Frontier Firearms Review

I'm very disappointed....

When I buy online I expect:
- that my credit card will be charged within seconds
- that the order will take a few days "processing"
- That the order will take a few days "ready to ship"
- That the order will be shipped by the slowest method and will be late
- that I will be worried that my order was lost

I got none of those from Frontier, I ordered on a Friday afternoon and received it on the following Monday morning in Ontario, GTA. That's too fast, too good. I'm not used to that level of amazing service.
ROFL, now over with the sarcasm.

Great service!
Fast!
Good prices!
and the best part, they were the only sponsor that had what I wanted! and cheaper than US prices.

Thanks guys!
 
I dont' know what Marlin has going on with Canada Post but I sure like it. Paid for my Tavor on Friday at about noon... sitting on my deck in Sherwood Park on Monday enjoying what little sunshine we have left (and a cool Corona) and up drives the post man with a box.... My Tavor showed up Monday just around Noon.

Yet another great deal from Marlin and his guys. And super fast shipping. What a great team. Thank you guys.

Folks,
This is an insult with injury for me, but I believe I have to tell you my story to avoid anybody else findig themselves in the same situation.
I bought a 30/91 Mosin from Frontier Firearms. The listing was for $379 and was saying that it’s covered in cosmoline. Was it reasonable to assume that it was in storage and should be in good (slightly used) condition?
Still, to be on a safe side I wrote an e-mail telling that I expect slight wear of the barrel and bolt and no rust.
Once I’ve got the piece it was in a condition which was started me thinking that maybe it was dug up from the battlefield. A number of rust spots, deep pitting fast and desperate attempts to quickly make it look somewhat acceptable…
I’ve tried to leave a comment telling my story – it was not posted.
I’ve contacted them by e-mail? They told me that ‘this is an 80-year old rifle and what did I expect?’ that my review \is not welcome’ and basically, to fly a kite!
So, you have every right to try and find out for yourselves but in my view Frontier Firearms is a bunch of liars, cheats and thieves and we should do everything to drive them out of business.
If anybody thinks that I’m not telling the truth you can always contact me as I definitely stand behind what I say.

Except for the fact that you were told before hand by email that the quality of these Mosins was much less than previous batches. And no we do not post immature review on our site like the one you tried to submit.

You expected a pristine 91/30 for that price when that's what common refurbs seem to be selling for these days? You should have done some research, for less than $400 I would never expect a "like new" ww2 milsurp of any type.

I just ordered a surplus apparel from them. With all the bad reviews I am reading here, I am now holding my breath...
 
Bought a Canuck 12 gauge a few months back. Amazing service, communication, price and speed of delivery.
When the tax return get's processed (and when those HighPoint carbine's are available) I'll be buying more.
 
Frontier is one of the bigger gun retailers that's close to me, and as such I've been there quite a few times over the past four years or so. I've never had a bad experience there, the employees and owner are excellent to deal with, I've done a bit of everything from buying to trading guns there. Even when I wound up with a defective Henry one time they were incredibly on the ball and able to help me deal with it the very next day. I really loved their old store front and the service at it was was just great, they went above and beyond especially when I was interested in surplus rifles. I'm sad that they weren't able to keep that business model up because it was such a pleasant place to shop, but in Saskatchewan I can definitely understand why they went to an online store primarily.

For me they've cemented themselves as my favourite gun shop in Canada, which is awesome considering they're based in my own province. I plan to remain a customer for many years to come.
 
Bought 3 guns from them.
Service was good ... no complaints.
Quit them when the ordering by phone started.
Just about everybody else deals with credit cards.
Website is so-so with lousy pictures.
Time to join the 21st century.
OR NOT and go the way of LeBaron.

If they do full and secure online processing including online processing of credit cards WITHOUT the necessity of making a phone call then as far as Frontier is concerned I'm back.
They had a great line of products and good prices and their service was fast as I recall.
