I am a 30% disabled Vietnam two tour veteran. While I greatly appreciate a discount when making purchases, in no way to I expect this.
Serving my country was considered a privilege. While I did not appreciate my second tour in country, I still served my country with pride. To expect and or demand a discount from any retailer, is an embarrassment to all of us.
One thing to keep in mind is it is the tax dollars merchants pay that keeps our VA health care funded. That of itself, is a huge load to carry and I greatly appreciate that as well.

Verified ReviewerPurchased Tractor with issues
I purchased rk37sc with bucket and grapple attachments. Soon after starting to operate the tractor the opening and closing of the grapple failed. I took the tractor back to the store in Dothan AL for 50 hr service so I explained to Jeff the issue with the grapple. He checked it out and stated the wiring harness was bad. He told me that he would order a replacement and should receive it the next week. It has been a month and haven't heard a word. I have tried to text and call Jeff and receive no response. So now I have a $30,000 tractor that I can't use. Also the joystick hits the rail on inside of the cab door. Jeff said the valve housing needed to be replaced.
User's recommendation: Have someone dedicated to tractor issues.

Lack of merchandise
This company is so weak. Never has anything in stock and forget about any deals cause those are REALLY never in stock. All they do is talk the talk but no way can they walk the walk cause they dont have absolutely nothing to offer. Again, RK Guns is the weakest company I have aver seen. Not even sure how they are in business being that they never have anything to sell. Just pictures. Weak weak weak.
User's recommendation: Look elsewhere unless you want to wait for nothing.

The reason for that is the fact that each gun has its own personal serial number. With that being said, the store may have the gun in stock but you would have to go through the whole background check and get a different serial number attached to your name and it's just a big hassle and a head ache for them guys to go through that day in and day out.
So even if the store has your gun in stock, they would be breaking the law if they were to just get one from the cabinet and hand it to you.
There's to many laws and regulations to sell guns and everything has to be in a row or FBI will be not only on the store's hind end but yours too. But this is just my opinion and knowledge from other stores I've worked at that sells firearms.

I bought this tractor based on pledge of mobile service as there is no service center. I've been unable to use the loader for 4 weeks due to no mechanic available and now waiting on a part from S Korea. I've been through a ridiculous chain of events and there is no one willing to do anything about it. When you buy from them, expect to deal with the store you purchased from only, complaints don't go any further upstream - they are cycled back to the store.
User's recommendation: Research national brands and buy something that is backed with a good reputation.

Professionalism
I would like a replay to this issue ASAP . Its almost 5 yrs later, as a Child of Vietnam Vet UIUC scholarship winner, I began in UIUC Business, and graduated from Business AFTER sustaining a rather severe TBI! In total honesty, the 'major problem' at RK is the owner's belief that since they 'purchased' a small liberal Arts Business BA for their son, he was able to be their CEO? NO NO NO, a BA qualifies any recipient to be an 'owner,' NOT an 'operator/CEO' like a BS degree does! Yes, its just a 2 letter difference, but there is such a LARGE DIFFERENCE between a Bachelor of Science/Substance and Bachelor of Arts/Appearance degrees! My UIUC BS needed more than HS Calculus, but a BA required just a diploma/GED, so I 'understand' RK's 2 stock losses in

Questions about shipment
Gun cases were shipped without being in boxes, one is broke and still waiting on one that FEDEX probably lost. (not very unusual for my route)
User's recommendation: shop at a local store.

Good to know, but I have been using John Deere tractors and mowers, etc. for decades with few problems, all of which were fixed by my local JD dealer who will treat you well if you buy the machines from him rather than from a big box store. To each his own, tho.

Some stores have brought it back but for 3 days only and for certain times in the day. Yeah, the Corona made it to where people can't get their own popcorn anymore, but that just the store making sure their customers aren't getting sick from other people getting into the popcorn and touching it. I personally am not a germaphob, but there are other people out there that are and will complain to the corporate about it, so yea....
