Ebay 300134684496

I contacted the guy and he said shipping would be 105 Euro. With a buy it now of 69 Euro, that brings this tripod in well under 300 US dollars. Id buy it but I need more clutter like I need a hole in my head. Besides, I still have to get my gun finished!

Dont these things go for about 400 here CONUS?

yeah, but you don't have to screw around with import forms when you buy it here.....

Does the buyer have to mess with those forms? I thought only the seller did? I bought a CD from England once and it was shipped right to me. Yeah, I know, apples to oranges.....

the buyer has to fill out the form and have it approved... Form 6 I believe? The guys who buy from Marstar in Canada have to fill out a form...

I don't know if things have changed in 4 years, but I bought a tripod from Mike Long in England and had it shipped with no problem. The last time I talked to Marstar they said they could send accessories not parts. All I was looking for was a screw and spring for the 42

maybe that's the deciding factor then. I thought anything that was former military equipment needed a form.

Or maybe I got lucky. Imagine that.

Well, I dont need it, I just thought somebody here could benefit from it. Now where can I get a 50 round drum for cheap??

If you want .308 I have some for 8mm try mg34.com

I bought one of the tripods, I emailed them last night, got a fast response and sent payment. got an email today it is being shipped. It is supposed to be in like new condition for $295.00 delivered.

Yeah, when I emailed him he was quick to get back to me.

Military equipment, including accessories, are controlled under ITAR. You need a Form 6 to import according to the letter of the law.

When they arrive can someone pass comment on them and the service from the vendor. I am thinking of getting one for my M53. Only $170 shipped to the UK I suppose there had to be some advantage living over here.

Well impatience struck and I have ordered both this and the AA tripod he was selling. $240 for both is practically giving them away, it would have been rude not to buy them. I will post some pics when they arrive I wonder who will get theirs first?

I am hoping mine will show up this week.

I am closer BUT I have the Royal Mail hindering/stealing/breaking/loosing I mean delivering mine. I have no idea where to put them when they do get here though.

There was no Royal Mail involvement so they both arrived to day at 13:00. Just off to play and take pics to post later.

ps you wont be disappointed they look really good.

Well everything works ok. The rubber is a bit perished and I think there will be some cleaning of the contacts needed but the lights do work. Optics look great and have a cleaning kit included. I honestly don't think this has been used. It uses D cell batteries I thought it would be some weird military only battery. They come packed in shredded paper and that is what all the dust is. And might I add HOW F'in HEAVY I pity the fool that had to carry any of these tripods.
