Patrick Sweeney has an excellent book out (2005) on the AR 15 and a chapter on magazine ratings. (What works, and what doesn't).

I'm not a poster boy for ammoman, but I've spent a few grand with him over the years, mostly for ammo. It was as advertized.

I had a 4 day defensive rifle class at "Front Sight" the beginning of April and I called ammoman to see if he could get a case of ammo sent to the hotel I was staying at in time (in 10 days). He was honest about when it would be shipped and he thought it would make it, but the timing was to close, and we both agreed it would still be "iffy."

I didn't read all the pages posted on the website you posted above, but what was obvious to me was the "SKS problem" was the only gripe I saw. I would think that there would have been more complaints if that was a reoccuring theme for ammoman. But the thread didn't seem to indicate that.

I only use ammoman when I can't find what I'm looking for locally.

I have 40 of the "Center" magazines coming from ammoman, (he cut the number you can order at any one time back to 5, after the first day). I'll post if they are not as advestized, if interested.

I had a "problem" with him the first (and only) time I ordered from him

There was a glitch on his website...I didn't order enough of something to get free shipping, but it still gave me free shipping

He simply canceled my order without telling me

When I called to ask when my order would ship he got fairly abusive, acted like I tried to pull a fast one somehow and made it pretty clear that I had not ordered enough to be worth his time and trouble.

Despite the fact that I never raised my voice or showed any emoition other than surprise at how he was reacting.

In my opinion it is more important how a vendor handles problems than how smoothly things run for simple transactions

All these...I never had a problem are less important than how they take care of problems.

At the time I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt...maybe he was just having a bad day.....but over time I have heard other reports of him treating customers like crrap.

to be 'fair'. I too have done business with ammoman in the past. I never had any problems. The puchasing history I have with him goes back to when things were done via email (before his website).

The linked thread above and the above posted comments shows a disturbing trend and "customer service".

I'm not telling anyone to not do business with ammoman, I'm only providing an insight as to the kind of business he runs.

You can make up your own mind.
