Question about a dealer

Honestly, I got the C&R to get the discount at Midway and Brownell's, but was thinking about picking up a Swedish Mauser and a SMLE.
Saw some at Salter's site and was just wondering if anyone had had any dealings with him.
 
I purchased an item from Salter about 3 years ago that, while pretty nice, was somewhat misrepresented. It wasn't bad enough for me to return the item, but, for the price I paid, it should have been a little better.

There is a guy not too far from me (Davey Joe) that has some nice, scarce SMLEs (including an SSA and South African issue Ishapore) for a lot less money on Gunbroker. I have bought from him in the past with my C&R and have always been satisfied. Try doing an "advanced search" on Gunbroker, selecting "seller," then "Davey Joe."
 
Joe Salter's is a class act. The most honest on-line deal I have ever dealt with. His guns are always what they are claimed to be, normally better than described.

This is a second generation family owned business. They normally carry more toward the collector grade stuff. I have purchased some fine early Colt revolvers from Joe.

Thanks, appreciate the positive comments as well.

Also, thanks for the link to Allans Armory.
Hadn't been there before, and he has some interesting stuff.
 
For the Swedish Mausers I strongly recommend Simpson Ltd. I've bought a M96 and M38 from them and the price was good, the rifles exactly as described...they actually look better in person than they do online. Also bought a K31(they have a ton of them) and an FN Mauser...same story. I would buy from them anytime.
 
poptopv8 ....He said send gun back for a refund, but, go through an FFL dealer again? and wait who knows how long for a refund? forget it. I think a refund of $100 or $75 would have been accepted but he said no. Think twice before buying.

Uh......you don't have to "go through an FFL dealer" to ship a gun.
You can ship rifles and shotguns yourself directly to Joe Salter via USPS.

He offered you a refund, yet you refuse his offer?:rolleyes:
