Slow boat from China docks in November?

OK here is the way it stands as of this week, because our psitols are very late we plan on flying in a couple of thousand to keep us going....
We have scheduled three containers for later this fall....

Like I say thats the current information we have....

Providing the internal transport permits hold, the internal carrier sticks to the schedule, the security escort for the transport remains on schedule, export permits are not contested ,exit customs agrees with everything, then we are out....

Then all that's left is Canadian Customs and the inland carriers here in Canada,

See how simple it is

Is that all? Whats the holdup then?
 
M305's at DARK

:pirate:
Sorry to pirate the thread

I was just visiting the DARK website and they have their M-305/M14S listed as ``in stock``.
The price is a little higher(around $466) but you get three mags + cleaning kit.

I just thought I would mention that for those of you who are waiting and don't want to wait any longer.

I bought mine from DARK a couple of years ago and Roger is great to deal with.

Also I think that he had removed most of the packing grease from mine as it required very little clean-up.:)

The price would be almost identical to marstar then.
Dark has 3 mags 2 5 rnd and 1 20/5 and a cleaning kit + sling
for 465$

marstar has 1 5rnd mag - Dont know about cleaning kit or sling. Possibly?
for 399$

Additional 20/5 mags from marstar are 35$ - Just like dark.
20$ for a 5 rnder.

To get the same deal from marstar as dark offers, it would come to 455$.
Its just the wait issue............I think lots of people will opt for dark, simply becasue of the long wait.

oh well

I think you'r mistaken. The 20 round mag used to be included in the Dark deal, however, according to the website, its now 3 five round mags. 20/5 mags are extra.

Taken from the website:

You are mistaken. I just ordered one from Dark and before doing so confirmed what was supplied. 3 five rnd mags are included but one is a 5/20 and two are short 5's. Also included is a cleaning kit and sling.

my guess....it depends on how many arrives at our shore.....if alot then i dont expect a hike in price.....if not then maybe a small hike due to higher cost of shipping but that will be off set by stronger canadian dollar, in any case im buying.

I hear that Marstar got a load of Norinco 1911's in last week, but apparently the M-14's weren't on that boat :(.

On the other hand, when it does arrive (supposedly this month, according to the last I heard from Marstar), the slow boat will have three containers of M-14's, which is encouraging :).

I Hate to bash our own, not enough of us and hard enough to make a living, but could not agree more, have two guns on order, April 07, June 07, cheek piece for AIA (Oct, 06) never received, changed one gun from one in stock item to another in stock item, no show, no nothing, carrot gone bad, and just give up and move on, no longer even visit the website, no point.

Sorry bashing, but frustration as well, good luck on your M14’s .:(
