    Default Centerfire Systems?

    Not sure if this constitutes a "shop" since I cannot go there and buy in person. Any ever deal with Centerfire Systems for a sidearm purchase before? I was gonna order this RIA Commander from them.

    I've only purchased ammo from them, and not recently at that. No problems with that. There have been some complaints about their accessories( mags, pouches etc..) but I think the firearms are usually in good order.

    Thing is, you're not purchasing their product, it's made by Armscor in the Philippines. They have a good reputation as a producer of entry level 1911's and an EXCELLENT reputation for making good on any problems. They have a factory rep on m1911.org who is very quick to help out those with issues.

    The RIA pistols had some issues back when they first came out, but have been generating favorable reviews for some time now. I'm planning on buying one as soon as we dig out from the unemployment hole(back to work tomorrow-yeah me!)

    I have no experience with firearms from them, but I did, and do buy accessories and such from them with no issues whatsoever.

    They sent my SVD stock set for my PSL and even threw in some things I didn't order? Like an HK full cleaning kit? And some other small items they must have just had sitting around and felt like putting in my box? (That wasn't even on their site)

    Shipping was pretty timely and things were packed well to boot.

    So not a firearm, but definitely a good experience with them in general.

    Thanks for the positive feedback about Centerfire, it makes the decision easier knowing others had good experiences with them.

    i did have a bit of a problem with them. when i originally bought my psl it came with a battery powered scope that did not work. so i sent it back not know ing what i had. they kept returning me one non illuminated one after another. i guess i was not supposed to originally get that one with my rifle. i would still do business with them. they seem to throw pretty good deals from time to time. just check what you have first before sending it back.

    Bought wood furniture for my AK and a side rail mount for my AK from them. Everything arrived quickly and the stuff I bought works perfectly. I'm not sure you can beat the price of like $10 for a stock and lower handguard.

    Great to deal with. They threw in a nice cleaning kit for me. I would definately recommend. P.S I'm curious about them RIA/ Amscorps. It's hard to beat that price.

    I have had lots of good dealings with Centerfire. I had to return a stock set that didn't fit my CETME once and there was no hesitation in the refund either. I believe I got may SAIGA and a few other things from them.

    Last time I ordered from them not everything on their website was in stock. That was almost a year ago, so not sure if it changed. Also, I think they have 3% CC fee.

    That being said, their customer service is top notch. They are very responsive. They've rushed stuff out to me I needed, delayed shipments for days I wouldn't be home, fixed orders I messed up, you name it. I would just email them with availability before I buy (unless they've updated their website).
