I've decided I've gotta have me a couple cheap Norinco oistols,so where do I buy,Marstar or Can-Am?I see Marstar has a larger seelction.I want the 1911 2 tone,and maybe a 9mm of some sort for the wife to play along with. She's got tiny hands,so the 1911 may not fit.Are both of these reputable companies to deal with?
Marstar or Canada Ammo

From Marstar's web site,
Norinco M-1911A1 'Sport Model' (Two-Tone) .45 ACP
Norinco's New M-1911A1 'Sport Model' (Two-Tone) .45 is made true to the original: featuring forged steel construction for superior strength, chrome-lined barrel for longer bore life. Many "extras" have been added in an effort to make this model more appealing to the serious pistol shooter.
Comes with two magazines
1911A1-Sport-TT (click image for availability and additional information) $349.00
Canam's price is also $349.00
If you are in BC Can am charges provincial tax which is about what Marstar charges for shipping so the cost is about the same.
In the past Marstar was selling with one mag but they do say 2 with the two tone.
Both Company's are good to deal with but CANAM is suffering from growing pains right now and may not be as organized as Marstar at this time....

Marstar is out of 1911A1 Two tone ones. CanAm has them in stock (the blued ones as well) and yes, free shipping and if you live outside of BC, no provincial tax. My bill came up to $366. Only problem is the process takes longer than anticipated. My oder form has been lying on some pile and forgotten for a couple of week so I will still have to wait another couple of weeks for it to ship. Of course, my credit card was charged two days after placing the order but then the order was...for lack of better word, misplaced. I find it surprising that they charge your card before it ships. I deal with a lot of internet companies but CanAm is the first that charges immediately upon placing the order. But perhaps firearms orders is a bit of a different story....

CanAm may have it in stock but you will get one faster from Marstar even if it has to come from China . If you believe all the threads complaining about CanAm's service lately
But those threads keep disappearing so it must be my imagination
LOL

I ordered early Jan from Canada Ammo... got my 1911 2 months later last week. it was the wrong one I ordered - they sent me two tone instead of black. I sent 2 emails, no response.
I just want a black 1911.. hopefully I'll get one by June, but now I have to go through the hassle of transferring it back to them and shipping it

I'm happy with the service, I've used both Marstar and CanAmmo.
CanAmmo has been swamped with orders for thr $99 pistols, but tehy bring in the interesting stuff before marstar so if their prices are a little higher thats to cover off the risk of being first.
Look at some of the past imports thta went bad, marstar M1 garands still sitting in containers somewhere, the new VZ's getting clasified as a varient. and the T97's now getting held up. Someone thinks that they should be prohibited because of the bullpup stock, I bet.

You will get a lot of answers to this one because no matter how many of us tell you, there will always be disagreement. I'll just say that if you aren't home when the package arrives and they leave a notice (which never says who it's from), many people would go to the post office, pick up the package (remember packages are signed for before they hand it to you) and they would take their sealed parcel home to be opened after you are in the privacy of your own space. Then you find out who it's from and what it is.

Why would there be a temp ATT in the box . You bought the gun from a dealer . The dealer shipped the gun to you . The post office or courier delivered it to your residence . No ATT req
Are you talking about a transfer notice ?
Don't know, don't care, just relating my experience. When you buy a restricted firearm at a store they do the transfer, which always takes a couple of days, and they arrange a short term att so you can take it home. Canadaammo does the exact same thing.
