GunsAmerica is an a highly successful firearms sales site run by a fellow member of the tribes named Paul Shlomo Helinski [above right]. Helinski recently gave SHOT Show gun bloggers hell, basically running down the small(er) fry, claiming they’re not important enough for the gun makers to bother with. Needless to say, the gun bloggers returned the favor. TTAG remained above the fray. Ish. Until now . . .
During our little chin-wag this afternoon, Helinski dissed gun bloggers who “just fired-up WordPress last week and think they’re a big deal.” Yes, well, TTAG started two years ago. We’re a WordPress site.
And while we love sitting on top of the gun blogging Google analytics pie (heading for 1.65m monthly page views this very day), we know from whence we came: zero page views and zero unique visitors. We salute anyone with the guts and sticktoitiveness to start and maintain a firearms blog/website.
All blogs, big and small, have to earn their bones one post at a time. Frequently. For eternity. Thankfully, Helinski ceded that point, advising gun bloggers to STFU and get on with it (oxymoronically enough). Which is exactly what I’ll do.
Now, where was I? Oh yes, a scantily clad girl hawking an anti-aircraft shaped cigar tube. Rock on.
Mechanical function problem with 3 New Sig rifles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ry3zT-ftzCg
I sent sig this video along w/ the 3 new rifles and they were unable to fix them.
Is this happening to anyone else… If so how many before we have a class action?
I like the older sig rifles but the new ones are not as advertised. http://youtu.be/Ry3zT-ftzCg
I ordered from this site – two boxes of Federal .22 HP ammo. Dealer (specifically Mike’s Magazines) sent me the wrong ammo, rejected my order so I was unable to provide feedback, and after making several promises to ship the correct product and never following through, stopped answering my phone calls, voicemails or emails.
When I contacted the web administrator and used their website resources to flag him as a fraudulent dealer, I was unable to get them to respond or help, even though I was able to provide them with all of the email correspondence before he stopped communicating showing he admitted he sent the wrong merchandise, and that I was just asking for a refund or my correct order. Mike’s Magazines claims he was out of stock on what I wanted, even though he still to this day (this happened in July) shows it as available on the website.
BUYER BEWARE – Not everyone on the site is legit, and the website administrators do little, if anything, to protect visitors to their website!
