LOL. Yet again, another sarcastic response from JOHNONE. I have read many of your replies to other people so I am not surprised. Thanks for the un-neccessary sarcasm and demeaning attitude. I'm not pissed or hating by the way... I actually find it rather amusing.
Since you asked John, let me answer your questions...
I read an old thread regarding this issue here on CGN. It was under your forum but you must have forgotten about it. I had a link to this in my previous post which you did not see so here it is again FYI...
http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?552999-i-have-just-received-FSN-01F
Was this sarcasm necessary John? Really? Obviously I have not examined the rifles that you have in stock otherwise I wouldn't have had to ask you in your forum.
I understand that you like to make a distinction between refurbished guns vs guns that are redone using "new and surplus" parts. However you want to name it, I was simply wondering if it the reason these FSNs are selling so cheap is beacuse of a poorer quality or condition. Semantics aside, I know you use "special" SKSs for your $75 combo deals so I was simply wondering if these are "special" FSNs.
The reason I assumed they were refurbed or rebuilt using new and surplus parts is two fold:
(1) I read it in the previous thread listed above which was started by your previous customer who was voicing his discontent about the poor quality of the rifle. You did offer a refund but I don't want to waste your time or mine by buying something and returning it. I was just wondering if these are a new batch of FSNs or just the same ones you are trying to get rid of?
(2) because I specifically asked you if they were new vs refurbed but you did NOT respond (despite responding to other questions). As such, is it not logical to assume that you did not answer my question because they are NOT new and ARE refurbished or rebuilt? But like I said before, CORRECT ME IF I'M WRONG... I DONT KNOW AND THATS WHY I ASK...
The issue here FOR ME is the fact that I have NEVER bought any corrosive surplus ammo since there are non-corrosive options for a marginally higher price. This is a personal choice because I am very busy (read lazy) and don't always clean my guns the same day. Because I don't shoot a everyday, I can justify paying a small premium to afford me this luxury of not cleaning every time after a trip to the range. Plus I recently stocked up on a few crates the non-corrosive stuff in the form of a CZ 858/ammo combo from CanAm anyways (which was also a crazy good deal esp with free shipping) so that obviously plays into my purchase decision. My personal preference is for non-corrosive ammo and I don't understand why is that offensive to you. Additionally it is not about the RISK or just $1 here John because the fact is I would have to buy and find a place to store 3 crates of this corrosive stuff which I normally don't shoot, just to buy a refurbed or rebuilt FSN for $1.
Depending on how much you end up charging for shipping 3 crates and a rifle, and especially for those who live close to your store, I can see that this package could potentially be a good deal for those who don't mind corrosive ammo. I'm sure they're going to have a great time with their new toys and I hope to see pics and hear details about them. That said, if what they bought is in fact a refurbed or frankengun as was claimed in the other thread, I think some of them would want to or benefit from knowing that info as well. If they are new old stock, then they got an even better deal for sure!
You know, I am not a business man myself so forgive my ignorance but I've been around long enough to know that criticizing your potential customers does not typically work in your favor. I'm glad that your business is doing so well to not need new customers because given the way you like to repond here on CGN, I really don't really feel like letting you make that $1 (or any other $$$$$$) off of me anyways.
Best of luck to you and your business.

Worse than getting an order in, seeing it processing then getting an update saying sold out?
Nope that sucks more haha.
Keep up the good work John. Lots of March left to blow out.
Agreed. Lets have a true March Blow-Out, maybe with a little more notice next time - even if quantities are still ubber low.
