns and KMA (kiss my ass) posting barely intelligible posts full of profanity and insults, he sends horrid emails to people if they even ask a question he doesnt like, his customer service is horrible. etc etc.

I have been the recipient of several RGUNS "happy-grams"
Generally, they consist of 2 words, the first one beginning with F and consisting of 4 letters. And it started when I asked a question. Didn't state an opinion. ASKED A QUESTION.Can't say I'd care to do business with him. Don't know why Krebs would either. Krebs' stuff is EXCELLENT, OUTSTANDING, and AWESOME.

I've bought from them a couple different times, thought they were rude and un-friendly as hell, can't complain about the product or price though.
Probably won't deal with them again because of their attitude though. |

I think he had his dealership here pulled before his squabbles with DrJarhead, or he was already on the way out. The other "Rguns" store has (or at least had) a disclaimer that they were a different store not "the bad" "RGuns", so I don't think his problems here were isolated incidents. Some people seem to have luck with him, but there were lots of complaints while he was still here. I think EdSr bought stuff off him years ago and never had any problems. Sure has some good prices on some stuff. |

Got a reply from Krebs, it was very good. Had what I wanted to hear (wink wink) but don't want to post it till I get approval from them. They also want to hear abou thte horror stories re: Rguns. Anyone have some good links or archive links. An archive search of rguns doesn't yield too much.

GUN DEALER GUILTY OF IMPERSONATING COPS Chicago Tribune; Chicago, Ill.; Oct 17, 1997; Jerry Crimmins. A gun dealer who owns R Guns, 140 N. Western Ave., Carpentersville, pleaded guilty in Kane County Circuit Court this week to impersonating a police officer, said Jerry Singer, a spokesman for the Federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms. The charge is a felony and the gun dealer, Roger Lee Krahl, will lose his federal firearms license, said Singer. Judge James Doyle sentenced Krahl to 18 months' probation. Singer said Krahl, 33, of Algonquin, used letterheads from more than a dozen police departments to make it seem he was a police officer when he placed orders for assault weapons from manufacturers. Krahl used the letterheads to buy more than 100 assault weapons and accessories. Copyright Chicago Tribune Co. Oct 17, 1997 |

Rguns, now there's a name i haven't heard for awhile. i remember them posting someone personal info on one of the other boards years ago. it was quite a stink. they were a major PITA for me back when i tried to run the EE around 2001. for some reason i'm thinking they had ties to the aryan nation. i'm surprised that they are still in business. mmk

I dealt with them twice, both are "good experience", but that was just before the now sunset federal AW ban.
Ordered Glock 18 magazines plus some other stuff from them, did not receive package for 2 weeks, so I called them inquiring about my order. They said they have sent out the order the next day I ordered, but since it have been two weeks, they will be sending out a replacement order. A week later, I received two separate packages, same order, same shipping date. I called and fax them, telling them I received duplicated order, and need RMA number and instructions to return the extra order, and they did not return my phone call or order. I wind up with extra G-18 mags, oh well, I guess I am satisfy with that order. Shortly after the first order, I ordered several Colt M-16 mags from them, and again, did not receive the order for two weeks, so I called to inquire about my order. This time they admid, they put in the wrong address, and will be sending out a replacement order. A week later, I received both the replacement order and a UPS notification to pick up my previous order (the residence of the wrong address knows me, and they corrected the address), and I picked those up too. Called and fax them again concerning the double order, never receive a return call or fax, so I kept both orders. Lightning strike twice. |
