He's referring to this. Short story, guns seems to be repainted before it was shipped out to the buyer, and some are pissed off.

taylorvw, if you are planning to get a UTG AEG, I suggest you save up a bit more. UTG is decent as a 2nd tier brand, but if you plan to get serious in airsoft, I'd suggest saveup for a 1st tier brand like TM, CA, ICS, G&P, etc. It might be hard to justify an AK for $500 instead of $250, but it's well worth it. UTG internals are TM copy but using a parts more on the cheap side, so in the long run, all the internal maintenance and upgrade is going to cost you more than that $250 you save.

Get age-verified, and buy from anyone on the Canadian Retailer's list.
If they dont have the gun listed, email them and ask.

If someone gives you weird stories, go with another supplyer.

Also, once you get age-verified you can look at the Classifieds and see if there's anything reasonable there. I bought a second-hand upgraded Steyr AUG there for cheap. ($385 after shipping). It works fine, no faults yet.

Sam won't have any guns in in the near future because of some problems that have arose.

But I will backup that he is definately a reputable retailer and is not in the game to pull one over on you. As for the orange guns, that was done for one shipment and will not be done again, though, buyers were informed of the gun's state.

There is a review or two in the review section of his store. He was removed from the Canadian Retailers list not because of bad practices, but after customs rouble and a (hopefully) temporary closing due to the problems that arose.

ASCA, top right of the screen. Those new FMU CA guns are a steal at those prices.

No.

Only in the states. ASCA and A&A Surplus has the best priced CA guns around. XP has them too for awesome prices, but best to get them in a preorder to save the cash.

The ones Sam had were cheaper more.. entry level AEGs. For the under budgeters.

Unless it's used or a GBB pistol you won't get anything decent for $300, so i suggest you do as you have been advised and save up for a TM or something.
