Overall I've had good experiences with them. The one problem I've had is that sometimes they do send the wrong part. I suppose it's inevitable considering the volume and selection of parts they have.

Their customer service is very good, although it can take some time to get through to them.

Just thought I'd say that.

I have had the same results with them over the years. I guess the nature of their business is like a garage sale, so I don't get too upset if they make an error. Overall they have been a great asset and I enjoy working with them.

I have purchased from them several time. What I do not like is the lack of information or pictures. A lot of the stuff is replicas or not the real deal original part. I lucked out last time and got a $5 screw for a Rem Nylon 12 (the bolt action version few and far between)

You do know to call first and get the secret code for the day and then order on line for free shipping??

You're making that up, aren't you?

I do know that having a C&R license gets dealer pricing.

No, For real. Call them tomorrow (1 800)even if you don't have to order anything and listen to the recording.

Honest!

Gotta call during business hours. Press the button to order, then listen. Usually about $5 off shipping or so. I also have a C&R on file and get 10% off

I get all my military surplus parts from them and all my turn of the century and early 1900's parts too. I do get the c&r ffl discount.

I contacted Numrich about buying the parts for my RG14. The hammer pivot broke and when I took it apart and found the potmetal hammer. I decided not to waste time and money fixing it.
Numrich gave me $20 for the parts, not including the frame. They depend on people giving them information on the parts they're sending to them. I've still got the frame and it makes a dandy paperweight.

The part I sent back today was a NIB Meprolight night sight. The listing and picture on the web site indicated it was for the 3900, 4000, and 5900 series guns with Novak Low Mount fixed sites. What they sent me was the version for the adjustable rear sight version, which is completely different. It's a simple mistake and I never noticed it. It was the gun smith that was going to do the install who picked up on it.

With used parts, I think you are 100% correct. They buy a lot of odds and ends from individuals and if the individual gives them bad information, they have no practical way to discover that.

All of that being said, I have bought some parts both used and new for older guns. And they have a very good return policy.

They have saved my bacon with hard to find items a few times. I also appreciate their online exploded parts diagrams of oddball guns. That said, I've also had them ship the wrong part or substitute a generic one.

They actually had hammers for a 1963 Herbert Schmidt .22 revolver. The first hammer they sent me had a worn out single action sear, the second one required a little fitting but it worked just fine.

FYI, They also have a store on that big auction site that begins with the letter E, there are about 1100 items on line right now,many with free shipping,their ID is gunpartscorp. I've made several orders from them in the last 10 years or so without a problem,just lucky I guess.

I've had very good luck getting parts for my Marlin, Colt, and Winchester through Numrich. Shipping is a bit expensive, IMHO, but it's their ball and court.

My experience is that they only have the parts I have needed about 50% of the time. The other thing that frustrates me is you never know if they are going to contact you days after placing the order and tell you they no longer have that part. I find myself using them less & less and using alternate sources more often.
