Shorted from LAX AMMO......

[kcjr1125]

Don't worry, they were just leaving out the gun-kabooming, arm-maiming rounds that are normally included in every box. The rest should be good to go!

Seriously, how many guns have been destroyed by LAX ammo?

ive never heard of this?! i have about 250 rounds of 357 i bought from them at the last show to shoot out of my GP100! should i shoot them or just throw them away now?

All good points. Im done with LAX ammo at this point. Time to switch to Freedom.

Freedom is where its at! Great company and wonderful customer support!

Do you have proof of this allegation? Its pretty serious for a yuk yuk comment.

When a company gets caught shorting ng a customer, they might have to take a bit of a profit loss delivering to you the product that you actually purchased. If you want the ammo you paid them for, tell them to send it to you.

If they can't count, they shouldn't be advertising an actual quantity on their bulk ammo sales. They should just sell it by weight. 933/1,000 is a pretty significant miss.

Yes it is. You would think they would take care of a customer and not want this to get out

Guess not

I talked to a few people using FM ammo at the Prado IDPA match this weekend. Nothing but good things to say about FM. I told them about my LAX ammo experience I got back. They are still cheating people......

Still no reply back from LAX.....

Here's a start. If you want more, just google "LAX kaboom" and variations of that concept. I never went out looking for this info before, just came across it so often in casual reading, and the name involved was always "LAX."
Its almost always a case failure, and its debated whether its an overcharged round or just fatigued brass. You can shoot thousands of rounds that fire fine, but eventually you or someone near you is going to experience this.

I avoid commercial reloads in general. The only exception I would make is ammo that was reloaded from once fired cases from either military bases or police ranges so that you have a reasonable chance that they are indeed once-fired.

I bought some ammo from LAX a few years ago. I ended up counting and putting the 500 9mm rounds I got into used ammo boxes. I had all 500 but out of the back I had 3 with some pretty questionable cases, a few with lose bullet and one with a very bad split in the case, like it was a good 2/3rds down the case. After seeing the large split in that case, I've always stayed away from them.

LAX AMMO is going to send me a check to cover the cost of the missing rounds

That's good to hear. Too bad you had to go through that hassle to get your money back though.

I'd wager some of it "falls off the truck" so to speak and ends up used or sold by their employees. But why wasn't the owner that concerned?

I received a check today from LAX AMMO for a whole $14.74

I was going to hit the gun show in Costa Mesa tomorrow. Specifically for the man can of 1500 9mm. I've bought one at every show for the last year. And now I'm cringing at the thought of being shorted.

Complete Bravo Sierra that they sent you a check. If they were even half the business they think they are, they would've sent you a hundred or so rounds for the trouble and a coupon for some free ammo or a steep discount at their next show. And they would've done this after the FIRST phone call to them. Instead, they lose a customer and a ton more that read and hear about this, over $14.74. Genius, sheer genius.

I think LAX Range gets a little cocky because they are one of relatively few shooting ranges in that area. They figure they can basically charge as much as they want, and deliver poor customer service, and if you don't like it then too bad you'll have to drive an extra 30-45 minutes to get to the next shooting range.

I don't buy their reloaded ammo.
