Sagar,

is it a serious post or serious website or someone is making fun by creating a portal for their project works ? or its just a scam ??? Because I am not ready to believe, that I can get a Night Vision Rifle Scope, or a Mossberg 12ga barrel or Win .38Spl 158 Grain Semi wad cutter online while sitting at the comfort of my home and paying through my Credit Card and that too in indian currency and that too with out any paperwork !!!!! :shock: I did not checked the whole website but there are many things which is just not possible selling online like this. Regarding AirSoft and Airrifle part , I appriciate if someone can offer this facility to indian buyers (though the prices are pretty much on the higher side , not sure how many of us will be interested to buy 9$ RWS-Meisterkugeln at a price of 962/tin)

So that means Now I can buy AirArms, Beeman or FWB or RWS rilfe for some of even in .22 caliber from this site if I have enough cash ready to burn :roll:

Regards
Saptarshi

Hi Vikram,

20North does exist as I know its owner and was supposed to beta test the site before it went online. I did not.

Whether he can clear some of the goodies on offer remains to be seen. I personally feel that some of the items being offered will most probably cause grief.

I am not sure if they can offer products in India at these prices. I am talking of a couple of knives particularly....

Also, a couple of feedbacks given at the bottom of some items indicate that the buyers did not receive their products at all....

OK, figured out the deal... please compare the reviews at

http://www.amazon.com/Smith-Wesson-CK5T ... geNumber=2

and

http://www.20north.com/Smith-Wesson-CK5 ... B000UUV1EY

It becomes clear that these chaps are merely taking orders and passing them on to the stores at Amazon.com, some products come through customs and some don't.... I guess any sensible person may as well place his/ her order directly with Amazon, unless they specifically want to pay only in Rupees. I guess it's up to individuals where they want to spend their money.

Cheers!
Abhijeet

I think the only real verification would be if someone buys from them and then sees what happens... If this thing really works, we should see a substantial dip in the asking prices for many items being sold on our for sale section here ;)

Thanks.

Hello Olly,
As a caution,
Please do not order anything costly.
We still don't know much about the deals from this site.
Thanks.

Is there a way we can go and get the stuff from the bangalore office rather than ordering in the site...

Reminds me of what penguins do to test for sea-lions... they all wait till one of them gets pushed over and see... if everything is fine, all jump in... else they try at another place..... :mrgreen:
