kresk 10,063 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I am posting this on behalf of Andy Cranch, a Saiga enthusiast in Auckland, New Zealand. He sells the 12g 8 round mags as well as other Saiga items. You may have seen some of his listings on Bay or GunBroker in the past, but he says he doesn't always have time to post auction items. I have dealt with him on several occasions and he is extremely reputable and excellent in his communications. Shipping has been prompt. I am not associated with him in any way but just passing along the info. He welcomes inquiries at andy.cranch@xtra.co.nz. Link to post Share on other sites

kresk 10,063 Posted May 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 how much does he usually charge for 8 rounders? Have seen them go for different prices depending on circumstances, i.e. auction, single mag pruchase vs. multiple mags, returning customer, etc. You'd best email for specifics.

Ruffian72 548 Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Andy Cranch has been good to do business with. I'm a regular customer. Had 40 8rder's available as of this time yesterday. As Tritium said, price varies a little, yet quite a bit cheaper than open auctions lately. Link to post Share on other sites

surfmaster 5 Posted May 21, 2006 Report Share Posted May 21, 2006 Has anyone ever had a problem with the 8 rounders cleaning Customs? I ask since the mags are coming from New Zealand. Thanks in advance for your comments. Link to post Share on other sites

kresk 10,063 Posted May 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2006 Total shipping time?? Like from order to receipt how long did it take?? TIA Last order took about 2 weeks. Takes a week to get through NZ and clear customs there first. You will see the paperwork when you receive the package. Link to post Share on other sites

KTR03 0 Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I ordered mine about the same time frame and have yet to get any. The tracking also isn't working. Based on everyone else's experience, I'm not concerned yet, but I surely do want my mags... D I ordered mine about the same time frame and have yet to get any. The tracking also isn't working.

Ruffian72 548 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Recieved 3 more yesterday. he is good at replying if asked on delay. This order was delayed about 7 to 10 days due to export permits. Gov. slow at times and was a holiday down there. Ordered on 17 May 06. As stated above, usually 9 to 15 day.

tomovich 0 Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 I also finally ordered one and he e-mailed me saying he'd received my check. Just waiting now.................. Link to post Share on other sites
headshot 52 Posted June 14, 2006 Report Share Posted June 14, 2006 I have dealt with ANdy. He's a real straight shooter, and items are sent quickly. He is very pleasant to deal with. how much does he usually charge for 8 rounders? He starts bidding on GB at 95 bucks. Shipping is usually about 25 dollars. Link to post Share on other sites
vichy 0 Posted June 18, 2006 Report Share Posted June 18, 2006 I'd just like to vouch for Andy Cranch. I bought three mags from him off gunbroker.(8's) The shipping took about a three weeks, but I got them in the original wrappers, brand new. With insurance(I recommend it) shipping and the original price of $110 it cost about $375. I know that sounds like a lot, but I looked really hard for a better deal and have not seen it. by the way, it sounds like Tony Rumore is the guy to go to for mods, right? now if I could only find those pesky 10 rd 410 mags:cryss: Link to post Share on other sites
