Remek 771 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Damn! I was about to order something too. Guess I now have to avoid another company. Have to close out my accounts. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ronin38 2,117 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Read the Comments below the article, folks! Amazon was just looking for vendors at the SHOT show last month! I also just bought several hundred bucks worth of "firearm-related" stuff from them within the last week. The only thing I'm waiting to be shipped is a scope mount that's backordered, the other items are either here now or on the way for Monday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Venia 249 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Where there is opportunity to make money, I guarantee someone will fill that void.....that's the beauty of our Capitalist system folks. If amazon is having a self inflicted attack of conscience, the next company will pick up the slack and say thank you! No big deal. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squishy 1,149 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) I've read and reread this and I'm not clear on what is newly prohibited. In the link to Amazon the prohibited list seems to be most of the same stuff that has been prohibited on eBay for a long time. I see listings for pistol grips, barrel shrouds etc. http://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html/ref=hp_left_sib?ie=UTF8&nodeId=200277700 There seems to be some confusion about what has been prohibited in the comments. No items were specified and a screen shot of a book about how to build a pistol was shown. What items have been prohibited recently? If you read the comments under the article it seems a lot of readers of this blog are wondering about this too. The blog people say they have some insider knowledge but they can't talk about it....seems they have already. Edited February 19, 2013 by Squishy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mancat 2,368 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 (edited) Knives, other than the above permitted knives, such as: Automatic knives What is an automatic knife? They specifically ban spring-loaded or switchblade knives, so what the hell is it? Edited February 19, 2013 by mancat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Eric Pate 478 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 The only "automatic knife" that I'm familiar with is a "two-way automatic" Push the switch- blade pops out, pull the switch- blade pops back in. I've got one around here somewhere. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remek 771 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I was thinking one of those two-bladed electric knives. I have one, just for turkey day. My grandfather loved it, and it reminds me of him. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheDeacon 168 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 When I log in to Amazon, I see the same recommendations I always get, lots and lots of weapon accessories, "tac" lights, lasers and such. No obvious change in the recommendations that I get. Well, other than a listing for the complete Ghost in the Shell anime series on DVD. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lone Eagle 839 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Right after buying my Saiga, I go lucky and found a seller on Amazon with 12 Chinese mags for a whopping $40 shipped. He'd pulled the egay "airsoft" trick, and was just wanting to move them. He tossed in an E. German 4 cell gratis. I now only use Amazon for the wife's Kindle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YOT 3,743 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Seems to be a whole lot of reactionary hoohah in this thread. The way I'm reading it, not much is changing. Besides that, some things I just wouldn't order from Amazon, anyhow. I know this is a gun forum and the website that published the article is a gun website but, propaganda much?

Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 A search for quad rail returned 1161 hits, the first several sold directly from Amazon with prime shipping. I also see bump fire stocks still listed and Tapco AK FCGs (also prime shipping). I'm calling BS on this until I get clear evidence otherwise. Everything looks the same as it ever did to me.

Matchgrade 27 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I just received my non magazine Magpul order from them last Saturday. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
liberty -r- death 1,445 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Amazon is now dead to me just as Dick's Libtard Sporting Goods. Never spend a cent there again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

RedChallenger 149 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 I just ordered a Magpul ACS QD it says that it shipped. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bigtwin 219 Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Friday I recieved a concealment holster and several other gun related items(some were even gun parts), no issues! Some folks need to reread and evaluate the situation! When I logged in they still had all the same gun related products as they always have. No they don't deal in guns or ammo...never have as far as I have known..but accessories and reloading items(no not powder and primers) they still do from what I can see! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mogunner 240 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 I've bought buttloads of firearm related stuff off Amazon, this is probably just some idiot that all of a sudden couldn't buy "how to make bombs" books on there so started this BS. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Remek 771 Posted February 22, 2013 Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Thanks for enlightening me. It seems you are right, it is their policy, and it seems they just caught it that time. I also note several items I am interested in are still there. Guess I will keep the account open. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
