Ammo Bros Warning

[justinLB]

My friend came over the other day with his brand new Stag 2H-T he had just purchased from Ammo Bros. When I start to look at it I notice it has NO rear sight! The spot where the rear sight was supposed to be mounted had a couple scuff marks, we could clearly see that the sight was mounted at the factory and then removed by Ammo Bros.

I also have a 2H-T upper but I ordered it online, so I know it comes with a flip-up rear sight and ergo foreend grips, Ammo Bros took them both off! When my friend called them they said "What? You didn't get a rear sight? Well come back in and well give you one." When we went to pick it up I had a look at their Stag uppers and they had removed the rear sight from every single upper!

They are relying on people's ignorance and taking off the rear sight and then reselling them for $100 bucks!

are the uppers behind the counter or at a place people can foldle withit? they might be sacred people can esily remove it and steal it?

How are the prices?
They should be cheaper without the sight.

I sell Stag uppers without the sight, or with the sight depending on what the customer wants.
If a guy is doing an "optics only" build, I don't sell him a sight he does not need.

i remember that "selling free locks" thread.

we need a "shinanigins list". a list of guns shops and what stuff they have pulled. posts are able to be edited so keeping a fresh up to date list should be easy. and if the stories turn out untrue then its just as easy to edit that too.

maybe have a confirmed category, a rumor category ect.

Have you contacted Ammo Bros to resolve the situation? What was their response? I think it's a bit premature to be posting this complaint online. This is second hand information at best, and there are some obvious problems with your post, which BTW, conflicts with what I know personally of ammo bros, they are good people.

Until I hear something more convincing,

I am sure it is a mis-understanding or an oversight on their part..

If they had a reputation or frequency of doing this, I am sure many more would have reported something similar.

Btw, they usually have 5-6 uppers on the counter for people to check out, and when it gets busy in there, it is not easy to keep an eye of 3 or 4 guys fondling the uppers, so I would also remove the rear sight if I were them, since some scumbag can possibly remove the sight and end up costing the store extra $$ to replace it..

Ammo Bros. is a great shop, and I have been there a few times, and every time I have dealt with them they have never messed around with me on a deal, in fact I got some discounts from them before at the register without asking for it when I was buying a bunch of stuff...

If you know what you are looking for & did your homework, you'd have notice that the BUIS was missing. 2 things you can do. Ask for it or negotiate for a lower price.

This is no way is a comment on what might have really happened, but I can tell you that you don't accidently take the rear sights off of your 2HT and 2H models. It would take time and effort to remove them since they come installed.

Second, the last thing I am worried about in my shop is handing a guy and him busting out a screw driver and removing the rear sight off the the rifle I just handed him. My store gets busy and sometimes I take my eyes off of guys when we are packed, but the odds of someone taking the rear sight off and me not noticing when the firearm gets handed back are pretty darn slim. Not to mention if my store is full, someone else who likes me is going to probably notice and tell me, "Hey Wes, are you giving that guy who just busted out his screwdriver, removed that ARMS #40, and slipped it in his pocket?"

As Randall pointed out, it is possible they discounted the price to do that and that information is missing from this story.

I will be there tomorrow afternoon for a pick up but they are always stand up guys. 10 days ago when I went to dros my off list lower and a double star there was a stag 2h on the desk for $479 with no rear sight. I am not sure what the guy paid or what the current price of stag 2Hs are but that is what the sticker said. I am pretty sure it was a 2H. Like I said I'll be there tomorrow so I'll double check. I would also have your friend take tell you what he paid because if it was reduced price due to no rear sight then what's the problem?

Also last time I was there they ad no ARMS sights in the case, just MI rear sights and some off brand gun show sight.

I would like to hear Ammo Bros side of the story.

If you read some of the other threads about Ammo Bros you will notice there have been some less than straight forward dealings that a few folks have had with Dustin and company, myself included.

I'm not ready to condemn Ammo Bros over this incident yet, lets hear what they have to say first.

There you go.
List price WITH an ARMS #40 is $525.
Take the sight off and sell it for $479.

I usually sell them for about $460 without the sight.

I think first we need to see what JustinLB's friend paid for the upper. Like I said if it was discounted then what is the problem? No need to hear Ammo Bros side of the story.
