FAQ
Welcome to our MontanAAR15.com F.A.Q. page.
We are proud to be one of the best online Ammo, AR15 parts, AR15-lowers, AR15-uppers and AR15-mags websites out there, run by true experts. We are eager to share our experience and knowledge with you as you buy our pistol, rifle, shotgun and rimfire ammo and more.
We will be adding to this FAQ archive but for now we have information on Building your own AR-15 & Barrels (Click here to go to the barrel page).
My small company is really that small.
I am currently running this website solo. I've got a shipper and borrow a buddy from the machine shop next door (where our BAM and SAA parts, uppers & lowers are manufactured and/or built) to do all of the builds for what I sell on my site.
I do not have a PHYSICAL STORE to visit.
I run this website from a small warehouse here in the northern part of Victor, Montana. Because of the nature of what we sell we are a secure location so we can't do local sales/transfers.
Do I answer PHONE CALLS and/or (how to) place a PHONE ORDER?
I am here early to late, 6-7 days a week and will answer PHONE CALLS best I can. I will monitor my site's emails throughout the day and will answer them at all hours. Leave me a message or email me (sales@montanaar15.com) your number and a good time range to call you and I will call you to take a phone order.
PHONE ORDERS CC processing...
are placed through the same system as ordering online, just an f.y.i. I DO NOT have a separate credit card machine like a store does. The card processing is only done through my website's SECURE online system (yes, it is secure, I've been processing online website payments now for 15 years using the same trustworthy company and people now all that time).
MAILING IN PAYMENT...
I can take a PHONE ORDER for sending in a manual payment (USPS money orders are preferred, all other money orders or certified checks will need to post to the bank before order ships). My website is NOT SMART ENOUGH to take an order without (credit card) payment UNLESS I do it over the phone.
My Website's SHIPPING COSTS...
are what you see on my site. As a small company doing only the smaller volume I do, and with only this ONE location I ship from, my UPS ground rates are not the best, I am well aware. I have only this one location here in western Montana so the rate you see on my site's shopping cart page are based on the product, its weight, the distance from Victor, Montana to wherever you are, and my small business discounted rate (it is better than the standard UPS published rate). My site is tied to the UPS website's rate calculator. NOTE: The USPS will NOT touch ammo, never have in the many years I've been shipping ammo, so they're not even an option.
Do I actually know about guns & ammo, parts & mags, AR15'S & AK47'S, Glocks & Sigs & Hk's & CZ's & S&W's, Rimfire, Longrange, Shotgunning, Hunting, Varminting & more...
I do, we do. No, I don't know everything, but I have been collecting & shooting for half my life (in my 50's) and selling the stuff since 2009. My buddies here include my shop, the machine shop next door and a couple of gun shops. We have well over a century's worth of time shooting everything (guns and game) and every kind of shooting from plinking to tactical to competition to just backwoods funnin'. So yes, from 22's to 338's and most anything in between that we sell, we've shot most of it over the decades. So ask away. If I don't know or can't find out, I'll tell you that, but I'm rarely stymied and I will at least point you in the best direction to find your answer.
Why can't I order whatever I want to where I live and are there restrictions on things?
Yes, this free country, isn't entirely. There are federal laws and restrictions and your state will have many and more restrictions. I know most of these and list HERE. But yes, YOU DO HAVE TO KNOW YOUR OWN LOCATION'S rules (you're your own fault, not mine). States like my Montana, doesn't have many, or any, more than the fed. restrictions, but states like California, have more, MANY more, unbelievably more. Talking to your local gun store will be the best to find out what all those restrictions are, they're your local pro's and better know what you can or can't do in your location.
