RGuns: Never, Never Order From These Tools

[Mazin]

So outside of their hideous customer service and shipping, what about the product itself?

Just go through BCM and get way more for your money and way quicker.

I ask because I picked up a Rguns complete upper locally and wondered what the consensus is.

Products might be fine but I personally wouldn't own them. Just like a few other names I wouldn't own even if I bough them from the used market. I just won't represent the name of a shady company when there are so many good ones out there to support. I would be ashamed if someone asked me what upper was on my AR15 and I had to answer RGuns. That's just me though.

I can understand we all have our preferences, I was just hoping for a thoughtful critique of a product I don't know much about. I am happy I purchased it new, the gas key and A2 sight post are properly staked and the BCG seems to be proper mil-spec, at a very fair price. But until I put rounds through it and know more it always nice to hear someone say, "Yeah, they're good once you get them delivered." And it's nice to get it from a 'local' group that is in tune with the AR platform. Maybe I'll take more time and be more willing to part with my hard earned dollars for my next rifle, I do like to start small and see what I really want or need before shelling out Daniel Defense type money.

RGuns historically has been hit or miss. They have had some serious quality control issues in the mating of their upper and lowers, the coating being too thick, holes being slightly too small, or misaligned. They have worked on their quality control some, but I can spend an extra $15 somewhere else and get a product with a better track record I will.

That said I have 2 stripped Rock River lowers that I've used in builds which I am very happy with and a few years back they had some QA issues as well, though they have been rockstars since then.

4/17 - Ordered BCG
7/18 - Recieved UPS notification and CC charge
7/30 - Emailed RGuns stating UPS showed not receiving package yet and wondering if was missing.
7/30 - Got read receipt that they received my email
8/2 - Package arrived at UPS
8/7 - Package in my hands

So, got my stuff, and not particularly concerned about how long took to arrive. Never spoke w/ anyone or got an email, so can't categorize as "tools".

But, their communications leave something to be desired. A company email on the 18th along with UPS stating that " It will actually ship in approximately 2 weeks - please watch your tracking number" would have prevented me from having the neighbors on watch for the box while I was gone in late July.

So, hope the product is better than their comm skills.
