I contacted the local PD on Alphex Firearms, only to find that the company was a legitimate company, however the web page was a scammer using the legitimate company's name. I did a thread on this company and received a number of replies in reference to this company. The officer at the PD told me that the PD and the feds were trying to shut the sight down, however it was still up last I checked. Presently my thoughts are that if the company's reputation is in question, I'll pay extra some place else. When things were tighter than they are right now I paid $59 a pound for 8lbs of 4831SC, "because" I didn't have any. I made the purchase off of Gun Broker, paid a lot more than I ought to have, however the dealer had great feedback and I made the purchase.
