Snake oil merchants
Here's what my experience of rainbow8 feels like:
I tried to buy a dog, they sold me a cat and when I complained they said that I should go to a vet and get them to fix the problem as 'some items may need modification'.
I ordered replacement front and rear sights for my TM G18c from them. To their credit, it shipped incredibly quickly from HK; however, the fast shipping isn't enough to save them from the 1 star review.
The sights were completely unfit for purpose.
The sight had two issues:
1) The screw supplied was far, far too short to ever fit into my TM G18c.
2) The screw was completely the wrong thread. This matters on a G18c as it was to fit through the fire select components in the slide and the supplied screw will not because of the threads.
I suspect the rear sight is designed to fit a G17 of a different brand and they're simply listing it as a TM G18c part to sell more of them.
I reached out to Rainbow8 for a refund, with pictures of the problems, and they basically gave me the middle finger, told me to sit on it and spin. They simply waved a disclaimer in my face saying that some parts require modification to fit and may need a gunsmith. Frankly, they shouldn't be advertising it as fitting a specific model of gun if it doesn't. They try to use this blanket disclaimer about 'some parts may need modifying' to cover themselves when they're basically just selling random parts to people which will never fit the guns they are advertising as fitting.
Aside from a refund, they have also explicitly refused to even exchange the product and basically said it's my problem now.
Getting a gunsmith to modify this would be extremely costly and because it needs rethreading, I doubt it's even possible because of the small size.
I would avoid at all costs. There's no telling what you're getting with these guys. They just seem to send any old thing out and then surprise surprise, it doesn't fit and they wont help you in any way.
I have since opened a paypal dispute in an attempt to get my money back.
