We'll see if this thread gains traction. Just a place to post deals that may be of interest to C&R junkies. I'll kick it off with some 9x18 mak ammo for 26 cents shipped. Free shipping with SH1097.

A couple people here ordered M39s from SOG (myself among them) and got some very nice rifles. The buzz on the Classic rifles was less than enthusiastic. I honestly can't believe they are selling them out that quickly at that price.

Well, I should have qualified that by saying if you complain enough with Classic, they will refund you with free return label. There are worst places... Only reason I know that is they are known for sending cracked stock hand picks. They hire blind people to do their hand picking. Got an sks from them with cracked stock. Took back for exchange. Sent me another then refused to exchange telling me my expectations were too high.. no, i just didnt want a cracked one. |

NO NO NO..
Hand picking at most places doesnt work like that. They dont do hand picking when they get your order. They go through a crate or pallet of guns (in this case likely fewer) ahead of putting them for sale. They separate out the standards from the exceptional ones (sometimes the exceptional ones just look better or are a specific year or manufacturer i.e. Tula mosins). Sure some places may do it differently, there is no doubt that the $150 markup just means they separated out a few that are better hopefully $150 better. I know for a fact that the procedure above is used at J&G and Aim. Maybe not classic or the places that are known for sending crap. Very likely this is how SOG is doing it.

I thought AIM's handpick was best of 5 they grab 5 out of the barrel and you get the best looking one. Originally Posted By djryan13:

Classic has said specifically that they look at the next 5 or 10 guns (whatever the number is) and send you the best of those 5 or 10. Not sayin others don't do it differently. Regardless, it matters how knowledgeable the guy doing the selection is about the guns he's picking through.

All of them describe it that way to make it easy for us to understand.. Perhaps, in essense that is what happens when they go through a crate. They handle all of them and take top 20% as hand pick (1 of 5). Just easier to describe as 1 of 5. Or maybe some say 1 of 10.. Or some just say "hand select".
Have you not noticed Aim or J&G or SOG always writing descriptions on the outside of the rifle box? That was written during the uncrating/sorting. Rifles come in crates normally. They sort and box a crate or so at a time. Call one of them and they will confirm what I am saying. Their shipping team is not part of the hand select (or rather doesnt have to be). Many people in their org will go help. Salespeople, customer service, etc... big uncrating party with no pizza or beer. Or maybe they will do it on slow days on the sales floor, "Sam, go sort a crate of SKS's". Most of the time you will get something like: "Tula HS" written outside box. They are not picking from a crate when they are about to ship. They need to know how many hand selects they got before they sell them. If they find any real gems, those go for more money for sale when they get enough. Any of you get lucky enough to buy an Aim "Select Grade"? I got one of their K31's.. Holy cow. That's how those guys do their job efficiently. I cant speak for all of them. I just like to get to know people I buy from so have made a point to talk to them and ask questions. Nosy I guess. Unlike Classic who dont care if they oversell HS, they will send you junk anyway. I actually have no idea how they do it. I dont really care either. |

I have talked on phone with them. That is how one of the managers at J&G described it to me when I asked him for details. I have always been happy with their service and hand selects and have NO reason to think he lied to me. If you know different or have more substantial evidence of the contrary, why dont you post your detailed info here?

Considering I'm 3.8 miles from them and have seen their gunsmith specials and run of the mill stuff, they don't take premium and hike it up. It's either works and needs no TLC and sold normally, or something is wrong like a cracked stock, lots of rust, and is marked down accordingly as a gunsmith special.
Handpicking at J&G as a customer or getting them to do it, means looking at them and picking the best condition. You stated that they take premium stuff and hike it up. No, they do not. It's all sold the same except for the TLC items, because it needs lots of love to get back to something nice. Do you know who decides what is a gunsmith special and what isn't? Their full time gunsmiths that they hired from Yavapai. |

There is absolutely no way you could convince me that the SOG $150 fee was worth it. And, at this price point, I am sure that SOG has gone over EVERY single one of these pistols before hand, to determine their grade and value. We are not talking tens of thousands of $79 Mosin Nagants, coverned in cosmoline here! |
