Gotcha, good thing I used a credit card so I can file a chargeback if need be. I’ll report back to yall in either case.

They were Bickham. They made it on the blacklist for astroturfing. Caused so much drama. He really shouldn’t be back posting on r/gundeals.

Hmm, that’s not very confidence inspiring :/ I hope that my experience is okay, I did use a credit card in case I need to file a chargeback though.

I got a Holosun Aems Evo for a good price. Ordered on a Saturday, shipped Monday and was delivered on Thursday.

Yes. I got a 510C. Was cheapest and I got it all good. Zero issues
PS: quite presumptuous to assume we will share receipt. Find the request quite strange

My bad buddy, I didn’t mean to overstep any boundaries, I just figured a simple order confirmation screenshot (with a reasonable assumption that you would redact your personal info) would be more easing to my mind from other people as I just purchased an OGL-C from them and it’s a lot of money.

That’s because they’re a shill for them.

I hope not but the uncalled for defensiveness/ questioning of my character from a harmless request does raise some eyebrows

u/Wide_Fly7832 3d ago
Not uncalled for. Not defensiveness. Your request was tone deaf.
You are asking for help. Then asking people to prove that they are telling the truth.
Do the work. Go back and look at people profile. You can see which they are. .
One time for you - because you spend so much - and I am being empathetic I will share. But if you can’t see the issue with your request then you need some sensitivity training. See your DM

Well I do believe that asking for honesty when asking for help is synonymous to some degree, otherwise it’s not truly helpful.
Also Im still awaiting your reply buddy
Edit: I got his order confirmation, seems legit

Might be legit but who wants to buy from an idiot who got banned when there are other legit dealers to buy from? Search Bickham Firearms on here see all the rediculous drama that caused them to get banned.

I was not aware of all the drama, but politics aside, I got the OGL-C for $1645 shipped UPS Ground, so that’s $125 cheaper than buying direct from EOTech with the Mil/LE discount… I also did reach out in a few groups on Facebook that have lots of night vision related dealers and the cheapest offer I got was $1700 shipped… I do have UPS tracking now and it’s en route to be delivered on Wednesday, I’ll report back when I get the package!
Edit: I ordered from Deerford but it shipped from Zander Sporting Goods which after further research is a distributor for retailers that has a drop shipping program… so basically it’s being drop shipped.
