I'm watching for new deals. I looked at the current offering and thought "who the hell doesn't have that stuff already?" I was thinking more exotic. AN-94 semi or MP-455. How about a ZOM-PAK though? 5 SKS dirt Friggn cheap and assorted tacticrap.

I can see future posts.They will go like this. Did any of you guys notice the awesome deal Marstar had. It's sold out already but it was sure great. The next 500 posts will say why did he not post the deals on CGN so I could have got in on it.

where did you see the 20 AKs ? how do you know that's all there was?
My best guess after examining the photos, reading posts and asking questions is that there were at least 50 dewat AK-74's imported. Before the actual announcement of the combo I was dubious of the possibility, as erring on the side of caution would suggest that actually putting 50 of these in the hands of Canadians while following all the rules would be a monumental feat requiring years of experience, years of relationship building and no small investment in legal opinion. After I saw the pictures, I actually believed that they were real but that the only way they could be here was if law-enforcement or the military had some actual interest in them.
While the AK-74 may be pretty common in the world, there aren't many in this country (50 + ?). They will never again fire a round but they can now be held/examined/displayed, appreciated by responsible owners.

A lot more than that chief, check out Collectors Source some time. AK's of all flavours, shapes, and colours show up all the time. John happened to get a crate of really nice unissued dewats, so they should be worth more than the usual beat-to-snot expensive parts-kit AK dewats that are out there, definitely make some nice mantle pieces!
AK-47 dewats? Aye, I expect there would be a few of those out there in a variety of conditions and markings. A #### and click 47 would be interesting to hold. I have experienced a #### and click Sten. It was an ugly dewat but it satisfied all the conditions at the time. Its debasement was a tragedy. Big hole in the barrel. Welding marks and slag all over. They used a stick welder without any art. I have spent time at Collectors before. I will go look again.
AK-74's? I don't imagine there has been so many of those. Sure at first glance they are very similar. I hear that the furniture isn't interchangeable.
Here we go again with statements without knowing the facts....
We received a hell of lot more than 20 units....
Since you seem to know so much I would like to hire you to do some purchasing for us.... You seem to have the knowledge and connections....
"a dime a dozen" I will pay you for such information

I see customer service is not in your nature John. I am sure a lot of people here respect you because of what you have done for firearms in Canada but that being said you have no right to talk to people like that. You are always so quick to jump down someones throat and then always take it a step further with some sarcastic statement that is completely uncalled for.
understand the whole customers are always right thing.. but people who are bashing him are just in the wrong as well.. honestly, this is why most industries don't communicate online with customers in this fashion... through forums, because the ridiculous internet slander because you're hiding behind a keyboard is insane.
i would love to see one of these loud mouths spouting off all this #### go into his store and say these things face to face and try to back them up.

Seeing as Marstar is more of a wholesaler/distributor with no bricks & mortar retail store I think they provide better customer service than most on-line retailers. I for one appreciate the little glimpses into the inner workings of Marstar's business afforded by John's post's. Besides that, when you read some of the other comment's in these threads I don't blame John one bit for being sarcastic on occasion. Personally I wouldn't be half as kind or reserved as he is.

All the guy said was it was a nice deal and there was to few of them to go around. That is absolutely no reason to talk to him the way John did. Who cares if the guy was wrong on the amount of packages that were available.

FWIW-
Having been involved in this business previously,all I see is a businessman and owner trying to call out and negate statements that have no basis in fact and to protect his business's reputation. I try not to speak until I have FACTS at my disposal. Even if the poster was correct-that was STILL a helluva deal for those who wished to partake.

Well the "occasions" are way to frequent for my liking. He just rips people apart even rather innocent but slightly misinformed posts. Rather then being rude and sarcastic he could just provide correct information. But that's just my opinion and I do realize times are different now and customer service is lost on this generation.

And the guy said it was a deal he was just wrong on the amount received. Specifically this right here "Since you seem to know so much I would like to hire you to do some purchasing for us.... You seem to have the knowledge and connections....
"a dime a dozen" I will pay you for such information" completely uncalled for.
is it anyones business but Marstar's as to if he wants to state how many packages were made available.. or how many AK's he brought in?

Are you saying that someone can be wrong in their opinion that there was too few to go around?
