[#1bcshooter]

that's what SIR told me...

& when you call in July they will tell you by the end of Aug ,or was that Sept

 

[edyshok]

Then I will sell you mine for $700

Well, first I will sell mine for $1200 and then I'll buy yours for $700

 

[Millow]

July is getting closer... maybe we'll have our SKS's soon?

Uh huh. Just like I thought in march, april, june. Hate to know how long the dealers have been waiting.

From the information I have received it seems to be an export issue that is holding up the shipment. There are a few parties at work trying to finish off this deal and believe me, they are doing their very best to get the rifles here ASAP. However from all accounts buying container loads of guns over seas is a complicated and long process. For those who had orders in prior to May 1st are 99% guaranteed to receive a rifle. In the even event that we are short shipped the first batch we may not be able to provide enough rifles for those who booked after May 1st. I appreciate the patience of everyone who has put in orders as it has been several months since they were expected to be here.

I thought that everyone knew the correct answer to any "when" question, - Two Weeks!
Seriously though, it's very hard to predict anything in the gun business.

 

[lone-wolf]

I hope the news papers aren't aware of the shipment. Then soon it will be "Boatload of Russian Assault Weapons Bound for Canada: Expected next month" headlines everywhere and the anti-gun nutz will kick up a stink and then we'll never see them.

Mid-July huh... I wonder how accurate that is this time. Ah well, I'll wait...
I do have an itch though, and that itch can only be scratched by ordering another rifle and a case of ammo.

 

[bushwacker]

I placed my order for one of those russian guns

 

[novan3]

The trick is to forget about it so when it arrives it'll be like your birthdays' on Xmas!

[aftermidnight]
