Airsoft, or the real-Deal?: Soviet Surplus Site

[AK shooter]

My last E-mail got a reply.He stated that it should be there in a day or two.We shall see.Its just wierd to wait so long to ship package #2.

From what I have heard most of the people that are selling the new bakelite mags on the AK forum get theirs from this guy.

Glad to hear! Yeah definitely slower than we're all used to and maybe does some whacky stuff, but as long as you're not in a hurry it's hard to beat the prices.

Not sure why people are still questioning the site's validity or suggesting it's a scam, several people here and on other boards have been more than pleased with their transactions.

Using a domain whois privacy service doesn't make you "linked" to scam sites anymore than accepting Visa makes you linked to porn sites. It's a legitimate service so you don't get bombarded by spam and sales calls from anyone who wants to look up your contact info.

Although I do not fully subscribe to your analogy with Visa, I understand your point.

However, based on their complete registration record (that you cannot see with just a "free" online whois.com service), this is a classic example of utilizing a fastflux network. The basic idea behind fastflux is to have numerous IP addresses associated with a single fully qualified domain name, where the IP addresses are swapped in and out with extremely high frequency, through changing DNS records.

Fastflux networks commonly use whois privacy protection services although such services are used by legitimate registrants. The use of such services offers little in the way of being able to identify a domain as being a member of a fastflux network. It is also important to note the reputations of whois privacy services can be damaged by a high density of fastflux domains.

Privacyprotect.org has proven to be such a high-risk registration service based on ICANN records.

I remain optimistic that everything will work out with everyones goods, but don't understand why you would not want to err on the side of caution considering. I'm not saying you won't receive your goods, I'm just saying if "I" bought anything from him, I'd just rather use your credit-card, name, email, etc......than mine, from what I've been told by someone who had the time & "right" software to look into this fully.

The shipping is based on weight, so you won't really save on shipping unless you were only gonna order one item.

It is cheaper the more you order.
10 mags = 62.50
20 mags = 85.00
30 mags = 107.50
100 mags = 265.00

based on Soviet Russian Military RPK Bakelite 5.45 Mag Magazine 45-rd. metal mags might weigh more. still a good deal

 

[SpeedRacer]

100 mags = 265.00

So, we going in half?

maybe

 

[SpeedRacer]

maybe

$29.14/ea shipped. Even selling them for $40 we'd still be rich beyond our wildest dreams.

That, or we could just make a fort out of them.

I got a little orange note from the mail man today saying they have a package for me at the post office from Ukraine. I will find out soon if I got just the "guts"

Oh and I want in on the bakelite fort!

 

[xobelkcat]

I got my package today and I was happy! I recieved the guts and the body at the same time!

The mag is in very good condition!

Any update? How long did it take to come in after your order was placed?

Hey guys this site is legit and they take paypal as paymet, I ordered the Stock for my khyber pass AK from them and took about 40 days for it to get here, this sites name things as "air soft" so they can pass costums.

I have a dealer in Australia that I use for mole gear and operator belts that sends me stuff packed as "air soft" as well.

 

[madmax4x4]

So my order my not be here till the end of January, dang.

 

[#1bambam]

Still no magbody.The tracking # went to the first package.

 

[eganx]

I just put in an order.....so hopefully it will come through....

 

[#1bambam]

Well my mag body is lost somewhere in America.Or atleast the package he sent is lost. It made it in the U.S.on the 2nd of december.The postoffice is insisting its on its way.

 

[enutees]

bambam, I had the same thing happen with a computer part from Hong Kong. The post office was the responsible party for losing mine as well. Their tracking system is a joke. Mine did show up about 7 weeks after it made it to the US.

 

[madmax4x4]

I got 3 boxes in today. One was beat to hell and had a long rip in it but I got all the parts. Looks good but I got a cheap compass not a fuzzy hat for the free gift

ordered 12-15-10 got it 01-03-11. Not a bad wait

It seems to matter a lot what the Port of Entry was. Certain US cities are horrible for getting mail through. L.A. and Washington D.C. are two of the worst. I've had domestic mail take over 10 days to get to me from those cities while I've had packages from Europe and Israel arrive in as little as 3. New York actually isn't that bad. Packages from Hong Kong enter through L.A. and have always taken forever.

So did any of you receive any kind of email notifying you that your stuff had shipped? Just wondering...since that seems to be the norm these days.....not sure if thats how the roll in Russia though

Nope, no shipping notification. You just place the order and wait.
