Wait so a retailer does all the leg work to get a FRT to make the product available to us. Without that FRT these would not even be allowed in the country. Then once approved the retailer, that has done the work, and has been the warranty provider here for 10 plus years puts them for sale. Then someone else grey markets them (which is allowed) and the original retailer is blamed as the bad guy? There is nothing wrong with grey market stuff. If you feel it "right" is another matter. But the by-product is you are undercutting people to try and get a better price.
When you undercut and don't pay everyone they tend to not want to do work for you. This is nothing against IRG. They do their own FRTs and bring some great products. The service they provide is unique as it is bypasses the traditional distribution methods. However, it staggers me that people think they can bypass the established distribution and then the people left out should bend over backwards for them when they need help. Talk about entitled.
If you feel the savings is worth it over the other guys then fine but don't be surprised if it takes longer and doesn't have warranty or has more hoops for warranty. I have had a receiver set in hand for weeks now, build is done ready for hunting season and have full warranty. My other rifle will be here next week with lifetime barrel warranty. IRG will not be here until the leaves are changing colour or for some, snow is on the ground. This is the trade off for better pricing. For me having it this hunting season and simple lifetime warranty is worth something to me. You cant have your cake and eat it to. YMMV
