I think I have bought there once.. what can you tell me about CDNN?
Is this a clearinghouse for factory seconds, or are these rifles front line stuff? I see a model I like there, just want to be sure to get a good one and all that.

Thanks for any input on them.
 
Although I've never bought a firearm from them, I've bought a lot of stuff from CDNN over the years. Their merchandise, in my experience, is as they describe it.
 
Like others have already posted I have had nothing but good experiences with all of my dealings with CDNN. Everything has been as advertised and one item I had to send back (a scope was defective), was handled by their customer service promptly and hassle free.
 
Bought a couple of handguns and a shotgun from them.

Zero problems. Would absolutely buy from them again.
 
I've bought one rifle from them and lots of accessories and magazines. Many of their guns are discontinued items that they buy up in bulk and pass the savings on. None that I know of are 2nd's. Often manufacturers will make minor changes to a gun or drop a certain cartridge and CDNN buys them all at discounted prices.
 
Another one for the plus column. Several orders over the years with zero problems, items are always as described. In fact I'm eyeballing something on their site right now..........
 
I have been buying from them for years. About a year ago I bought some AR buffer tubes. One was defective. I called and they shipped me a replacement, no questions asked.
 
About ten years ago, I bought a 3 1/2" S&W Model 65 from them when they were practically giving them away.

I had a VERY good experience with them, and wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again.
 
Like jmr40 said, they are liquidators that buy up closeouts and inventories in quantity, then sell them for cheap. I've bought several guns from them, both new and police trade-ins and have always had good experiences.
 
I buy guns, ammo and accessories from them all the time. They are a clearing house for discontinued stuff and stuff that has proven to be poor sellers and liquidated from other distributors. Some are advertised as "blemished" but most are first rate production guns, not seconds. I've bought several guns through them. Just make sure your dealer doesn't get his panties in a bunch over it. CDNN is a distributor and some dealers think they're getting screwed out of profit. Mine only screwed himself out of future sales.
 
Another positive experience here as well.

Bought my first AR from them earlier this year. Excellent CS and fast shipping to my LGS.

Wouldn't hesitate to buy from them again, and likely will at some point.
 
I've had quite positive experiences with them. The products there are new and not seconds (unless otherwise marked)

It often happens by the time I figure out what I want, most places aren't selling it anymore - I've found some real gems (to me, at least) at CDNN.
 
I bought two handguns from them in the past year or so. One was a police trade-in Sig that exceeded my expectations. The other was a factory new handgun. All my dealings with them have been positive.
 
I tried to order a firearm from CDNN (that's legal here in CA) a few years ago and the guy on the other end seemed to be a bit too happy to tell me that they don't ship guns to CA. It made me wish I could slam down my cell phone like we could in the past with regular landline phones...

So I called Bud's and they matched the price...

100% positive experience for me, they delivered what was purchased in a timely fashion and made sure I was kept in the loop at all times.
