View Full Version : BUYER BEWARE - www.riflesupply.com
BUYER BEWARE: "Rifle Supply" (www.riflesupply.com) sells used parts as new. I ordered six spare G48/43X OEM mag catches, paid their $15.51 shipping (!) and then proceeded to receive six mag catches that were obviously used and removed from existing pistols by someone who had no idea how to remove them with anything shy of what appears to be a Dremel tool. I contacted Rifle Supply and received a lukewarm response that simply said "oh, sorry, we found six that aren't as damaged if you want to swap". I indicated that yes, I'd like the less damaged ones only to have them go silent. So, if you order parts from www.riflesupply.com, this is what I received and may be indicative of what you are in for:

FWIW, the 43x mag catches are a royal PITA to remove. I fought my last one for quite sometime, before being able to capture it just right with a pick tool. I can go home and look at my OEM one, but I am sure it probably looks similar to those.
If these are the ones you bought (https://riflesupply.com/Glock-OEM-Mag-Catch-Glock-43x-48-Black-sp47558_p_2698.html), thats BS. Looking at that, they do not say anywhere that they are used. If you purchased with a CC, do a chargeback.

They have quite a few Google 1 star reviews. Thanks for the heads up!

still a pita to get the 43 & 43x mag release out. EVEN with the tier 1 HF tools
I messed up the other day and ordered a 43 slide/barrel instead of the 26 stuff I needed for a frame.
This company came up today.
I passed on this company and paid more elsewhere for the 43 frame because of this post.
Had 26 frame, accidentally ordered 43 stuff
Ordered correct 26 stuff
Had to finish problems. So ordered 43 frame
