Interested to know what the issue was

Problem does not exist without pictures and an explanation.

otherwise it's just a witch hunt

No disrespect to the OP, but we know nothing about you

I ordered from them before. Package came in as advertised.

Ordered sa m1a nm rear sight from them to replace my factory nm sight. Solid.

No proof without pics.

The item sent was not as advertised.

Any complaints should be backed up with details and pictures.

Please be advised, Broadsideofbarn (Original Poster or OP), that many of us use CGN as a main page for outdoors and firearm related shopping: why bookmark every sponsor when they are in the header of CGN? Thus, when an issue arises and the OP is smart enough to ensure the sponsor had the opportunity to address it (coming to CGN first before the sponsor is very bad etiquette), then comes to CGN to let us know the members here would like a more complete explanation.

I recently had a purchase from a sponsor and was not 100% happy: I told the sponsor first by email and then came here to make the report on it with as full an explanation as required (anyone could PM for further details). We only ask you do the same.

There can be many factors to a "bad purchase" and we want to ensure the report of this is valid so that not only can we believe you, but if it is true the members here can help you hold the sponsor accountable: it works both ways.

Yes, unfortunately, if you consider this a "bad purchase" because a new rifle was slightly dirty from a factory test fire (I had that: it had bore cleaner all over the bolt from a sloppy wipe after firing) or something similar you will likely get some "slag" for that. However, I hope that other CGN members won't be too hard if this is the type of scenario.

I once purchased from a sponsor and clearly the item was not as advertised. Contacted the sponsor in attempt to resolve issue, I was ghosted by sponsor. Thankfully the distributor took care of things without batting an eye, which suggests to me either the distributor has come across thie issue with that retailer before or was genuinely concerned.

PM me for the name of that distributor.

Never had issues with Dunham Outdoors. Must be a misunderstanding.

OP, could you be a bit more vague on what not as advertised means?
