Did they get caught selling Ranger to Civis?

I noticed their webpage now requires you to confirm you are LE and provide a tel # for verification.

They just put that up in the last two days as they sent out a flyer advertising some good ammo deals two days ago and I jumped on it.

They actually required you to state  LE for sale? I've always click civilian and never had a problem. So, they denied the sale when you clicked civilian?

I've purchased LE ammo from them many times in the past while identifying myself as a civilian.

Haven't tried to buy any Ranger though.

I didnt go all the way through there steps to buy but adding it to the cart and clicking buy didnt prompt le only.

I bought about 4 boxes of ranger a few months ago when that was about all the ammo you could buy in 45.

never asked at all if i was civ mil or le.

I stated I was civilian and recieved 1,000 rounds of RA45T.

ETA: This is apparently not BS. It is new. I just checked it out and it would NOT allow me to put RA45T in my "cart" until I entered Agency/Phone

Check it out:

I order ammo from them from time to time and this stumped me since some ammo is and isnt on the le list so im asking them right now... will have answer shortly. so far the lady said its ok for civ to buy.

alright. I guess it was a glitch in the system if you just click the box in the le window and hit add to cart it will let you add it then. not sure why they added this feature but no issue with civ buying ranger.

most are sold out now but not to bad of a deal on defense ammo!!!

No ammo sales to "lowly civilians?"  Fuck 'em ––- boycott!

Until a few months ago OMB was very strict about selling Ranger ammo to LE. Right now they are hiding it under their clearance items. Eventually they will be caught and either return to LE sales or lose their contract.

Looks like they removed the required checkbox/ tel # requirement. You can take down the BS flag now :)

Still doesn't work for me.  I PM'd one of their employees this AM, but haven't received a response yet.

I tried that and it currently won't let me put it in my cart.

It's about time IMO.  My agency is changing duty weapons, and has only been able to get us 100 rounds each to transition and qualify with.

i was only able to have them fix one it would seem.
I was able to get a hold of someone on the online chat with someone. may be faster to call in and get them to fix it or just order on the phone.

I just got an email flier this A.M. The Ranger T in .40 @ $360/1000 is a steal. I'm also getting the LE verification box, so I didn't bother pursuing an order.

I just picked up RA40TA at $179/500 and Ranger M855 at $500/1000



NO LE verification ! (Just add the ammo into your card and don't click the boxes for LE verification)

Holy crap. M855@500 per 1K. To think that is a "deal" now :(

I just bought some 9mm +P T-series and a case of buck shot.

I didn't have to put anything in.

Maybe it's a glitch the other way and they will cancel all of our orders. Or maybe they are offering a discount for Leos.




Hell of a deal going on there right now though.

ETA: Crap, I didn't realize the 9mm was backordered

I listed EMT and it went through just fine, and.....

In the past I've just made up a agency and put my city's phone number.  If they actually call, so what.  You are not breaking any laws, it is only winchesters policy.

You don't need to put anything in there.

I'm still not sure why they have it though.

Minor threat hijack but how long does it take from placing the order to receiving your ammo?

$180 shipped for the case.

They've been very fast to ship the two times I've ordered from them.

How long it takes after that will be determined by how far away you are from them(assuming they shipped UPS).

If the stuff's in stock you will get it quickly. If it's out of stock like the 147g Ranger that I ordered almost 2 months ago......who knows?

I just got my 147g Ranger a few days ago so you might be getting some soon.
