Gentilmen. Do you really think you can get an import certificate from Ottawa for these? Put me in for a small case of G41's.

Where were you 18 years ago?
With the time and logistics of bringing them in and IF it is from Russia, you will die before they get here and what you see and buy is not what you will probably get.
It is not worth the money .period, unless you can syndicate and spread out the risk as they did with the Ethiopia deal.
That took years and a great number of people had fingers in the pie to spread out the risk on that deal and around 1 million ante to get in the game.
The last big score before Ethiopia was Christian Cramner and the Nepal caper of a complete armoury right down to the floor sweepings.
The hoard of what as was there was well known but dealing and moving them took years.
I think Christian said he had known about it and worked off and on on it for around 25 to 30 plus years.
There is kit all over the world but moving it and permits are the problem.
There have been cases where the inventory did not match the shipment and the whole lot was seized.
Remember the shotgun deal out of Vietnam when a ship load of shotguns heading to Canada put into a US port and they were originally US property as the US still have the records of what they lost and gave away in Nam, so the whole lot was seized and sat in bond on the US west coast for years. Legal fees, shipping and customs charges to get them spring priced them out of reach for anyone and a few that were refurbished and sold were astronomical in price and I do not know what happened after that.
It is not a matter of buying it for 85 cents and getting here. THat 85 cents will mushroom to 25 to 30 dollars per unit very quick.
