Primary arms 3x prism scope w/ACSS reticle and ISO tabs for my charging handle pretty much an extension.  Was going to order directly from PA but they didn’t have the tabs I wanted so I went with OP.

FYI - if you ordered the Primary Arms 3x32 Gen III Compact Prism Scope 5.56 version the website lists it as "Extended backorder - unknown ETA".

The trick with OP is to look under the 'Add to Cart' button - it will list the item as In Stock, Est. Shipping time, or Backorder. Occasionally the In Stock status is incorrect - after learning this I resorted to emailing them ton confirm. In Stock items ship super quick. I've gotten things as quick as 4 days. Stay away from the Value Shipping method.

Another tip - the coupon code 'HONEY' will give you 5% off everything. I've used this code about 6x since June and it still works.

That's pretty much how it's been going down. You both get on the site at the same time. It's not 100  %. Some guys got scooped even when they was on the sight same time.

Right, thought I was missing something. Than IMO it's not totally unreasonable to have both parties present for a 100% garans swap. Otherwise any shmo can go down and claim to have swapped and steal your time.

I have the bravo version with the better mag adapter and 15-22 mags.

Runs good? Do you shoot 223/556 after to clear out any gunk?

What version adapter you guys using (Bravo, Echo, India)? I managed to find a used Echo on GB a couple weeks ago. It's the stainless collar version. Came with the charging handle and forward assist insert. I also bought the better-mag adapter to use with the S&W 15-22 mags as I have a few of them already. Any experience w/o using the extra accessories and/or any feeding issues using the CMMG mags?

Scammers are everywhere - Amazon, Ebay, GB, AL, even some legit looking retail websites seem a bit sus these days. I only just recently made my first purchase off Armslist a couple weeks ago - an AR lower that's been next to impossible to get directly or 3rd party retailers. Seller turned out to be great in service/communication/pricing. Only bummer was shipping cost, but that's not a knock on him, just the reality of where we live. Shipped to my FFL no problem.

If GB/AL is the only option - I usually search them up to see if sellers have a credible website/social media/reviews etc. Depending on the type/value of the item, I tend to almost always stick to online retailers with zero negative reviews. If their online presence sorta checks out, I'll reach out to them via the contact form. I then determine their credibility by the timeliness and quality of their response. Still always a risk though.

The one thing that I've been finding is that a ton of online retailers will list a product in stock, but they're really back-orders and they'll hold your money for weeks/months waiting for the item. Or they're drop-shippers that rely on distributors to ship, but aren't always current on stock levels and again end up waiting weeks/months for distributor to ship. I always email them to confirm if items are actually in stock/ready to ship or back-orders.

As always, if something looks too good to be true...
