I forwarded mine once....it got tossed in the circular file amidst cursing apparently....
It was all going well until they got to the last line....apparently my unavailability until the end of my CF Contract (to ensure pension time!) was not a good closing sentence....
I had lunch with John a couple years later and he shared his "amusement" with me.

K, now that has my curiosity piqued, what exactly do you look for in an employee?
I'm going to guess that some military experience and a pal would be valuable, but it'd be neat to hear something from the horse's mouth...

Since this thread's topic is about European-made M14 variants (and whom the mystery manufacturer would be). Let's see whom made M14's (or Garands, or BM59's) back in the day and may still have the tooling kicking around .... Besides Beretta and Breda (whomever owns them these days) I can't think of any.
As far as the job phishing business is concerned, I once offered my services to John via this board, but failed to followup by sending a resume (I'm still somewhat kicking myself for it as this would pretty much be a proverbial "dream job").
Suffice to say that guys like me with solid customer-service experience, a working understanding of customs policies and procedures, and a basic knowledge of firearm mechanics are probably a dime a dozen. Therefore even IF I was selected for an interview (which is but one of the many steps toward actual hiring in the real world) the chances of actually being hired are/were pretty slim.
Ultimately I didn't make the move and am still somewhat biting myself for it, despite no way to know if the salary, benefit, or retirement package could match what I already have.
I have met John personally on many occasions, as well as most if not all of his (known) Canadian staff and would dare consider any of them friends in a heartbeat. Good people, all of them, nuff said.

The only way I would consider "branches of Marstar" would be franchise agreement....
I am simply too old to look at running more than I already have on my plate....
I am trying to back out of the day to day operations here in Canada and allow some of my excelelnt staff to take over....
Maybe I'll even site back and consider a book....

John,
That's one book I'll buy.
I'm still a bit away from retirement, but it sounds like an interesting idea....next time we bump into each other, I'll buy a coffee and we can chat.

?? Where are your other enterprises?
GNMONTEY;
I'm not certain I understand your question....??
If you mean our history of offshore facilities I can offer a brief summary.... We had an extensive operation in the UK for years, until the gun laws changed so we closed down and moved out....
We ran a warehousing and distribution operation in Norway for a few years until that country pretty well ran out of surplus and unfortunately my bussiness partner passed away....
We were the first western company permitted to open offices in Bulgaria (before the revolution)
we operated there for a couple of years until it was no longer profitable to do so....
By far our largest offshore operations were (are) in the former Yugoslavia, before the war we maintained facilities in almost every republic within that country as a result of the wars we closed down and moved out of Sarajevo, Pristina, Scopia, etc,etc.... We now are centered in a base outside of Belgrade in Serbia.
We are surplus buyers, if goods are offered we try to be there....

Back the OP, Looking forward to getting my hands on a italian m14. If there is a list of pre orders being drawn, please advise. I asked where there were more m14s on the last of the m14s thread and was warned not to be smart, so I figured I'd ask before they were all gone this time.
The history and employment posts were highly entertaining. Write that book please, it'd be something worth reading.
