Yes...I know...red flags galore, and ringing bells. I'm continuing in order to ascertain their validity or lack thereof. If it's anything like their description, and nobody's in a hurry, it may be that we can get something going. If it is revealed to be smoke and mirrors, I'll bait them until I get tired of it. As far as anyone's being able to extract a hefty sum from me, even without flim-flam, well, let's just say I'm in a very safe position now.
Tony Wells has forwarded contact info to me for one Ricardo Birsa, who is the Argentinian firearms exporter. Here's his company's contact info, and the references he supplied: Quote:

David,
He references FGS as a buyer. They do move a lot of WW2 pistols and have a good reputation. Check with them. Perhaps he missed a spell check or did he really move to Arghentina. From 68 years of battered experience, "if it sounds too good to be true, it is". Hope you get that GI Tgun mag. Let us know if it works. Best to you, Vince |

I'll be in Buenos Aires the week of October 8, but not sure what kind of time I'll have. I can certainly make local inquiries...

David,
Glad to hear that you were able to locate a couple of nice original TSG mags at your local gunshow. They are made very well, and hopefully they will solve your problem. Keep us informed. |
