Got this flyer in the mail yesterday and found some items of interest now for the most important part. Anybody have any dealings with this outfit good or bad let's hear them. Thanks

I have ordered from them. They ship and send what you ordered. if you have a question for them, they have their own forum at ak-47.net.

The only real drawback to them is that I am used to ordering weapons using my own credit card and having the item sent to my local FFL to do the paperwork. The last time I called them, I was informed that the FFL had to place the order. So know I just order from someone else like Classic arms, Aims, or one of the other suppliers.

Here is their web site.

I called them with a list of eight items AR parts, upper,complete lower, and striped lower etc. I was told none of the parts were in stock and should be there in two to three weeks. I called back in three weeks and was told the same no stock try again in two or three weeks.

I never called again.

Their flyer is packed full of interesting looking items.

However, in my experience, FAC is the type of company that ships half your order, keeps ALL the shipping fee, and won't refund the money for items they don't have without a big hassle.

I have dealt with FAC on many occassions and found them to be a good company overall to deal with. They offer some great prices on stuff but a lot of it is on continual back order. If they tell you a few weeks it will probably be a few months. I just picked up some Oly lowers last night that I ordered in the first week of Feb. If you don't need something right away and want to save a few bucks they are usually the place to go. If you need it right away then spend the extra couple of bucks and purchase it from another company.

Their misc type charges are way to much. Seems like they have 5 or 6 charges, where they really ding you. It's their business, but because of the little extra fees they add on, they get very little business from me.

I ordered from them, but it has to be $15 cheaper than anywhere else.

If you MUST deal with FAC, ask for Harlan. Decent guy. He also posts at FAL files so you need not enter the evil empire of HoDungRant (AK47.net).

Beware that they are bottom of the pile as far as quality. Used stuff is rated at VERY top of what it is. Shipping can be slow and VERY expensive. Backorders are very common and dleays can be very long.

They DO get some neat stuff though!

FAC? If you have a problem you are phoeqed!
Customer service is an alien concept there.

I ordered 2 Imbel FAL recievers over the phone with Harlan, he verified it was o'k with my FFL dealer, then called back and confirmed with me. Got 2 recivers 5 days later with consecutive serial numbers.
