Russian SKS45 long thread.

[#1bcshooter]

Ordered on the web site mid-February, spoke to them this week, June has rolled to end of July, according to the lady I spoke to. Never did get a letter in the mail. They'll get here when they get here. *sigh*

I think the boat sank !

(There never was a boat load . Just a conspiracy to sell all that corrosive ammo) LOL

Somewhere out there, a tribe of South Sea Islanders is looking inside a cargo container that's floated ashore and saying, "WTF? Ugly old Russian guns washed up again. Why can't we get a decent load of widescreen TV's?"

 

[shootemup]

Heck, I wouldn't mind being king of a cargo cult that had a few containers of guns...although the wide screens would be a welcome change...

 

[smartbomb]

alright.. when the hell are these coming in? Seriously.

I Dont Know If This Has Been Said Already, But SIR Emailed Me Saying If You Ordered Your Rifle Before May 15 Then It "Should" Becoming In July, If You Ordered After May 15 Then It Should Be Just After July

 

[srnm]

Which Sucks For Me Cause I Was Late Ordering Cause I Wasnt Sure If I Wanted One, So I Finally Decided To Get One And Ordered It May 16, One Day To Late

[Scarecrow]

I still want to know in detail there condition.

 

[molle]

Are we there yet?

 

[lone-wolf]

When/if they do get here. Is any dealer going to have higher priority or something? Or will SIR, Frontier, ect. all get their's at around the same time?

I am reminded of a Simpson Episode where Bart wins an elephant from a radio show.
The elephant was supposed to be a joke prize but Bart wanted his elephant.
He keep yelling at the radio show hosts ‘’where’s my elephant”, “where’s my elephant”.
I feel the same way about this boat load of SKS’s
I have two coming from SIR and one from Frontier, and quite frankly I really don't need any of them.
But damn it, where’s my elephant

I am pretty sure they will all get them at the same time! I heard that they are all on the same boat!
But darn it I want my elephant too!
At least we all know that when they do get here , we will all have one or from what i have been reading on here several!

 

[Swiend]

They in yet?

 

[Curtton]

They in yet?

selling stuff they dont even have ... maybe i should pull a fast one with a scam by selling something in demand ... me thinking ...

they dont even charge the card when you place an order, so what was the point of advertising them before arrival, if they know they're all going to sell regarless. stupid if u ask me. if they charged deposit or full payment for them, just in case theres no demand or whatnot or to pay for them that would be different.

 

[novan3]

My sent cheque to Fontrier has been cashed already; I hope the wait wont be too long..

oh yeah , some scam .... SIR hasnt got a penny from me yet .... they got squat and spent alot of time taking orders .

seriously ... this way is better cos the clerks wouldnt have to spend time taking orders when it arrives so they could be helping out , checking serial numbers, registration, maybe repacking and shipping the product to us. like marlin said "lining up the ducks".

there is a good reason for not charging in advance bcos dealers/importers do not really know what condition they are in till they arrives in the warehouse ... if they are not as advertised then they can advised the buyers as to whether they still want it , rather than reversing the CC thats a massive headache to itself... can you imagine SIR reversing 500 CC?
