Is there and advantage buying from AirForce?
Getting ready to order my rifle and pump and was wondering if there was any advantage to getting my goods directly from AirForce?
I’m not ordering a Condor so i’m not worried about getting the new valve, but I have noticed a significant price difference between the shops and AF.
I think the overall difference is roughly 50-70 bucks on an $800 order.
I am getting the TalonSS in .22 cal, bipod, and pump.
AF price TalonSS- 499.00
Pump- 224.95
BiPod- 69.95
Compasseco price- TalonSS- 479.95
Pump- 189.95
BiPod- 66.45
Would there by ANY difference in the product?
Also someone mentioned ordering a Condor with the new valve and AF shipped a returned Condor with the old valve with the last receipt still in the box… 😕
Thanks
Jim

If you ordered straight from AF, my only concern would be the time taken in shipping. I ordered a simple fill adapter from them for my SCBA tank on the same day (a Friday) that I ordered a quick disconnect to place on my fill hose from another source in California.
AF plant is only 350 miles from me, California is 5 States away. I got the part from California the following Wednesday. From the Friday that ordered the fill adapter, it was 13 business days before the fill adapter arrived….. 😯
I called them twice about the order and both times, they gave me two different dates that they said the shipment had been sent out on. Actually, I don’t think it was ever shipped when they said it was and only after it was brought to their attention on the second call, is when they shipped it.
Hey Jim,
Will be the same exact product no matter where you get it from.
Give Steve at SS a call.
His link is at the top of our home page.
Good Luck.

I feel your pain…. When I lived in England anything you ordered would get to you within 3 days no matter what shipping method they used, infact the Post office would sometimes be next day just because the country isnt that big. Now I moved to the US it seems that I picked the wrong coast to live on as no matter what I buy… it seems to come from California and take at least a week and thats hoping they ship it the day they receive the order.
I ordered a Night Vision by telephone…. took 4 months to get it, and like you I’m sure they only shippe dit after my last call because it showed up 3 days later fedex 2nd day…. 😕 Not the service I expect when spending $1600…. (NV and headmount)
