Where to buy sar-1

I am about to purchase a Romanian sar-1 and I narrowed it down to either SOG or Wholesale Guns and Ammo. I just wanted to know if anybody bought this gun from either of them and if it worked out fine (this being my first online purchase, I want to make sure of everything). I'm leaning towards Guns and ammo because they cost $290 and comes with two mags. SOG is $280 with no mags. Thanks for any input.

    Go with AIM.

    $299 plus tax and shipping gets you the SAR-1, sling, original cleaning kit, factory test target, manual, and 1 40-round, and 1 10- round magazine.

    The people there are good, too. Fast shipping as well.

    Sog is a very reputable dealer, I know several people who have done business with them in the past. I don't know their reputation, but I've seen Wholesale G&A advertising in shotgun news for some time now. I figure if they must have lasted this long, they must be doing something right.

    Well, I don't know about their reputation, but I really liked their price, and just ordered a CETME from AIM Surplus for $299.99. I wrote them a really nice letter, and hopefully whoever gets it will pick me out a nice one... I know I know, I'm a brown noser, but if it works, it works...

    If I'm wrong please correct me, I won't be offended.

    Seriously, let me know how that works out. I may emulate your strategy.

    One strategy that has worked for me in the past: give the order over the phone, and butter up the salesperson to put in a good word with the shipping manager. I suppose it could have been a miracle, but my M44 for $59.99 was supposed to be in good-very good cond, and damned if it didnt have near perfect furniture and the original packing grease in the barrel when I got it

    I checked on AIM's website and I guess they don't have the sar-1 right now because they only have the option to purchase the sar-2 or sar-3. I guess it is just a toss up between SOG or G&A.
