Has anyone bought from them?
They are a scam. They only accept Zelle, Venmo, or Apply Pay.
I could be wrong - it happens at least daily.
Google maps shows that address as a 7UP warehouse. Google street view shows 7UP trucks at the warehouse.
just took a quick look there, they have cci, winchester, federal primers all in stock------it looks like.
in my mind BIG RED FLAG.
the big guys, midway, mid south, Grafs, powder valley. gibrass have no primers, gibrass did have some but they are long gone now even at what like $450/5000 , but this place, dukes, has all the major brands. it just doesn't smell right.
maybe they are legit or maybe they are trying to make people think they are dukes sport shop in Pennsylvania, a well established gun shop.
No credit card payments either - This outfit is hinky until proven otherwise
Being human is not for sissies.
Scam sites are epidemic on the web right now.
I ran across another dubious gun shop on the web that advertised primers at less than $40.00 per K. I asked them a question and specifically ask for a response. HA! not a peep out of them. Lots of primers on GunBroker but I am leery of things I can't touch and see before I turn my $ over to them. There is an outfit on G'Broker called Big_Sky_Arsenal that has CCI primers that go for around $100 per thousand + shipping and hazmat. As bad as I hate to admit it, that is the going price today. My LGS has SRP for $ 80 plus tax(10%) so you're still looking at about $90.

Ran across one of these websites for shotshell components too. They list all sorts of powders in stock at too good to be true prices. No credit card payments only the payment types that cannot be reversed. Let's keep driving the message home because these sites wouldn't be up if they didn't work. They're scams. They're obviously scams. If you are unsure, you are one of the people they're fishing for.
It is simple....if a company will not take a credit card, I do not do business with them.
CC companies will almost always side with their customers. I suspect that CC companies also have more incentive to report scams and will be taken more seriously than I would be.

I just found a place with tons of Cheddite 208 shotgun primers, Around $75/thousand. No limits on quantity. I know they have them because I was in the shop a couple days ago and the primers were stacked floor to ceiling! I was shocked to see so many. The shop is Great Lakes Outdoor Supply in Middlefield Ohio. They had very little powder and a limited selection of shotgun wads, but lots of shotgun primers. Just consider this a Public Service announcement.....
I am amazed how easily people are fooled. Scam sites for components and ammo are EVERYWHERE. If you never heard of them before the panic, stay away.
Went to local Sherwin Williams store and discovered that they had lots of primers in stock!!
It's all chicken, even the beak!
Some folks need to be taken advantage of. They just got to learn the HARD WAY. Even make excuses why they bought from the fraud site.
There is definitely truth in what you are saying. Some people cannot resist themselves. Be assured, if you place an order with an online website that has your favorite powder or primers “in stock” and only accepts the cash apps, PayPal “friends and family, Bitcoin, etc., what you are really doing is making a donation to the website and towards your education.
