not sure why he's not in there. you'd have to ask the admins about that.

Bob the Angry Potato · October 21st, 2005, 21:03

Probably because of obscurity, and the fact his prices are rip-offs, and also the fact I haven't ever heard of a deal with this guy before...

True that some of the prices are high, but you can't say all

ICS M16 A3 - PRE ORDER Price: $499.00

Edit - Wow, I just surfed Trumart and either CanadianAirsoft is all a big scam, full of errors or they have real good prices, a quote from Trumart '1 X ICS-AEG-M16A3 ICS Full Metal M16A3 $800'

I have heard on these forums only good things from the few buyers there is, but one of the main reasons they are not listed I'm sure is that they carry the cheap guns

mcguyver · October 21st, 2005, 23:30

they carry everything. from the $29 springer to a $2500 minimi m249. i've bought all my guns there and never had an issue with price or service. and no his prices aren't errors. there is nowhere in canada that has better advertised prices on ics than they do. i haven't seen anyone else sell a full metal ics m4 for what other guys charge for a tm m4. but price isn't everything. the retailer not only has to have a good price, but have the item in-stock and ready to ship. i had an issue with one of my gbb's recently, and the gun had no wear on it and they just replaced it. i could have repaired myself, but why bother when i can get good service. a retailer who carries cheap guns does not necessarily become a crappy merchant. not all gun sales can be at high profits, unless you like giving your money to someone else when you don't need to. it doesn't hurt either when you can go to retailer that has 30 different aeg's in stock.

Dang ... even the lowest price on ICS Mp5's , I ever seen in Canada.... :tup:

It'd be nice if they had any more info about themselves other than the guns and prices though.
Where are they located?
What kind of payments do they accept?
The site can use some work, but if they join the forum and had feed back for sales from ppl or someone started a thread on who's baught from them and thier experiences than 'm sure after a while and building a good reputation they could just talk to an admin about getting put on the list.
It'd proebably help thier business out.

mcguyver · October 22nd, 2005, 00:13

from what i've seen they seem to have a loyal following. not all airsoft players use asc. i didn't even join these forums for the first couple of years that i played. they been doing airsoft for a couple of years now and started with just a few tm guns, but things have progressed from there. they were one of the first guys to have the tm m14 in stock back in august and that one became blastyman's instrument of utter mayhem. they don't really advertise and i don't think they need to. if you have questions just call or e-mail frank.

btw, their website just underwent a major overhaul so not everyhting is up to date. but in case you guys weren't aware, all the major airsoft retail is in alberta and b.c. interesting!

concept_8 · October 22nd, 2005, 00:34

Cool, thanks for the info.
I haven't baught any guns or anything from retailers lately but I'll definetly consider them for my next gun purchase since thier prices are good and from the sounds of it they've got a good rep.

firemachine69 · October 22nd, 2005, 02:16

WTF...

http://www.canadianairsoft.ca/checkout.php

CANADIANairsoft.CA... yet, they ask for a STATE and ZIP code?

puff puff pass

yanhchan · October 22nd, 2005, 08:23

Wow he's selling it for like nearly 250...I'd rather buy a used/new TM for 100-200 more because I'm not good at doing upgrades and I'll probably have one hell of a time getting Kuramae/6MM to upgrade it,,,

KoolAidMan · October 22nd, 2005, 10:50

Why goes it smell like fish when i go on that page ?

Trader rating · October 25th, 2005, 00:28

think what ya will but mac is right about the following, i've dropped around 12k there in the last 2years... all in impulse buys with the guns that were hanging on the wall and my team of 8 members have spent at least that much if not more... sometimes things are as good as they look. but the less guns anyone else buys the more it leaves for me :mrgreen:

mcguyver · October 25th, 2005, 00:33

i'm not far behind you jesse. i'm at about 10k and climbing every month and the only gun i had to order was tm g3 sg/1 last year.
