    I've seen numerous lists of C&R distributors, but what are your favorite companies to order from? I haven't personally ordered anything from any distributors (yet), but it seems many people like SOG and AIM the most. Which companies had the best condition firearms and customer service in your experiences?

    There have been a few smaller companies that responded very quickly to my e-mails...I was wondering if they'd be on anyone's "to-go" list.

    add J&G sales to your list. theyre out in Arizona but carry some nice stuff. Ive also ordered a couple from SOG. They can be a little slow getting your order processed but the stuff is always in great shape and worth it

    I've bought a few things from AIM and what I've recieved has always been better than my expectations. They have also been really helpful on the phone. I think their shipping prices are a little on the high side... but thats the only thing I haven't been completely satisfied with.

    I have never ordered from SOG.

    I've actually had good luck with Century as well. The times I've talked to their customer support, they've been friendly and helpful. Generally the condition isn't as good as what I've seen from AIM... but their shipping is DIRT cheap! $12 to ship a CZ82 to my door... can't beat that.

    I used to shop at classic arms a lot. Not so much since ownership changed so I can't tell you if they are still great.

    Empire arms if you are a collector and looking for odd stuff.

    Samco Global Arms is not too bad, I have only ordered ammo from them, but have had good experiences with Century int'l and SOG on firearms.

    i ordered with I.O. Inc. and received a perfect Nagant revolver. not hand picked just from stock. it looks brand new and fires .32 S&W Longs like it was made for it. just my 2 cents.

    I've used all the big names with good luck, but if I had to pick one, AIM always shines above the others.

    I ordered a Nagant pistol from AIM a few weeks ago, I think shipping was only $14 because they allow you to use UPS second day air now.
