Rem Firearms Store

I was doing a search for a Remington 300 blackout barrel and this site popped up. The name has me suspicious, but I thought maybe it's something to do with their acquisition by the new owner.

Does anyone have any helpful input?

One site says it only takes zelle or bitcoin. That is suspicious as are the prices.

HELL NO...

If they (any site) does not offer CC payment... run away.


If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

LOTS OF THESE FAKE SITES OUT THERE... Milwaukee, Makita tools... lots of them.

The scam detector is one method, but not 100%.

Non CC is a dead giveaway.

See Ric's warning... https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/ubbthreads.php/forums/14/1/Free_Classifieds

"VENMO, ZELLE, PAYPAL (especially F&F (friends and family)), and other instant payment methods offer NO or VERY LITTLE RECOURSE for buyers. Postal Money Orders are overrated and not much better. THINK TWICE before doing business with a seller who insists on one of these types of payments. Consider writing PERSONAL CHECKS or funding through a CREDIT CARD that offers you recourse as a buyer."

He was talking about here, but the same is true for the WWW

Thanks, guys. As soon as I saw the name, the prices and availability, a flag went up in head.


I appreciate the input.

100% SCAM.

It's gotten to where I only order from sites that have been active for a long time. Even then, I attempt to order over the phone instead of online. Not a cure all, but talking to a person gives you a better feel of the company.
I also attempt to shop "brick & mortar" first. Much easier to check quality and make returns.
