joewitafro@hotmail.com 0 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 (edited) Just filed for tax returns and I'm going to have a free $500. Going to buy a S12 19" with that money and was curious who you all feel deserved your money (not sure how much profit they actually make on the sale, but yeah..) I've heard a lot of people talk highly of Carolina shooters supply but wanted opinions. Edited January 23, 2011 by joewitafro Quote Link to post Share on other sites
washburnizer 8 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I bought mine at Uncle Lees in Muhlenberg County, Ky! But...centerfiresystems.com budsgunshop. com gilbertsguns.com are good choices. Think only gilberts has any in stock, and it's the 24" barrel.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've heard a lot of people talk highly of Carolina shooters supply but wanted opinions. I hate to break it to you but that $500.00 wasn't free for anyone but uncle Sam. It was a free loan from you to them & now he's going to tax you again for giving it back to you. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

raleighsaiga 81 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 It was a free loan from you to them & now he's going to tax you again for giving it back to you. Tax refunds are free loans to the government, but you only get taxed on the income once. Taxes you pay are deducted from your taxable income, so the $500 of income used to overpay taxes is not taxed until you receive the refund. I wouldn't worry too much about the "free loan" part with today's interest rates. You might have missed out on about $3 of interest, assuming the overpayment was accumulated throughout the year.

YOT 3,743 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I got mine at Classicarms. That was before I knew there are board sponsors, or I would have gone that way. Anyway Classicarms was great to do business with and would do business with them again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbles 23 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I bought mine before the election, and before the big rush. Got it at a gun show from a gun store just over the border in Nevada, they are right next to a big shotgun range run by a casino, so they have lots of shotguns. At that time these were very hard to find, they had one left, and the only one at the gunshow. Paid I think about $480 something... I think.. I just remember that it was a good price for the time.

beefcakeb99 572 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 I got mine at Classicarms. That was before I knew there are board sponsors, or I would have gone that way. Anyway Classicarms was great to do business with and would do business with them again. Unfortunately, they are either out of, about to revamp, or going out of business, nor are they a vendor. Nor do they ever update their domain when they were in business. They had saigas listed for months when they really only had the s308. MDA is selling 109's for less than all of these.... I'm sorry who? MD Arms? If that's who you are talking about, are you sure they have them stocked? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeep297 20 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Couldn't hold back and decided to order one. Does anyone know if KVAR keeps their stock up to date well? I ordered one but the order status says "queued". Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MinutemanX 32 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Got mine from buds month before last for $499. Checked back they are now out of stock at $522... am currently pimping it out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
zenman223 460 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Got mine from a local pawn shop NEW for $500 OTD, befor i was even a member here. I dont think Carolina shooters has any in stock but I HIGHLY recommend them. Greg is a good guy to deal with and has super fast shipping, excellent customer service and good prices. Not that other vendors here dont but i have no experience with others. I buy everything from CSS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Torqued 8 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) My bud and I both ordered from CSS this past Friday. The price was $499 + shipping (not sure what the shipping was on just the gun because I bought ALL the mods I wanted at the same time, I dont fuck around ) CSS said he sold 19 that morning (including mine) and my buddies would have made 20, and I think he had another 1 or 2 after that. So he sold 22+ of them in a matter of 2 days. WOW! Edited January 24, 2011 by Torqued Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Trigun5312 3 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Got mine two months ago from CSS for something like $480 shipped. Was shipped to VA crazy fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogBite 0 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I paid $489 for the 19 inch S12 withuot the "optic rail" on the top of the handguard at Arms of America on Saturday afternoon. I had heard about an upcoming ATF announcement and also knew they would be drying up for other reasons, so I knew I had to get one quick. I had to get up Saturday morning and drive to the bank to make a deposit so I could make my purchase. Sounds simple but I live in the middle of nowhere and its quite a drive to the bank. Once I made it home I placed my order. A few hours later they were sold out of the model I bought. An our later they ran out of the California model. An hour after that they ran out of the 24". I'm glad I bought one because I see them being dried up for a while. Now I just need to sell my Para 45 to fund it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DogMan 2,343 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I wonder if the ATF even realizes how many big bad shotguns they put "on the street" just by mumbling a few vague words at the shot show. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jeep297 20 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 (edited) I bought mine from KVAR for $489 and they are still in stock. So is MD arms $499 and New Frontier Armory still has over 100 in stock for $550. Not sure why I'm seeing people buy them for $600 when they are still out there. Guess some people don't care to do much research. ETA- KVAR just raised the price to a $519 Edited January 24, 2011 by Jeep297 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
captainchemical 11 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 Like Nattyiceking I Bought my S-12 at B.M.G. in Newington, CT too. Small shop, but great service and great guys. Last time I stopped in there they were out of the 12's Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mrmallek 53 Posted January 24, 2011 Report Share Posted January 24, 2011 I got mine from Mississippi Auto Arms. Good people to do business with but I will say the quality of the conversion left a lot to be desired. I had to tune it to run birdshot, bend the hammer main spring to keep the legs on place - the first few times to the range were disappointing to say the least - but now I love it. To Nate's defense (I think that's his name at MAA) I never told him of the issues because I knew I could fix it and didn't feel like sending it off. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
johnnyeastside 5 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Bought mine from my local shop. I try to support the local small businesses as much as I can. I probably paid about $50 more than I could've. Sometimes, I just have to mail order, but I do what I can locally. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
