Got this email add today. First time I've seen this advertisement for flat rate shipping and free FFL transfer...

I believe that is standard for purchases from RKGUNS.com, it is mildly irritating that they are squeezing another $13 for shipping it to their store.

Also, take a lockable case with you. They require it to leave in a locked case which is another nickel & dime to try to sell a case at the time of sale.

I’ve only bought two guns from rk, but I’ve never needed a locking case

I've never needed a locking case either and just got the Rossi about 2 months ago.

Lockable case must be location dependent. Bought a .44mag Henry at Avon store a few months ago. Walked right out with rifle in the cardboard box. No escort or anything. YMMV

 

[dieselrealtor]

It must be location specific then, Martinsville & at least one other location (can't remember where) had that policy.

Just bought a S&W Response at RK in Greenwood, walked right out with the box, no case needed.

The bs rural king in Martinsville says you need a locked case by law because "it is in a school zone". Though all the people selling them and myself have a gun on our person. I am not sure if it is a rural king law, or a real law.

My understanding is that is the same at Lafayette as the city middle and high schools are only a block away.

Some people have had good luck w/ RK, but that hasn't been my experience. Tried to purchase a handgun and took 90 minutes trying to get my info entered into the RK system. Their system and my DL address didn't match up letter for letter. E.g. CR xxx E vs County Road xxx East. They hadn't even got to the NICS entry yet! Finally the guy asked if I needed it that day as he didn't have access and needed a manager.... Went to my favorite LGS the next AM. They had it in stock for $10 more, and I walked out w/ it in <15 minutes.

This is only for the Martinsville and terra haute stores.

Isn't the Martinsville store near a school? For some reason I was thinking that played into their policy, but I could be full of . Often am.

Edit: I guess I was right. Should've read all the way to the end before posting!

The Jeffersonville store is near a school, so they require a locking case, I brought a gun lock, and they seemed pissed, said I needed a case.....

They secure the "Locking" case with a 1/8" zip tie.

Yep, bought my TX22 there. It took about two seconds to cut the zip tie off.

 

[LEaSH]

I’m grateful that they’re an ffl dealer.

A bit of a pita buying from them, but if/when they go the way of the other big stores, rk would be definitely missed.

Lots a stupid policies all around. Just part of the game.

Martinsville RK requires them because they're within 1000ft of a school. They tried to make me buy a case once and lost a sale.

EDIT: Just saw this was already posted. But still, it's BS. Also, isn't RK one of those stores that doesn't let you pick up until they get an approval? Could be a PITA if ATF doesn't reply.

I shop there because my wife likes the popcorn and my chickens like the feed. That's about it.

Price, please.

Monroe county location does not require a locked case.

Reason I’ve never bought from the Martinsville store. Greenwood hasn’t required it. They just walk you out…at least that was the case 2 years ago.

Price, please.

They are $749.99 now. I got mine for $699. I've not seen them anywhere for less than $699.
