Who are Hornadyarmory.com
Table of Contents
Fake gun and ammunition scammers are posing as online retail storefronts and aiming to steal your cash and personal information with too-good-to-be-true ammo deals and offers. Scammers will ask for payment by insecure means such as Paypal (Friends and Family), Zelle, CashApp or even Bitcoin. They will refuse secure methods of payment such as cash in person or GunTab.com
GunScams.com aims to disrupt these scammers by exposing their fake websites online so that you can learn to avoid them.
Non Delivery Scams like Hornadyarmory.com follow a simple format which allows the criminal to steal money from their victims in multiple ways.
The criminals will first create a website or online page from which they will “sell” their goods. They will often offer weapons for sale on gun forums.
The scammer will then introduce you to the secondary “shipping” website which will have been created by the scammer. These websites can be very professional and will allow you to log in to see your item being shipped.
The scammer can then charge you for multiple other items such as made up import permits, police fees, etc.

The Sale: Scammers create professional looking websites or advertise on gun forums. They often offer weapons for low prices. No matter how scarce, they have multiple in stock.
The Shipping: Even though they have no intention of sending you anything, they will continue charging you more and more fees until you refuse to pay any more. Depending on what you are buying, they may then try to blackmail you. The shipping website they use will be another website they have created as part of the scam.
Payments: Paying for guns, accessories, and ammo online is difficult. All payment platforms like PayPal, Venmo, and Zelle prohibit these transactions. Criminals will refuse to use GunTab.com as an escrow service as it protects both buyers and sellers.
How can I help?
Scammers use bank accounts, Zelle accounts and other assorted payment types. Let us know the details and we will try and shut down their accounts.
Our goal is to gather as much information as possible about Hornadyarmory.com and the individuals behind it. By providing us with details about the criminals, we can create a comprehensive understanding of the scammer’s network and take steps to shut it down.

Hornady quickly secured contracts to produce other products like condenser cans for the government. After the war, the technology developed for these alternative products was used to make ultra-thin copper jackets for the Hornady varmint ammunition. Hornady continued to grow and in 1971 acquired the Pacific Tool Company, moving the operation closer to home and developed the 105 Shotshell press. Hornady kept growing and soon began to focus on revolutionizing the ammunition market. Using research started by the US Army, the Hornady ballistics lab helped develop a bullet with a more aerodynamically efficient ogive that became the signature profile of Hornady bullets. By the end of the 20th century, Hornady Bullets had grown from the garage in Nebraska to a full ammunition component manufacturer. Continuing on the quest for better bullets, Hornady Bullets worked closely with propellant manufacturers to produce high powered, high velocity rounds without increasing the pressure. This development garnered attention from gun manufacturers that wanted to chamber their firearms for maximum performance. This culminated to the 2002 development of something totally new to the Hornady family of bullets, the 17 Hornady Magnum Rimfire, or HMR. Hornady is also the developer of the popular 17 HMR and 17 HM2 rimfire cartridges, popular for small game and varmint hunting. 2023 Hornady Armory. All rights reserved
