Friend's M1 Garand next: The rifle was around 600-700 4-5 year's ago as well and it was complete but it was all shot out. That was not the big problem as they nearly took 3 months shipping it to his FFL after he sent and paid his money. A guy in our ww2 reenactment unit actually cornered me asking if this place was a scam as I recommend this place (which I really shouldn't of but everyone deserves a second chance) about what was going on. He sent all his FFL information and the place which would transfer the gun never got anything from them until 4 months and several calls did it come.
I've had two experiences with Hunters Lodge Corp. and both have been positive, well almost. Several years ago I purchased an antique Spanish Mauser and it was shipped to my home without a hitch. Just this year, in April to be exact, I sent them a check for an antique Peruvian Mauser. I waited and waited for my rifle to arrive and nothing. I started calling and emailing to inquire about my rifle and every time I was given a different answer. After numerous calls and emails I finally told them I'm a retired cop who had no problem taking legal action if I didn't receive my rifle or my money back. Well, my rifle arrived yesterday and I could not be more delighted with it. The rifle's wood is beautiful and most of the metal has strong bluing. They explained to me that they were back-ordered on other items. I'm happy with my Mauser and willing to give Hunters Lodge a fair shake.
This is a very late review for two items which one was purchased by myself (c96 Mauser Broomhandle) and the other was a friend's purchase (M1 rifle). The C96 was advertised as only missing small parts but when I received it the frame, barrel/slide, stripped bolt, along with the horrible shot out barrel and deep pitting everywhere. I think it was 450$ 5 year's ago but for something like what was sent was worth maybe 200$ at best.
Ordered what was advertised as surplus ROK M3 knife in good condition .What was shipped is obvious newly made cheap Chinese knockoff that might survive cutting open a tin can. Not a fighting knife that a soldier would use
After reading some of the reviews, I was nervous about placing an order, but I'm glad I did. I sent them a check and two weeks later received a well-padded, nicely packaged rifle stock. No complaints at all, and I will be doing business with them in the future.
A very shady business that sells fake stuff made in China as actual military surplus. Can never see actual pics of items before you buy. Returning items is a scam in itself. Never, never do business with these guys.
Now I'm reading other comments about this place, two seem to be just like what both myself and my friend had. I will never recommend this place to anyone as it's just one giant place which sells the bottom of he barrel hulks that they strip every useful part to sell you separately.
