blue109 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 To be fair..,that finish was REALLY bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 Yes the Finnish was bad & I would have told them so also , but the main reason for the Magazine is to hold & supply the rifle with ammunition , if it works , the Finnish means nothing . Cosmetic , nothing more or nothing less , I would put cosmetics low & a one star , just for cosmetics is kinda harsh , but if your not satisfied , your not satisfied , plain & simple . I don't think they get all that worked up about it , but I'm sure they will look into it & they should . Because of the Mag photo you posted , I didn't order any this last order , which will be here Friday . I'll wait , I have so many Mags now , I'm in no hurry .

Robocop1051 Posted July 9, 2015 Report Share Posted July 9, 2015 With the popularity of melonite, I'm surprised we don't see it on mags more often. CP-D's "Diamond Black" (or whatever dafuq they call it) is about as close as we get, while keeping it affordable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can never have too many mags. Especially with Hitlery running for prez.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 Thank you for your return to Brownells. Per your request, we did an exchange for 3 new magazines and had them inspected by our gun techs. After the inspection, our techs informed me that our entire inventory is stamped 11/14. We therefore cannot fulfill your request for 3 new magazines. We are going to be getting new magazines in with different manufacturing date. Until we completely sell out of the current inventory, we are unable to provide the magazines to your liking. We have cancelled your replacement order and will be refunding you $59.97. This is Brownells response to me after I called to verify they were shipping me three replacement magazines. I had told them that mine were stamped with 11/14 to help in tracking down bad batches potentially. I've got to say that their service has been really bad. They were very slow to ship the product, took 5 days to respond to an email and even then they were responding to a negative review, not my email. Now this... I'm confused if their entire first batch is poorly finished or what. Overall, pretty dissappointed in the service and product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan Posted July 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 (edited) Just got another email back from them, it's definitely the whole batch. Stay clear till this gets resolved. Thank you for getting back to me. Our current inventory is similar to what you received. We had received the magazines and they were not to our standards. The magazine were returned to the factory for correction and sent back to us. What you have received is a combination of markings during repair and test insertion into lower receivers. The new batch that will be coming in, will only have minor markings and better finish as they will only be test inserted into lowers. I again apologize for the inconvenience and frustration.

survivalshop Posted July 15, 2015 Report Share Posted July 15, 2015 How were these Magazines Packaged ? Could you see the Finnish on them from outside the Packaging ? Looks like they got back with you with both Emails on the same day . Maybe some one did an inspection of the inventory . I would just call them if I had a issue . I like the way you Hitlery, that's going to stick <thumbsup> I have three 308ARs & yes I have enough for them all , since I can only carrie one at a time . <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepp Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Honestly I think your getting a little whiney about this........5 days? Think how much poop they sell in a day be happy you got a reply and they didn't just tell you to go fuk yourself... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spartan Posted July 16, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 They were in a package with clear plastic,. Whiney? I'm just trying to let other potentIal buyers know that it's all their first shipment of mags and you may want to avoid them for now. Five days for what?. That's a long time to answer an email in this day and age. Why as a customer would they tell me to fuk marks on a pRoduct that they know there is an issue with but kept selling anyway?. I guess you expect businesses to tell you to fuk off when you aren't happy with a known defecTive proDuct? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
survivalshop Posted July 16, 2015 Report Share Posted July 16, 2015 Clear package , strange they themselves didn't see the condition of this product , I find that kind of odd . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted July 17, 2015 Report Share Posted July 17, 2015 I'd strip them down to the mag bodies and run those bitches through the sandblaster, down to bare metal. Cerakote with black (or whatever color), and bake them. Done. Spartan, if you want them Patriot Brown, let me know. I'm blasting in the next couple weeks and painting alot of Patriot Brown. Ship 'em, and I'll coat 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
