Samco Global Arms

I had ordered some 7.65 Luger ammo in Nov., and it shipped fine. My only gripe with them was their shipping charges! They were the only regular source for Finnish surplus 7.65 Luger ammo.

I placed an order in October, never received it. I emailed them with an inquiry and they said it will ship Friday. Still haven’t received it. I have emailed them 6 times NO response and I called them as well, no answer. Fast forward to 1÷14÷2016− NO product, no answers to email and my money never got refunded. A-​HOLES stole my money. I started an inquiry with AMEX to get my money refunded. It so happens their website is shut down as well.

Apparently Samco Global Arms files for bankruptcy on December 7, 2015 the day after I placed and order and they charged my credit card. They are not answering phone calls or emails, nor have they posted any information on their web site on this regard.
I am calling my CC to revert this transaction.
Hope this helps anyone.

If you are looking for good deals on vintage/​surplus/​C&R firearms this is one of the places to go to online.
I ordered a 1944 Izhevsk Mosin Nagant ⁹¹⁄₃₀ «Scopeless» Sniper with 2pins/​2holes in Special Select Condition for $ 270 in March. I asked them to give me one with the best looking stock, since the ones they had left all had minor cracks in the stock. It took about 3 weeks for them to ship it to Direct Action Solutions in Solana Beach.
The Mosin Nagant ⁹¹⁄₃₀ sniper rifle is perhaps the most mass produced sniper rifle in history and had the most sniper kills. They can still be found throughout the globe, and was seen being used by Russian forces in 2004 in Chechnya.
These rifles that Samco sells are the famous «Yugo» snipers that the Soviet Union supplied to the former Yugoslavia as war aide in WWII. The Yugoslav army and partizan forces never really used them, preferring to use their Mauser rifles, they removed the PU scope for other uses and put these rifles into long term storage which explains their great unrefurbished condition. They have gotten more attention from shooters and collectors due to their history and the 2001 movie Enemy at the Gates.
The product was as described and better than what I asked for (for approaching bottom of the barrel). The bolt # matched with the serial #. She had some cosmoline, upon closer inspection the minor «crack» in the description was in the cut out on the stock for the scope mount. The bore was in pristine condtion with sharp rifling and no grooves, even better was the «sniper trigger» which as lighter and more crisp in comparison to my regular infantry model.
My only gripe is with one of the customer representatives, who is hard to understand due to her accent and with the long shipping times, but they will ship and you will get it!
All in all, I am very satisfied with Samco Global, they will consider your requests when you order from them. If you want a real and authentic mosin nagant sniper, without having to pay premium eslewhere or an arm and leg for one, consider one of these and add an accumounts PU scope and mount. If you want one get one ASAP, since they have been fast approaching the bottom of the barrel.

I have been unable to contact anyone at SAMCO recently. Has anyone else had the same problem.
