Aim Surplus and Southern Ohio Gun have both been very good to me for almost 10 years with C&R items.

Also, Smith & Wesson, Ruger and Dillon have always been there to help.Fine customer service.
 
Optics Planet (multiple overseas purchases and only one delay because an item wasn't in stock).
Harris Bipods (although they don't ship to the UK, they have given us good service with local bipod purchases. I have two x BRM bipods with the flat fore-end adapters)
Comp-Tac
APW Cogan (I had 9 magazines Cerakoted with them, top service)
Black Dog Machine (although they don't ship to the UK, they have given us good service with local magazine purchases)
 
Over the years I've had product issues with Ruger, Leupold, Savage, and RCBS. It is hard to say which company did a better job, but all of them resolved the issues. It is great! Too bad the same can't be said for car companies:(
 
In my experience, of the 15+ defective firearms and/or (related accessories) that I have purchased, the following companies were excellent to deal with:

Colt (firearm)
DPMS (firearm)
Leupold (accessories)
Ruger (rifle stock)
Springfield Armory (accessories)
T/C Arms (accessories...and I, yes I created the damage, not T/C Arms)
Weatherby (rifle)
Winchester (firearm)

STI out of Georgetown, TX. I've been a junkie of their 1911s/2011s for years and they've always gone above and beyond for me. When they say "lifetime warranty" they mean it.
 
I've had great experiences with:
Redding: I had a part break while I was reloading and sent them email. They said they know it happens (it was a decapper pin and sometimes they just get off axis and break when pressed) and sent me three replacements. They also noted that if they break in the future, just let them know and they will replace them.
H&K: now this is great because of the web meme that (H&K) says, 'You suck. And we hate you'. In fact, I had a non-trivial ka-boom with, of all things, the mighty P7M13. I few bits of flying brass, blackened arm, and a flying ejector (that part's complicated - but TMI). No real harm though. But it was with a gun show reload (lesson learned). They could have said, 'You suck. The manual states not to use reloads. Oh, and we hate you'. But in fact they paid for shipping, free parts and repair, total cycle time from when it left my hands to when I had it back was 5 days. They also fully serviced the gun, shot off some functional test rounds, and sent a nice note back apologizing, citing the work they had done, and adding that it was in excellent condition and to contact them if I needed anything in the future. I definitely didn't feel like I suck. I've since purchased seven other H&K's.
Contrast this with the other thread on the Remington trigger recall (and R51 comments). Half in the thread state that they are doing what they have to do and expecting more condemns one as part of the 'taker' generation. This thread proves that by doing the right thing for the customer ensures that customers will keep coming back.

I have a Ruger Blackhawk .41 mag. One day the grip frame broke off under recoil. I asked Ruger to put a steel grip frame on it. They did. It should have come from the factory that way. Much nicer to shoot. Very satisfied with their response.
 
Fella's;

I'm in firm agreement with B!ngo about H&K. I've never had a problem with one of their guns, but did have work done by them. They added the ambi operating lever to my USPc. The point is, they did the work in minimum time, at a very reasonable cost, returned all the old parts & sent a note they certainly didn't have to on the condition of the gun. Good folks to deal with as far as I'm concerned. The "You suck and we hate you" phrase is pure libel IMHO.

In ten years, I have had to contact brownells CS about four times. Two were vendor related, and they went further to make it right than they should have. One was a combination of a shipping SNAFU, and bad neighbors.

They genuinely screwed up once and sent me a wrong part. When I called, the CS rep asked if the correct one needed to go out overnight, I declined. So she said it would be sent out priority mail out that day, just send the other back when convenient.
