Where to buy?

RevDevil · May 9, 2010

Like many others, I'd like to buy a new X18. What stores carry them when they are available that is?
Thanks

There are dealer links on the Hinderer site.

The aftermarket is the best place to start looking. BLG seems to get them quite often

Thanks for the tips.

Very quick! You usually have 5-10 minutes once they are posted to the website!

Best to simply get on at least one of the lists. It worked well for me.

Oh. And going to Blade doesn't hurt.

Nice. Thanks. Is AZCK reliable?

What can I expect to pay (ball park)?

Blue line gear sells them for cost price. Alot of dealers have a mark up

very reliable, and you can do a 3 month layaway.

lots of their items are on consignement, so it may depend on what the owner choses to list it at.

iirc, they have ranged from 500-1000+, depending on the generation.

like OP says, you can add your name to a list at various sites or attend blade.

Good to know. Thanks. If they are located in AZ, I might be able to take a drive.

They're actually located in Florida now, but they kept the name.

AZK usually gets a few every few weeks. But you have to be Jedi fast to get one. The come up often on the forums.

I was a lucky one on the latest arrival at Arizona Custom. They shipped fast and are good to deal with. They do however mark up the production Gen III's $110 over Rick's $385 MSRP. Their price was $495 + $10 shipping. I just felt like I won the lottery finding one!

Did you get the one with the Camo Scales? you lucky you... I might have been just trailing behind you hoping your "Sale Pending" status will drop off or you get disconnected online or something. Enjoy your new XM-18! cheers.
