Any opinions ... good or not so good dealings buying firearms from CDNN?

Thanks!

GTG

I've ordered guns and mags from them a couple of times .GTG .

The only problem I have with them is that they are in freaking TX. Grrrr....

This! Seems a lot of good places are here in TX

CDNN is good to go, have received all orders quickly, they are legit.

Ohhh! I think their new catalog just came out!

Time was when mentioning CDNN would result in a coded message in 24 parts...

Ehrmagerrd!

They used to be great for oddball mags back in the day. I've bought a lot of mags and a few guns from them over the years and never had a problem.

They end up with a lot of good firearms oddities at closeout prices. In past years I've bought a Ruger 77 in 6.5 Swede and one in 7mm Mauser from them. And a Winchester 70 Fwt in .22-250 with a BOSS tunable muzzle gizzy.

CDNN have always been straight - even by Midwest standards! Sometimes one can get an idea of the firearm market by noting what they are, and are not. selling. Lots of 40 caliber pistols.

Even so, they sometimes have real good deals.

I have bought a few guns and lots of mags. Before kenyan cretin caused the Great Stampede I used to ask for Seth.

They had those Police HK P7's. I bought a whole bunch from them at the time. I remember most were in the $300-400 range. Had those plumb slides that everyone was complaining about.

Now those same guns are going for a whole lot more!
People don't complain about the plumb slides now.

I remember that. They also had the 92FS Infinite Justice for sale. Foolishly passed on that too.

Bought two pistols from them, all good no issues

No problems with CDNN here. I don't like paying state tax, but I get great deals on stuff I can't find anywhere for what they sell it for, even with the tax.

Between them and Palmetto my bank account has been greatly reduced.
CDNN always good to go!

Business dealings are straight-ahead. My beef is their policies regarding the "unfriendly" states. First they wouldn't sell handguns to NY residents. I know our laws are weird, but if you're shipping to an FFL, what is there to worry about? The NY FFL has to take care of the permit paperwork BS.

The last straw was when I tried to buy a Chiappa M1 carbine clone in .22 and was told "We don't sell semi-auto rifles to NY residents." WTF? Nothing? No 10/22s, no Marlin 60s? Those are all perfectly legal here.

Talk about caving to the antis. With friends like that, who needs enemies?

I ordered an AR from CDNN after the Colorado magazine restriction law was passed, but before its effective date. Even though the law wasn’t in effect yet, the company wouldn’t ship the 30-round mag that was normally included in the package. I was annoyed, but I couldn’t really blame them.

Keep in mind that all it takes is for an Alpha Hotel attorney general to claim that a company violated the law and file suit or charges for them to suddenly become stuck with a very expensive defense. More than once some official has decided that the law doesn’t mean what it says and tried to make a name for himself by dragging someone into court over such issues. Even if the defendant wins in the end, what have they gained by the whole thing? A few extra sales?

Then there’s the whole “punish the state” thing. I’m legally exempt from the Colorado magazine capacity restriction, but many companies have an If we can’t sell to everyone there, we won’t sell to anyone there policy—which is something that many gun owners heartily approve of.

And in the end if a company believes it must hire a lawyer to determine whether it can legally sell this semiautomatic rifle, but not that semiautomatic rifle to someone in a particular state, and still run the risk of legal penalties, it’s probably going to just take the easy—and possibly less expensive—route.

If a law makes a company reluctant to do certain types of business, blame the law, not the company.

I've had plenty of dealings with them, both for firearms and accessories. They've always done right by me.
