StG 44

Since you're writing from Ontario...you also have to take into account the time it takes for the Ontario CFO to actually approve the transfer of a restricted firearm into your name....it has taken up to 3+ months before the Ontario CFO got their act together. For the most part, average wait times are about 2-3 weeks. Maybe a little faster for dealer initiated transfers. You definitely need to chill out dude.

x2 alas the Ontario CFO is very busy with transfers and I have it that they are under-staffed, as many government offices are. The wait is just something that we have to live with until things get better
 
Gee, not all gun shops work that way...

Payment will be divided into 4 equal monthly charges of $749.75 plus tax to your credit card. The first charge will occur as soon as we ship your Tavor. The following three charges will occur in one month intervals. If any one payment is declined the total remaining amount will come due immediately.

Oh, so you think it's no big deal to be paying interest on your credit card for over $3400 for a couple of months, for something that isn't even yours yet.... cuse that's just what you said.

Gee, must be nice to have that kind of money to throw away...

You don't start paying interest until after the grace period,which is usually a month or so.

You didn't have to use a credit card to pay, you could have just used a MO, if you wanted to avoid any chance of incurring interest.

No, if you already have a balance on your card, the interest starts the day of the purchase. You don't pay any interest if you pay the whole thing off before the grace period each month. Ususally I do this, but I've had some rather large purchases the past 2 months, so I have not been able to do this.

Oh yea I could of sent a MO, but just like some of you have said, but I may not get my rifle for a month or two. So if it's no big deal to some of you, you can lend me the $3400+ next time, and I pay you back when the gun show!!! There is no reason the charges have to be put on my card before the gun is sent. For those that don't know, when I bill someone at our office and the transaction if refused with Visa, we know it right there and then. So what's the big deal??? (some may say, well then the guns in your name, and they don't have their money.... well then they give me a call, and if I can't pay, they just phone CFC and cancel the transfer, it's happened in the past, as I've cancelled a transaction for a rifle after it was transfered to me, and the dealer said no problem.(I'd purchase about 4 other rifles off him at the same time)

Anyway, enough of this pissing contest, I know now I should of just kept my mouth shut, and just phoned them this moring, but hey, I get pissed once in a while too. I never ment to imply that Marstar was billing me and just holding my gun for the fun of it. I'll be calling them today to sort this out, one way or the other.....

I want to apoligize to Marstar (John) and those that suggested that I chill (you were right) I know I should have never put my beef online before I called them, but the Devil made me do it. I've talked to John, and accepted his explanation for what has been happening the past few weeks. :redface:

My Bad, Very Sorry all for being a bit of DINK!!
 
I honestly do expect about a month delivery time on restricted guns or anything with a 4 digit or less serial number in ontario. the Ontario CFO has set those as parameters for stuff requiring provincial approval and the businesses are at their mercy.

Marstar is in Ontario, so... ;)

As for the CC thing... do some ppl actually pay interest and run balances???

OK folks, Sgt Striker was kind enough to call me this AM, I explained what the problems are, he was gracious enough to accept this and end the matter here and now.
Much easier when we talk directly,
Thank you for being up front
John
 
Claven2 -- I've never seen one here -- that said I'm not in Baghdad anymore -- and even if I was around there Idont go for walks in Sadr city ;)
I'll ask some of the locals but I don't hold a lot of hope.
 
Not wanting to let this great thead die :rolleyes: .... Would anyone here (nudge nudge wink wink) happen to know if Marstar will be bring in spare parts kits and extra mags for the BD44? (know what I mean, know what I mean.... say not more, say no more) :D
