Q: Are your Guns Plastic?

A: Generally speaking no.  RGC does not like Plastic! However, some movie guns that need to be super cheap will be either constructed of plastic or resin.  These guns are restricted to our "Resin" page, or notated as "Resin".  The material of our guns is never disguised, but 98% of everything we have is all metal.

​

Q: Do you guys sell Front Venting Blank Guns?

A: YES!!!!  Up until June 2015, we could not legally sell them.  These have recently been redesigned to conform with US Import Laws, so we can now sell Front Venting Blank Guns!!  We even have a website we are working on that will be exclusively devoted to them!  

 

Q: Are any of your guns PFC (Plug Fire Cap) guns?

A: Right now, no.  PFC guns are guns that cycle 1, 2, or 3 piece brass shells that are loaded individually with caps that fire and cycle the action.  These "Caps" use a type of powder/propellant that is corrosive to both metal and plastic.  They require much cleaning and vigilant maintenance.  They are also very "Quiet" compared to a real blank firing only gun.  Sometimes these are called "Blank guns" but that is a misnomer. A PFC gun is not a true blank gun, not even close, and does not provide enough satisfaction, if used as intended, to justify the maintenance.  They are also in general, "Jam Prone".  That's why RGC will always try to avoid these guns.

​

Q: I just bought a Thompson.  Can I get an extra Drum mag for it?

A: Yes, we also have extra 20 and *30 round magazines.  *30 round mags will not FIT all 1928 Replicas.  Call for details.

​

Q: How fast will I get my Order, and how do you ship?

A: We generally ship within 48 hours, unless you order a custom gun or Service.  Custom Guns generally take no more than 5 days, (Unless we need to wait for parts) with many shipping same day. We ship UPS, USPS or Priority insured. It generally takes from 4 to 8 days.

​

Q: How much do you have in stock right now? How much at any given time?

A:  RGC has Thousands of guns in the warehouse at any given time.

​

Q: I saw a gun you carry cheaper on another website.  Will you match the price?

A:  We can generally match a lower advertised price, so please, give us a call....However, Our Shipping Rates are much lower than other companies, so check that first....AND....Don't be a dink and ask us to do all the free finish upgrades that the other guys (All of them) can't do.

​

Q: I am making a small Western Short Film/Commercial.  Can you assist us in selecting period appropriate firearms, and can you help our Actors learn how to do tricks with and handle a Cowboy Six-shooter?

A: Yes, we have folks on staff who can offer insight into proper firearm selection, as well as weapons experts who can train any actor to handle his onscreen weapon. We can also train in trick pistol handling, fast-draw techniques, and the best ways to carry firearms on horseback, and holstered.

 

Q: I am a WWII reenact-or.  Can you give our squad a group discount?

A: Yes, the Management at RGC are Amateur World War II and Wild West Historians.  We enjoy helping the re-enacting community in any way possible.  It's one of the reasons we are constantly seeking new weapons, and building custom replicas for WWII era and Wild West Impressions.  Give us a call; we would love to chat with you.

 

Q: I live outside the US.  Can you ship your items to me?

A: Yes, As long as we don't know the item ISN'T illegal in your country.  Always check local laws before ordering. Go to "The Legal Stuff" tab at the top of the page, and click on the drop-down menu for more details on International Orders.

​

Q: Do you guys ever sell on eBay or Amazon?

A: Yes, and no.  We sell on eBay occasionally, but not on Amazon.....Don't be surprised if our prices are higher on eBay, their commissions are horrific!

​

Q: I read that some brands of blanks won't work with some guns. Will your Blank firing Ammo work in a gun I got from another seller?

A: That statement is pure bullshit.  Yes, of course they will work....What you probably read was this:  ".......Because of the world-wide shortage of ammunition, new suppliers have entered the marketplace offering sub-standard blank ammo. This ammo is to our guns what watered down gasoline is to a vehicle. The auto will run but will not perform optimally. MAXSELL Corporation will no longer guarantee the operation of their blank firing firearms when ammunition other than that purchased...."

​

The above statement on the MAXSELL website is designed to "Scare" you into buying from MAXSELL Corporation at inflated prices....it's a shameless load of nonsense, and indicative of how they run their company....We have been around for a loooong time, longer than MAXSELL, and we know the founder of that company personally.  The horror stories we have heard could fill volumes...

Personal Message from the Owner:

I am famous for my candor. I personally despise the Maxsell company.  The founder Ludivico "Vico" Confino was a shameless man with no conscience.  He was very bad for the industry.  He's gone now, and I don't miss him, but the company lives on in a limited format.  He engaged in many bad practices that were harmful to all of us.  Vico would: Encourage the use of blank guns for personal defense.  This is dangerous, immoral, and offers no regard for the customers safety.  He would try to import illegal items, then publicly go to war with U.S. Customs AND THE BATFE!!! over seized shipments.  This hurt the VERY FEW reputable Replica and Blank gun importers.  In addition to being an extremely vulgar man in everyday conversation, Vico would buy returns at a great discount from blank gun manufacturers, and sell them as new.  Essentially, he would buy returns and defective items from let's say Bruni, and Kimar, or Blow and Ekol, clean them up, and sell them as new.  THEN....His nonexistent return policy would kick in, and you're stuck with used junk you paid full price for.   I have seen these guns.  Not only fired, but worn out and broken.  This practice is immoral, shameless, and unconscionable, yet totally inline with his philosophy.  Were that not enough, he also sold fake badges and holsters, which made his store a one stop for retards who are going to carry these guns in public.  I always hated him for that....Remember guys, the items in which we purvey can be dangerous.  They can scare people, they can get the owner of them seriously injured, and can be used for nefarious purposes.  Our customers aren't like that, Our customers are 99.5% good people, however, we will absolutely cancel an order if we suspect you're going to do something stupid with it.  We refuse sales all the time.  We sell guns.  We are a business, not a non-profit, but there is a extra moral component involved with our line of goods, and there is no way we will fracture our relationship with the almighty just to "Make a Buck"......I promise you, we will perform our due diligence WITH EVERY SINGLE ORDER to keep these Amazingly Real Museum Quality replicas out of the hands of those who shouldn't have them, and are always on guard for that half a percent.

 

Remember, if you ever have any questions, call us.  We're gun guys, and Replica Gun Collectors as well. The items in our catalog aren't just "Product" to us.  We love them as much as you do. We have the correct information, and as fellow collectors, we are happy to share.

Cheers,
