kresk 10,063 Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I smell a scam?? They are a legit outfit and have been around for a while. It's just a little disappointing they haven't gotten back to say what is or isn't going on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
warthog 1 Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 I've bought a lot of stuff from them actually. I've not had any problems from them other than their being flakey on communication. That said, I'd buy a ten pack if and when this happens. I already have an account on the keepshooting website too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mp5man 1 Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 I'm in for a 10 pak as well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkside 0 Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Yeah I would buy at least 5 but probably 10. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mccumber1916 1 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Hey Guys, Have a question for all of your Saiga-12 fans. We have been offered a large quantity of Saiga-12 magazines, they are 5rd mags made available to us by a foreign exporter. In order for us to be able to purchase them, we have to take at least 10,000 pieces. The good news is, at that quantity we could offer then brand new for $19.95 each in singles, and offer quantity discounts for higher purchases. Now here is the interesting thing. If we purchase the 10,000 5rd magazines, we will then be able to purchase a smaller--but still significant--number of 8rd magazines and be able to offer them at this deep-discount level of pricing. So of course we are interested in buying the 10,000 mags, but need to make sure we aren't going to get stuck with them in our warehouse for a year or more. So if you had the chance to buy say a 10 pack of 5rd magazines for $149.95 or singles at $19.95 would there be any interest? I will be donating to the forum as "payment" for your feedback. Thanks, -Brian well the price on the site is still 50 some odd bucks... but hell i would like some 5 rounders for dif. loads... i'm in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
darkside 0 Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Has anyone tried contacting this guy outside of the forum to see if this offer might actually go anywhere? I'm thinking about calling the number on their website or something Quote Link to post Share on other sites

warthog 1 Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 (edited) In fact, I just sent them another email. I'll let you know if Brian has any reply to me if he doesn't post one here. Edited April 13, 2007 by warthog Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mbsk01 0 Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 I'd buy at least a couple 5s at that price. I would like to see some 10rd .410s too....... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

warthog 1 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 Well, after a week of silence and after sending them a couple emails, I'd say Brian was blowing smoke up our collective asses. Thanks Brian! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MikeD 541 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 Well, after a week of silence and after sending them a couple emails, I'd say Brian was blowing smoke up our collective asses. Thanks Brian! He hasn't logged back in since he posted this thread. I'm kind of wondering if he has even came back as a guest to view the replies. Not a good buisness practice. It only took a few minutes for him to post. But if you was to add up all the time it took for the forum members to place all there reply, send their emails and PMs, read the posts of others hoping that somewhere is the middle he would have an update....... Like warthog said, "Thanks Brian!" Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AK-308 2 Posted April 24, 2007 Report Share Posted April 24, 2007 (edited) I got no response to my email sent over a month ago. Whether this is a marketing ploy or a legit effort to guage the market, I don't care to buy anything from them if this is the way they run their business. People are going to make purchasing decisions based on whether they will take on this deal, but they don't think hundreds/thousands? of potential customers sitting on their hands is worth a quick reply or update? Piss poor business conduct in my book. Edited April 24, 2007 by AK-308 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Conju 2 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 I just got off the phone with Joyce @ keepshooting.com. I inquired about this specific offer and I have some very useful information. It seems the mags are coming! These are NOT Izmash made magazines, I've been told they're being manufactured by one of their suppliers in china. She went on to tell me that the suppliers have made several magazines for keepshooting.com, including a Thompson drum mag. I asked her if the mags were going to be polymer and the same design as the current 5rders, she said she didn't know I also inquired about the 8rd mags and she said that they are going to be getting a batch of those as well. The mags should be here in 3-4 months. I had my name put on a mailing list for updates and will keep everyone here posted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

G O B 3,516 Posted May 24, 2007 Report Share Posted May 24, 2007 It seems that part of our Saiga addiction is an insatiable desire for mags. Maybe we are really mag collectors that have found the ultimate platform to use mags in? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

She went on to tell me that the suppliers have made several magazines for keepshooting.com, including a Thompson drum mag. Wow, I wasn't aware that Chinese semi-auto gun parts could be imported again. I know the pump action shotguns are somehow exempt, but if magazines are now ok to bring in, I hope chinese AK mags also flood in soon. However, I just do not think anything has changed and there is some mistake with contracted Chinese Saiga mags. If Izmash has actually used Chinese manufacturers to make their mags, this could be a huge issue in regards to the Clinton Chinese weapons ban.

This was one of my first thoughts when I was on the phone and I actually asked about it. She mentioned something about them being in thailand or an outlying area of china. Sorry I didn't clarify this. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
