Sempfi1 Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 Anyone done business with these guys before? They have a gun I am interested in but did not answer my online inquiry about it. Cannot find a Facebook page, any social media or BBB page on them to check reviews which seems odd. Any Florida SOT's familiar with this business, good, bad? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
United Surplus Arms Posted March 7, 2022 Report Share Posted March 7, 2022 a quick look at their website shows that they are selling stuff from other dealers. Their HK-33 is straight off ruben's website/listing. https://machingunstore.com/product/hk33a2-excellent-pre-may-keeper-3025139-2/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Possibly other way around since Ruben sells things on consignment.. And sometimes not even in his inventory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious, what is your basis for this statement? I've known and done business with Ruben for more than a couple decades and I've never heard this. My understanding is Ruben doesn't list anything until it's in his physical possession. Other vendors, to their own admission, such as Midwest Tactical on the other hand, do in fact broker and list machine guns not in stock / their possession.

Ryo Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Actually there was a sale on Sturmgewehr of a MAC11 which he didn't have in his possession because it was listed here and less than a month later listed on both here and on Sturmgewehr. It was confirmed by the owner. It was less than a year ago. In fact Ruben posted the exact same photos in his sales email taken by the owner. I'm not saying he is bad or lying. People seem to like dealing with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People seem to like dealing with him. you might be confusing Ruben with Midwest Tactical. I am aware of the Mac11 (2 actually) that were both listed recently here, and on MWT, simultaneously. Ruben's website says in his listings that the item is in stock in his Miami vault. In fact, the listing I linked in my original reply, (from Machine Gun Brother's website) says the HK is in stock in their Miami vault. However they (MG Brothers) are not located in Miami, but Ruben is. Edited March 9, 2022 by shiklg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryo Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Ah.. I think your right. It was MWT. Not sure why I associate it to Ruben.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.miller0412 Posted March 9, 2022 Report Share Posted March 9, 2022 Only form of payments seem to be crypto or direct bank transfer. I'd say it's a scam.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sempfi1 Posted March 10, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 Yeah they don't respond to emails and the address on Google maps shows a house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaRenegade86 Posted March 10, 2022 Report Share Posted March 10, 2022 (edited) I found the clowns in question the other day while browsing machine gun related websites. I was thinking about writing to warn the people here, but got caught up doing something else. These dudes are first degree scammers. And for what it's worth, I could not locate their supposed FFL on the ATF list. -KristopherH Edited March 10, 2022 by MontanaRenegade86 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

secondofangle Posted April 5, 2022 Report Share Posted April 5, 2022 If you're into reloading you have probably come across a smorgasboard of fake sites selling gunpowder, primers, etc. These scammers are capitalizing on desperation in the gun market.

Any Florida SOT's familiar with this business, good, bad? Gentlemen, Thank you for your kind words. This is a Scam, they are using my pictures and I have contacted Secret Service and ATF they told me it was a fake website in Eastern Europe. And there is very little they can do. We are not brokers, everything on my website is in my possession and you are welcome to come see it in Miami, FL. By the way if you see people asking for Crypto as payment, Run away. Thank you, Ruben 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
