[The Armory] Updated Review

Okay, so had a slight worry yesterday when several posts came to my attention that claimed the Armory scammed them. It seems that users are refreshing to a scammer on Evolution that was using the Armorys name, but not related to them.

I posted this yesterday - http://www.reddit.com/r/DarkNetMarkets/comments/20zx13/so_is_the_armory_a_scam_or_not/

Still waiting to hear from duckducktnt, but it did help explain what the confusion was about. I was told by the Armory I'd have tracking within 24 hours, and that's the reason for the post. I'll keep it updated as things progress.

Here is the timeline of events.

Early February: Inquiry, they are quite knowledgeable and helpful with my questions. They claim they can bypass any customs they need to deliver firearms, and also gave me information about their Dead Drops.

Mid-February: Went through and asked to purchase a firearm. I was delivered a somewhat impersonal invoice with little explanation until I asked them what to do, which they explained in great detail.

Escrow Used BitSec escrow, originally I intended on using BTC-asia but they didn't allow clearnet escrows. It took a few times to run through to get everything straight and seems odd since I could never get an email from their email address, but the vendor seems to have no issue with them.

They give you a long escrow code that has your information in it (I was told not everything, just for your order and payment). Put that in, you get a payment address and a escrow key for refunding.
Also for releasing escrow I think.

Got a confirmation in about two days after I emailed them after payment, that's when I assumed i had been scammed when no email came when I paid. (bitsec not Armory).

Some emails had been exchanged but for the moist part they were silent until I recently made the reddit post.

Currently I have the tracking and upon checking it it is legit and is tracking an active package. Of course, can't say which postal service or country, but I am starting to regain conference.

I'll update here when more information comes, hope it's not just an empty package to scam me through escrow.

EDIT: Okay, sorry it took so long but finally managing to update. I'm not arrested and the box wasn't empty, however it did take me fucking forever to get the damn thing even half way started. I can see the parts, what I'm fairly sure is the rear of the slide, but I'm heading out in the morning to get the right type of tools to get the XXXX apart.
Note: it does not require "basic" tools, and online these are about $60 for a whole kit. Of course I can't just bring in the thing to see which bit I need to that's another $60 spent.

I'll post more in the morning, going to get a few hours of sleep but I've been up and getting quite annoyed with this so goodnight.

I really hope you get what you ordered by i can't shake the feeling that they are a scam. Been around for years yet not 1 positive confirmed report from a regular poster. "they claim they can bypass any customs" - no-one can bypass customs, they can package it well enough to get through but not bypass customs. If they do have all these dead drops/customs connections/knowledge of worldwide shipping etc etc then they would be part of a massive multinational arms dealing operation not selling to idiots like us on the dark net. Anyway update and let us know what happens (not that I will be placing an order i have no need, want or use for a firearm, or drugs for that matter i just like reading about others experiences.)

I am going to call he Armory a scam and tell people to not go near them. No response now for five days to emails asking where is my order that is Ex Newcastle Stock. Bitsec the escrow service is the same they do not respond

SCAMM SCAMM SCAMM SCAMM SCAMM and the only way I will retract is if ever the order is delivered and it don't look like that is going to happen
