coastal firearm shop

[lancem]

Has anyone ever dealt with them? They look legit but don't take credit cards, just paypal and the like and they have a $180 minimum which seems strange. They have what I need but then that may be because they aren't legit.

Seems kind hokie they are supposed to be in Florida but ship from Missouri. Smells like a rat to me. Especially since they don't give a Fla address on the website just a dade county phone number.

Call the local police department and see what the desk Sergeant says. He'd probably render an opinion.

Yeah I'm really thinking hokie for sure. They have every kind of primer in stock and I checked a dozen or more powders, all in stock no matter what size container you want.

They don't have an address on the website so I would have no idea what local would be. I like that idea though.

Excellent advice!

Ask for their business license number and ffl info. Check the info with their county/city.

No address=no sale. Fold yer money and run.

It appears they do have an FFL https://www.guntrustdepot.com/FFL-Dealers/ViewDealer?id=79981 BUT they claim 400,000 SF warehouse????? I would not touch this one with a ten-foot pole. Payment method and everything is in stock screams SCAM.

A quick google search shows that address as a business complex with a total square footage of 14,775 sq feet, a far cry from what they claim. That address is also currently used by a plastering service, Mud Brothers Inc.

I would run far, far away….

They get a 48.5 out of 100, with 100 being the best.

I did a Google search of the phone number at the bottom of the home page. It gave an address in Dade City Fla which is Dow Arms which appears to be a gun repair shop.

Things ain't smellin' too good.

I should have mentioned, Dade City ain't on the coast. I do remember a storm event having visited there recently so maybe the shop was transplanted to the coast? Or part of the coast is in Dade City?

If it smells like a turd.....it's probably a turd.

And if it looks like a turd, tastes like a turd and feels like a turd it’s definitely a turd. That website is basically the same format as most of the scam firearm websites out there. If anyone thinks that looks legit they need to be more skeptical.

Everything in stock ... that ain't right ! Something smells .

FIRST RULE OF BUYING OFF THE INTERNET. AND THIS APPLIES TO EVERYTHING.
IF THE 'STORE' 'WEBSITE' DOES NOT TAKE CREDIT CARDS, THEY ARE A SCAM.
Heck Even I take credit cards. STOP with the searching for primers.
If you can't buy locally, and none of the top 5 online sellers have NONE for sale, anyone else is a liar or a scammer.

[725]

caveat emptor. (Buyer beware)

[Smoke4320]

Scam, location wrong, size of building wrong, phone number goes to different business. And everything in stock. Run do not let fraudsters get your money

This. All day, and twice on Sunday.

Anything and everything in Dade or Broward county that looks like a scam.....probably is exactly what it looks like.

Hey, Brownells just sent email. They have Aquila small pistol primers for only $85 a thousand, limit 2 thousand.

Their internet domain got created on 2022-05-16 and has an anonymous registration. The server is hidden behind Cloudflare, so you cannot even (easily) find out where they are hosting their website. Nothing indicative of being a 100% scam, but I would give it 99.99%.

There is a running list of scam gun sites on a different forum. I know that I am new here, and I know that there are rules about linking to other forums, so I will play it safe and not link it here. Perhaps an exception can be made?

If you Google "gun scam websites" it will be the top result. The current count is 635, and there is a checklist of red flags to look for.

Got it for ya!

Thanks, lancem. That wasn't the site I had in mind, but the one you provided seems to be even more exhaustive. It's a useful resource for sure!

Some of the product descriptions on the scam sites can be downright amusing. AI has come a long way in generating filler, but in such a technical subject as firearms, it often fails with hilarious results.

Dennis Kroh of Empire Arms is in Ormond Beach, Florida. Call him up and see if he knows anything.

Google maps or mapquest is your friend. Satellite the place and see what it looks like. From trucking experience i can tell you that there are precious few 400,000 sqft warehouses on the east coast under one company. That in itself is a giant nogo. Yes, after 30+ years ive been to a bunch from Key West to Houlton, ME
