Title: Jacks Black Rifle Shop
Post by: blackwolfe on March 21, 2009, 09:13:30 PM
Anybody here ever deal with Jacks Black Rifle Shop in Monaca, PA?  I have bought some things from him in the past through a firearms auction site where he had thousands of positive ratings, and usually 2-4 pages of items listed.  I have always had good service and prices but communication at times could have been better.  A few days ago I was surprised to see that he had nothing listed and much sudden negative feedback.  In the feedback there were references to him being hurt and a raid by the feds.  I don't think that Jack Michaluk had a FFL, but just sold AR parts.  The only firearm I saw listed there ever was one claimed to be his personal AR for sale.  If I remember correctly I think he did have some M-16 trigger groups and/or full auto bolt carriers listed at one time.  Just tring to find out what happened and have serched the net with little success.  Anyone know what happened?  This is all I could find. http://www.timesonline.com/articles/2009/03/13/news/police_fire/doc49b004dc02013782959483.txt

I just completed a sale with him through gunbroker - if by "just" you mean 3-4 weeks ago. Communication was an issue - I was this close to reporting him to GB for not responding after I won one of his auctions. Got that sorted out though, and everything went real fast after that - had the item about 4 days after I sent the MO.

Interesting tidbit - it was local cops doing the work of the US Attorney, not the BATFE that raided him. Keep us posted on any other articles that pop up. Thanks.
