Saw this on a local forum, interesting if true.

Haven't bought from those hucksters in years anyway. They used to have good prices but all they've got lately is price gouging and unscrupulous business practices.

His emails get a little annoying with the “I’m barely making any $$” comments, but I’ve found his prices to be good and shipping excellent.

One other thing they have is 7.5 Swiss. Seems to be the only place that dies anymore, so it's a rock/hard place dilemma on buying from them. What choice does a guy have otherwise. I can reload but even brass is hard to find, and nearly as expensive as loaded ammo when you do.

This is the guy who rubs his palms together whenever there's a scare he can accentuate.
The guy who cancelled orders for 7.62x39 and then relisted the ammo for higher prices.
The constant panicked doomsday "LAST PALLET WE FOUND IN THE BACK OF THE WAREHOUSE" nonsense.
IIRC he also sold literal crap bags of mixed corrosive/mystery ammo 7.62x39 someone swept up off the floor of an Eastern European warehouse for factory ammunition prices.

He's right up there with CheaperThanDirt as far as I'm concerned. He choses to be slimy and I choose to no give him any money.

The way this guy operates he'll tack on some sort of upcharge for shipping orders to Texas ala the Hyatt gun shop "assault weapons" fee or whatever it's called.

Interesting. That hasn't been my experience. I order probably 5-6k of 5.56 or 9mm from him a year and never an issue.

Like I said, the language on his emails is annoying, but I focus on the product and service and leave that be.

lousy situation for SGAmmo. If .gov did even a fraction of their job, the cartel straw purchasers could be shut down in a matter of days. Instead they likely do nothing leaving Gabbert and his business to figure out a solution although this issue should not be theirs to handle.
 
No one has touched him on 50 BMG prices and availability for things like AP. I don't know anything else about him.
 
5 orders last year and one so far this year all filled and expedited in timely manner!
Yes Sam cries and all but in the 6 plus years of business with him, not one issue and all orders are double boxed and well secured.

However ...PSA can shove a cactus up their 5 hole 🤮
One order was a sideshow and incomplete when arrived .... emailed them a few times and finally was resolved...
 
I dont think the cartel is ammo poor. They shouldnt need to order ammo and smuggle it from US to MX. As somone said they can just order it in LA or Chicago or Tucson or better yet, steal it. I dont think they are married to the Cuerno De Chivo either theyll shoot anything with a trigger. They need 50BMG? Yeah right look out puto. Maybe the govt is afraid of some kind of mai lai at the border.
 
I just ordered from them for the first time at Black Friday, BASED on reviews from Reddit and here (or so I thought) about cheap prices and being a good business and family owned. I certainly was satisfied.
 
I have never had a problem with them, but I do have their email sent directly to the spam folder.
 
Honestly, when I first saw the topic here I thought it was going to be about fear the locals are arming up to handle the invasion themselves.

I was following one of his 556 loads for a while, trying to decide if I wanted to buy a case. Refreshing the page 4 times a day would show the 'cases remaining' (or whatever the actual text is) would go down.... and then magically reset when it got down to the last few. Then go down, and reset again. So either he's receiving and restocking that particular ammo several times a day and only 15 cases at a time, or some scarcity marketing tactics are in play.

I'll admit to buying a lot of ammo from him over the years in spite of the tactics. Prices and delivery have always been good for me.
 
Considering the lawsuits against firearms companies and ammo retailers after mass shootings, I don’t blame them.

Basically, making legal sales opens them up to civil legal liability, that just doesn’t make sense, yet our legal system alllows it. If a federal agency is telling them this profile of orders are ending up in criminal hands, they’ll be sued for not acting. It’s a no-win situation for them IMO. Either they piss off customers or open themselves to civil liability.

Wonder where the dividing line is between "north" and "south" Texas? Shouldn't he stop selling to any state that borders Mexico "just to be safe"?

I know you’re being a bit facetious but I’ll give a more realistic answer.

Most e-commerce and shipping/logistics software are zip code based, so easy solution would be zip codes within counties that border Mexico. Maybe they have to go 2 counties deep in some areas.

I'm not necessarily being facetious. I'm taking the slippery slope to it's likely conclusion.

"We no longer ship to counties surrounding Mecklenberg due to a rise in drive by shootings".

It's hard to believe much of anything that particular guy says, but the takeaway from this if it is true is that " feds" are scaring a business out of shipping product to places based on things that can't be controlled.

Based on things the feds should have under control but choose not to, the border.

The way I read it is….

Dick’s took a political stand and pulled product across the board.


SG is saying, “the BS we’re forced to deal with from the feds is costing us a lot of time and headache. The sales aren’t worth it from a business perspective.”

We have had to deal with countless federal investigations

IOW, it’s similar to CVS, Macy’s and countless other companies pulling out of San Francisco. The juice isn’t worth the squeeze.

Eh? What's that all about? Just curious as to what you are referring to.


I tell ya, I have hesitated ordering from SG cuz they had so much stuff that I wanted, that no one else seems to have anymore, I thought it was bogus. As long as some of you vouch for them being legitimate, tho obviously not all of you agree, I may buy some stuff from them now.

Like there are at least a couple of you guys that have ordered and received stuff from them in the past couple of months?


As for the just like Dick's comparison, I would bet the feds are leaning on them, as opposed to Dick's doing it "for the sake of the children". Still not good, but somewhat understandable if one's livelihood is being threatened extra-judiciously.

In addition to charging $50 for a transfer fee, they instituted a $20ish " Brady fee" on handguns. It's a made up fee to fleece customers.

My bad, I thought it was "assault rifle" fee, it's actually a "Brady fee".

Hyatts is doodoo.

I ordered a case of 9mm and a case of 5.56 in the last couple weeks and received with no issues.
 
Thanks guys, bout to place an order now :) Before the impending South-North Carolina ban.

Ya know, due to the belief and fear that the SC reputation is thought to be contagious :)

Good points, never thought of it that way.

I have ordered over 1k rounds of various types of ammo over the past month. All excellent prices (compared to everything else currently) for what I ordered. I got all my shipment notifications within a day and free shipping. I get people's gripes, but a lot of that is what every company does.

Nothing from what I can see, but everyone jumped on them.

Dicks CEO is liberal FUDD puss. SG is just stopping specific calibers going to a very specific location because the time and energy spent fighting it with the gub is more costly than what they'd get from selling it.
