Norc M-14's sold with only 1 5rnd mag?

[Teapot]

I bought a M-14S rifle a few days ago. It came with only one short five round magazine. Inside the box the styrofoam had empty cavities to fit at least six 20 round magazines (could be four). Are these rifles actually shipped with just a little 5 rounder or does the shop "appropriate" the other magazines for sale separately? Could it be that each shop decides what items to be included in their order?

 

[bobbynewmark]

then sell mags for an extra $250 on top of original $450 for rifle... so a total of $700 approx

Who did you buy it from?

 

[LordEvilPepper]

ive seen it lots, quite a few shops grab the 20 rounder and sell it for an extra $50, Ive even seen the cleaning kits grabbed and sold for an extra $15

 

[Mark-II]

The one I got just came with a 5 rounder. It was a $399 special.

I plan to use charging clips anyway, so why do I need extra mags, especially a bulky neutered 20 rounder?

Got the sling and cleaning kit though

Came from Jo Brook, BTW. Last dec

Both my reg and shorty came with a 5 and a 20 each. Both had cleaning kits and a cheesy sling.

 

[romurra]

mine came with a 5/5 and a 5/20, cheap sling and cleaning kit and about a litre of thick motor oil in the bag.

 

[fenceline]

Canam sent me mine with two 5/20 round mags.

 

[deagle2008]

canam sent all three of mine with 2 5/20 on each rifle

 

[Northman999]

I've bought one that came with a 5, and one that came with a 5 and a 5/20.

Honestly, I don't know what they leave the factory packaged with.

Got mine from Al Simmons in Hamilton.
The more gun shops that hammer customers the more they are doing for the anti-firearm league in my opinion. Their short term gain is their long term loss.

 

[Odd Shot]

I bought a shorty from Can Ammo and a full length from Lever Arms. Both came with two 5/20 rd mags, as per the web advertising

 

[Lost...again]

Stayin away from Al Simmons then.
He did himself a big favour there.

 

[WhereIsBeef]

I bought mine a Gagnon's and it only came with a five rounder. I read that they are selling 5/20's though...

 

[Miller854]

same here got mine at Al Simmons and only got 1 5 rounder

 

[Kayser Sose]

Got my rifle with a 5'er and a 20/5'er, plus sling and the rest a couple of years ago...

So if nothing's changed, y'all's getting shafted to the tune of one mag. And the ###ier one, to boot!

 

[Blegend]

Not always the retail shop. Probably done at the importer/wholesalers.

 

[Teapot]

It seems retailers are not being honest.

 

[Silverback]

I bought my shorty from Canada Ammo and it came with a cleaning kit, sling and 5/20 magazine, then I bought a 5 round magazine off CGN. I never remove the 5 rounder it as I load with stripper clips as it is faster and easier and there isn't useless magazine length sticking out the bottom of the rifle.

Mine just arrived from Al Simmons and contained only the five round mag.
