Don't Overlook Amazon For Gun Stuff !
« on: October 15, 2014, 06:32:12 PM »
I needed a front sight adjustment tool for my AK-47's. The type I wanted was made by Tapco Interfuse, and it looks like a small C-Clamp with a hole in the solid jaw for letting the pin drift through. It also has a wrench that looks like a cap and ball nipple wrench on the end of the screw for moving the front sight post up and down for elevation.

Cabela's was out of them, so I ordered from Amazon.com early yesterday morning. To my surprise it shipped with tracking information in about 2 hours! It just was delivered in my mailbox minutes ago, just 31 hours after I placed the order! Fantastic service. I didn't think about Amazon for gun stuff. I sure will now. They have everything. If you just Google what your looking for, it will pop up on Amazon. No wonder Jeff Bezos is a billionaire!

I will order from Amazon if their price is near competitive....and ou can't beat the service..

I haven't ordered any gun parts from t hem, but I was pleased to see them offering a wide range of products

Hi;

    When it coms to Mosin and type 53 sight adjusters, there is a person in MO, that makes tools for adjusting the front sights when a hammer and screwdriver will not work.....

I've bought a lot of gun parts from Amazon. Spring kits, risers, sights, and quad rails for my AR...... all at much lower prices.


Amazon is my go-to place for everything from brake pads and shocks to mower belts and dryer elements.

Yep.
The spring kits and some other parts for my Glocks have mostly been from Amazon.
Since Mrs. Kmitch has A-prime, most of the shipping is free too.

Sometimes they are amazing, but lately I haven't been impressed.  I ordered 3 t-shirts in what appeared to be a single store, but they came from different places and took 2 weeks to get all 3.  Nothing custom, just stock logo shirts.


But point is they are generally a good resource for a lot of things.  The wife and I have held off on the "prime" account because we'd feel tempted to buy too much stuff.

What exactly does the "Prime Account" consist of?

It costs some money ($75?) to get it and then items that qualify ship for free or shipping upgrade is free.
There are some other perks that I've heard of but was told while the TV was on and I didn't care to listen.

If you don't shop a lot on Amazon it wouldn't be worth it. (NOT my wife)
If you do, then it can save you some money while you spend all your money. (My wife)

I don't do the Prime, but last holiday season I went with the Amazon credit card and set it up as the go-to purchase card for my Amazon account....then every purchase builds points that can be applied on future purchases.
They upped the purchase amount required from $25 to $35 to get free shipping on items stocked by Amazon, but that hasn't hurt much, because I usually order more than that anyway.
