OK fellas, our container is being delayed in transit through Hong Kong.
How long ? I don't know
Estimated delay ? I don't know that either.
ETA Canada ? I'm afraid I don't know.
Why is is being delayed ? paperwork, paperwork and more paperwork.
BTW, container now over 50% sold....
Don't worry ALL orders on hand will be filled....

Took mine out in the field last weekend, I sited it at the indoor range I belong to after mounting the scope... either my mount or the gun isnt exactly right because I ran out of scope adjustment before I could get it on paper at 25 yards indoors... we had to shim the mount and then I got it dialed in at 25 yards I fired all 25 practice shots at 25 yards threw the same ragged hole... about the size of a looney.
First shot at 100 hit the paper and from then on it never missed the 8.5x11 paper. Next time I go out well push it to 200 and see how it works.
I had some different loads worked up alot of 150 FMJ with IMR 3031 and some 4895
But the gun seems to like 168 match with IMR 3031, fired a nice tight group of 5 shots at 100 yards inside 1.5" inches
UTG mount, leupold 4-12x40, harris swivel bipod with leg notches
Still working on a custom stock... and thinking about modifiying the trigger to something a bit more precised.

Well I must say that's one of the best responses I seen from a dealer lately . Much better than
" Estimated delivery Feb 08 , No March 08 , Sorry April 08 , Now expected May 08, Delivery June 08 , Now July 08 . We now expect delivery Sept 08 ."

PLEASE advise as to when you have received this message ??
I apologize for the innaccurate replies, it is difficult to get exact dates....
I will pass on your comments to the producer, the inland carrier, inland transit permit division of MOD, Chinese Customs Exit permit, the container company, the forwarder, sea going transit permit Authority in Hong Kong.
Maybe next time they will move faster....
Regards
John

Whoa, John.
BCShooter was saying how your answer was a better one than the ones he has received from other dealers.
Relax, buddy.

Sorry John
But like the other guys have said I was referring to other dealers . I liked your estimate on arrival It leaves nothing to complain about .
SORRY GUYS;
Perhaps I misunderstood, another failing I can blame on old age setting in....
BTW, the matter of the SKS (no critique intended) is exactly why Marstar does NOT announce products coming, or take advance orders, or take deposits, to many things can go wrong....
Remember MURPHY is alive and well, he lives in the transport industry and the firearms business, if matters can get screwed up, THEY WILL.
