    Anyone purchased a C&R weapon from SOG? If so what kind of experience did you have with them? Just currious as I'm considering ordering a P1 from them.

    Yes, bought my CZ-82 and Polish TT-33 from them. No problems, although they're a bit on the slow side with order processing.

    I've gotten a Finnish M39 and a Czech vz24 from Southern Ohio Gun. They haven't done me wrong yet. Like erwos said, they can take a few days to process an order, especially if you requested a hand select. But the two rifles I got are in great shape, and they're not far away so shipping takes 2-3 days at the most.

    I've just made a purchase from them. my guns arrive today so I'll describe merchandise quality in another post but I can offer you this:

    1. They were willing to hand pick me a P1 with a hex pin support. AIM won't even guarantee you a hex pin. So that was a major plus.
    2. They were quick, courteous and informative with their emails.
    3. The prices you see on their site are cash prices, if you pay by credit card items cost slightly more than shown. Like 3-5% I think.
    4. They ship quickly but are slowish with sending our tracking. I just got my tracking yesterday and the guns arrive today. Order was placed on Tuesday.
    5. Shipping was very reasonable, they do second day on handguns and ground on long guns. Both are arriving on the same day for me.

    I've picked up quite a bit of stuff from SOG. Other reports here are true, in my experience. This is one vendor with whom the extra 10 buck for hand picking makes a big difference, as well as talking on the phone -- that has always produced excellent results for me.

    They screwed up a couple of orders for me, but promptly and graciously made things right. I think their shipping charges are a little high, and I'd like them to be more transparent ab out them as well... YMMV

    I have ordered a lot of firearms and ammo from them. Everything has been beyond expectations except for one rifle was kind of dumpy. They said no problem, just send it back we will refund your account.:thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

    3 C&R and 1 Cetme which I later discovered to have had the bolt ground down. Within 30 days I wanted to return it and it was handled professionally. No problems ever.

    I bought a Garand from them, last year sometime when they had them cheap.
    It looked like it was put away WET. When I pulled the action out of the wood the top of the barrel/Chamber was pitted. Not just a little but deep. I sent it back and received a refund no questions asked. I did have to eat shipping both ways.

    They are good, you can call and get a hold of someone human there. They are a little slow on processing orders because they physically process your CC I guess to check for errors or they just don't have a online CC Authorization system in place.

    I have purchased a few guns from them and had nothing but pleasant experiences. I even had to return a pistol that was mechanically fubar and they took it back and shipped me a better one without question. Buy with confidence.

    Received my P1 yesterday. It's in excelent condition, and it only took one week from when the order was placed, to when I received it. Next on my list is a M1 Carbine. :-)

    I just tried to buy a CZ82 from SOG and was told by a sales rep that it would not ship until I sent them a copy of my "hi -cap permit". I tried to explain that I though they were confusing Maryland with California, but the rep said she checked with her manager and she needed a hi-cap permit from me. Since I am not aware of any hi-cap permit in the state of Maryland, I can cancelled my order. Am I out of my mind here, or are they? It looks like you guys have had good results from them...:sad20:
