People buying guns from locked and loaded have a right to know what they are getting in for. Many people have been having bad experiences with them recently.

Beware locked and loaded located in Illinois. I ordered a Springfield Alpha from them on 4/10 at a good price based on an ad I saw on gundeals. I even posted it in a deals thread on a firearms forum where I am a member. I filled out my information including my credit card info (After reading their recent feedback and based on my experience with them I cancelled my credit card, I do not want them to have that information) and ffl information. I got an email back from customer support with an order #. All seemed well.

I did not hear anything after that. My wife gave them a few calls and basically after 2 days they said that they could not find the order and that I could order the gun again at a higher price. They said it did not matter that I had the order # and confirmation, there was nothing they could do.

Over the last couple of days I did what I should of done before ordering the gun, checked reviews on them. I found a lot of recent negative reviews about the companies online service from Google Reviews and Yelp. They are easy enough to look up.

I have done business with a lot of on-line firearm companies over the years. I use gundeals regularly and have had all positive experiences until now.. Locked and loaded is the only online company bad enough that I felt it worthwhile to warn others away.

In the end I am not out any money, (although I gave them my credit card information which in light of my experience was worrisome enough to me to cancel my card), but based on my experience and the experience of others I want to give people a heads up that this is not a good company to do business with. You may very well be wasting your time if you do business with them as I tried to do.

No you did not. Mine started double firing after roughly 100 rounds. It does it randomly but I cannot shoot more than 10 rounds without at least one double fire.
These triggers are unsafe and they are crap. I will not even sell mine since I don't want to be responsible for somebody injuring themselves.
I will wait for deal on CMC. I should have done it before I bought this junk. Buy once cry once.

3 weeks ago I bought 1 for $279.99. At $299.99 is not a bad deal at all. Just bought another one.

And if you get caught with one you could do 5-10 in federal pound you in the ass prison. Legal firearms must be serialized or they aren't legal.

An 80% receiver does not require a serial number, but as soon as you cut into that receiver and the body is anything but a solid block, it must be searialized to be sold, or to be assembled into a firearm, even for personal use. This is whether you're under NFA or just plain old GCA regs.
Please please please don't rely on anyone at ATF to advise you on what is legal and what isn't. If you ask the same question of 5 people at ATF you're likely to get at least 3 conflicting responses. Ever run across a cop who doesn't know a specific law? This is the same thing. Be careful and do your homework.

It is 100% dependent on your FFL. I have one that charges $20 per transfer. Whether it is 1 firearm or 5 firearms on that form, always a flat $20. Ask the FFLs around you for rates.

Just got mine in on 4-18 , ordered on 3-15 so roughly 5 weeks from order to hands. Its awesome though and worth the wait.

Yep I have a few gift cards sitting in a drawer. I'll probably just give them away as Christmas gifts. Cabela's prices suck, even with 20% off gift cards. Bass Pro and Cabela's---going the way of the dodo.

$700 for a Taurus, nope.

This is from earlier today on ar15.com:

Subd. 4.Saturday night special pistol. "Saturday night special pistol" means a pistol other than an antique firearm or a pistol for which the propelling force is carbon dioxide, air or other vapor, or children's pop guns or toys, having a frame, barrel, cylinder, slide or breechblock:

If I did it over again I would have gotten just the flashlight. I would get my own sights that I would like. I don’t think the thumb Guard is necessary at all.
