OpticsPlanet Stops Sales of "High Capacity" Magazines - "Nothing To Do with Parkland Shooting" - The Truth About Guns

They can move to a free state if they want my future business.

Simple solution - get the hell out of Northbrook (yuppie 'burb of Chicago)!

I never really liked their site anyways.

I do think this is very suspicious timing.

And if you look, you'll see that none of them hold more than 10 rounds.

I noticed that. First time I've seen a drum magazine that was capped at 10rounds.

hummm, I mostly bought "Optics" from 'em........ (if the price was right only). Mags were never their strong suit, price wise IMHO.

Kar98 · Feb 20, 2018

They had some really good prices on full sized Walther mags.

Chirpy · Feb 20, 2018

Ahem, a little deeper into the comments @TTAG and it looks like they have never been able to sell more than 10 round mags to civilians. Much ado about nothing...

JColumbus · Feb 23, 2018

Sucks, I was just about the purchase the Surefire Masterfire holster from them. Guess I'll have to pay a little more, somewhere else.

I have used them for years and I dont ever remember seeing mags with more than 10 rounds listed on their site, although I only checked the basics: ar, ak and glock mags.

Never really thought anything of it as I can get magazines from other places

Bought a few pair of sunglasses from them over the years, never paid attention to much else.

Younggun · Feb 23, 2018

Almost bought a scope from them once. Turned out to be out of stock after showing in stock at time of purchase. Got email notification that I could wait or cancel the order. Canceled the order and found the scope at another place.

Took Optics planet over a week to cancel the $1000+ hold on my bank account.

I also don't like how they list their savings. Anybody that says "save xxx%" and bases the saving off of MSRP and not the actual regular price is a bastard IMO.

Haven't used them since the issue with my bank account though. Would be less pissy about it if they hadn't shown it to be in stock and I had simply screwed up.

If you ever find something with a good price there SWFA will beat it. And they are here in by-God Texas!

Plus the added 8.25% sales tax (for most counties in TX) and on a scope costing anywhere from $1000- 2400 bucks that's a chunk of change........

It's $49.50 on a $600 dollar scope.

That is why I haven't bought anything from primary arms since I moved back to Texas. Sales tax sucks

I paid $181.50 taxes on the last scope, a Leupold MK6 1-6x with LT-104 mount pkg deal at LaRue the in Leander, TX........ (love both products but YIKES, as stated that's a chunk for showing support for a TX company).

Younggun · Feb 23, 2018

Yeah, we should get a state income tax instead...

I'll buy from SWFA. Damn good people there.

orbitup · Feb 23, 2018

If I remember correctly they put shipping and taxes into the equation. That's awesome for me because I can pick it up.
