Just dropping an endorsement in for Surplus Store UK based in Crawley - a lot of members here are already aware of their great service but wanted to drop a note in here - They accept Sportsman Association membership as acceptable for the purchase of RIFs - they have an awesome array of RIFs for sale
- Prices are competitive - and if you are still a member of AGF there is a discount code to be used for accessories (maybe members close to Dan can inform him of our forum and maybe get our own codes!)
- Customer service is superb, you are dealing with a family based business and they couldn't do more to help you out if you have any problems
- The website is very good, and in my experience the stock updates are accurate as I purchased a 1911 a few months back and it was the last one, this was updated to OOS within minutes on the site
You cant really go wrong and if you live in the area, lucky you!
EDIT - 29/03/22 - Whilst the service from Surplus Store is excellent the pricing can be a bit on the high side, even with the AGF discount code applied. You are in safe hands if you order from here but if you want to save a few quid it might be worthwhile shopping around |

I’ve dealt with them on two occasions faultlessly.

But when they advertise on guntrader etc and you contact them about a item, they never have it in stock in my experience. I asked them about a 7." Colt a while back that they were listing as in stock on Guntrader or Gunstar and they replied saying that they haven't had the long barreled Colts in for over a year. So I asked why it was advertised and their answer was to get people to contact them so they could offer a different gun. Marketing ploy. They admitted it to me. But I'm glad some people get what they want from them.  |

GarryT used them (specifically Dan) to get hold of Umarex Colt SAA spares (hammers, triggers, cylinder hands, etc.) and Dan gave him good service but to be fair he'd known him for years and years as they used to AS together in the very early days of the sport.
But if you're looking for those hard to get replacements, then Dan's the man ! But they can be expensive from what I remember, but what price do you place a much needed replacement part for a non working gun ? I suppose it's cheaper than buying a completely new replacement gun.
