Won a rifle on Wards last week. Have yet to hear from them. Got one before and it didn’t take this long. Anyone one else waiting? Don’t want to bother them. Big Larry

You’ve already paid for the trouble of “bothering” them.  Another 1906?

Yes. A 2 tone Expert. Not the nicest one, but the 1st one I have seen that has not been re bbld. All for sale have the circle P. I may be coming into 2 M1903’s. I will have my pick of 30 rifles. Holding my breath on these.   Big Larry

Now THAT would excite me more than a 1906!  (Though you’ve already had some of the best & rarest.)

Yes, I had military guns anyone would be proud to own. Thanks, Big Larry

Larry, I have bought from them a bunch of times.  Here lately they have been slower emailing the invoice to me.   I’m not sure why though?  I did not buy anything in the last auction.  There was some small stuff that I should have bid on. 

Normally I don’t recommend buying guns that you have not seen, but, I bought 2 guns from them and they were better than described. I did call them and we had a phone conversation before I bid.

Emailed them yesterday. He told me this was the biggest auction they ever had and they were a bit slow. I am a disabled person, and have to use the internet for buying guns. I hate it, but that is only way I can do it. I rely mostly on Guns International. Thanks, Big Larry

My experience has been the guys at Wards are slow and overworked. They take days to answer an email. You will be lucky if you get the rifle by the end of the month. Quality guys but slow.

They answered my inquiries the same day. Sent me an invoice and told me my credit card on file had expired. Called them with a new card and that’s all I heard. They are backed up due to the size of the auction and Monday is a holiday, so it may be awhile. No reason to get overly excited over an auction I guess. Have bought from them before and usually the guns have been better than advertised. Especially the M06 I bought with the STAINLESS STEEL bbl. Rare and beautiful.   Big Larry
