Buying online
« on: August 03, 2013, 05:53:07 PM »
Hello 2a members,
I'm currently in search of a rifle that is not found on the island (currently) and over priced on gunbroker or any other site, but I've manage to find a site that has it in stock. But unfortunately not sure how legit it is since none of my friends have used that site. It's a site called Knesekguns from KGI Global Distribution and they do send to 50 states. I just want to know if they are decent enough to trust.  Or warnings ordering from them. Any info will be fine.

Mahalo,

You should ask the local gun shops if they can get it in for you, that would guarantee you would get it.
Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

Ok, I'll ask a couple more shops since there are more on the island now, but I still want to know if anyone has used the site I mentioned. Or another decent website that sells firearms.

many many warnings about knesek guns on hkpro.com
listing items in stock and not having them available
do a search on hkpro and you'll see
some have had good luck with calling first and checking for sure, but many more complaints than luck

Hi,  I don't have firsthand experience with this company, but I did locate some very bad stories from people who felt ripped off by them.  From what I can tell, they sometimes add extra charges and accept orders for class 3 firearms without ensuring they can legally sell it to you (simply asking if you understand the restrictions and are qualified would be enough).  Then they keep a 45% cancellation fee for stopping an order they should have never accepted.  A small part of the blame rests with the customer for not researching the restrictions before ordering, but the company failing to verify he understood is just bad customer service, especially when the customer risks losing almost half of a $1500 order.

They have a FB page with lots of satisfied customers posting pics, but they could also be deleting negative posts to avoid the truth.  Not saying they are deleting posts, but it happens.

https://www.facebook.com/knesekguns

In a nutshell:  if you get the rifle for the price you expected, then the company is legit.  If something goes wrong, good luck getting them to fix it!  You may wind up spending more money than buying locally!

Just my impression of the posts I found on Google:

https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&sclient=psy-ab&q=ar15.com+knesek+guns&pbx=1&oq=ar15.com+knesek+guns&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&gs_sm=3&gs_upl=538l4491l0l5039l10l7l0l3l3l0l184l843l2.5l9l0&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&biw=1280&bih=606&cad=h

Hope that's helpful!

Kingkenoki, Macsak, and Moosed thanks for the quick reply. From what I'm seeing I think I'll steer away from that company and look locally again for the rifle. I'm pretty much sure the AR10 Super SASS(the rifle I forgot to mention earlier)  is a legal, but hard find gun for me as of this moment.

Oh, then I guess this won't bother you too much, since I don't think it's the SASS model....

It was Tweeted for sale at 9:46 Saturday morning, and Tweeted SOLD! at 9:54:

All the SASS rifles are hard to get.......Gunbroker is your best bet.

If there is a will, there is a way, especially if its something you want.
Such as Call in and purchase over the phone.

Anywho everyone is there for the same reasons, so everyone is pretty cool about the parking situation.  That's no excuse to not buy local.
