I assume every gun youtuber knows they're already on the list if a federal AWB passes. In other news, AoA is selling barreled AK parts kits for a thousand dollars.

Speaking of which, MAC always talks about checking local gun shops for deals on this or that gun he likes, but I lived two blocks away from Copper Custom for years and everything in there is pretty substantially marked up. Weirdly impossible to find a good deal on anything in your own store, MAC!

MAC is a dude who got out of the Marines after 2 years before Desert Storm without seeing any type of combat and made bank on being in the dot com bubble. He's literally just a marketing dude.

Got one of the coveted/contentious Zastava scope mounts, only to fine out I don't have the proper mounting for them on my century arms Yugo, lol. Anybody know if the TWS dogleg rail is any good? Haven't found any mountains of negative reviews or anything.

Some guntubers are suddenly talking about drama involving Hungarian SVD clones. What's going on there?

Somebody Awful posted:Some guntubers are suddenly talking about drama involving Hungarian SVD clones. What's going on there? Hungarian-American gun guy gets a list going (on multiple forums?) with a stated price of $3800/gun. Not sure if there was a disclaimer this price is not set in stone. Hungarian guy goes to Hungry and talks the FEG factory into making a run for the US market showing them the ‘list’ of 100 committed buyers at US$3800. Also knowing they will have to make modifications to the rifle for import. Also the factory had to dust off some old tooling to make these(?). Same guy also becomes the FEG US representative(unofficially?). Maybe not paid but friends with benefits like free stuff. Guns are re-designed for import. First batch of guns are made (50?). There’s some drama with the original US importer(s?). Guns could have been imported in 2020 but because of the US side importer drama they are delayed until 2021. Importer seems to have no idea of the original ‘list’ or just ignores it. MAC/Tim and his gun store Copper Custom makes an offer to the importer to buy the first batch. Seems like he made this offer a long time ago when he caught wind of the endeavor. MAC/Tim then decides to put the guns on gunbroker instead of offering them to the original ‘list’ to ‘let the market decide’ on what they are worth. MAC/Tim also just posted a video on his channel a week prior trash talking scalpers on gunbroker. Drama starts. MAC/Tim doubles down. Downward spiral keeps going until this day. Edit: there’s also some miscommunication as to what $3800 meant. If the factory is selling them for $3800 then they are going to be much more after international shipping, import fees, importer fees, dealer fees. Copper custom seems to think $7500 is the new price to make all the middle people happy. He was probably thinking of getting even more on gunbroker before the ‘community’ poo poo bid all his listings to $10mil making him unable to sell anything on GB even items unrelated to the drama.

Drama indeed. Mishaco even got called out for saying the market ‘is what it is’. But he’s not buying up all the stock and drip feeding it to drive prices up. Misha got a sample and posted a video just last night. Misha got me a Vepr right before the sanctions hit and it was just like $50 over cost.

The list thing has been hilariously misrepresented. Making a list on a forum is about as official as a change.org petition. It's completely idiotic for anyone to think they were pre-ordering a rifle by putting their name down on AK files. FEG did not create the list, and the importer did not create the list. Some rando on the forum did. So that's one thing people are upset about because MAC didn't honor some random list he had nothing to do with. The other thing which has more validity was MAC putting the guns up on gun broker after he made statements about calling out unscrupulous scalping on gun broker just weeks before.

From what I can tell the guy is more than just some forum rando. As to what his relationship to the company and project is all his word at the moment which is more than just being some guy writing emails from home. It seems like Tim/Copper is willing to sell to the original list at $7500 unless that’s just a troll because he also said there’s more than one list and letting the community battle it out on which list is the canonical one. But also most people seem to be done with this and also salting the earth for Tim to never be able to sell these at retail. So they’ll probably just sell quietly to randos slowly or through another dealer when things cool off. Ironic it was Tim who trolled Jager in the century drama.

Mishaco was mentioned elsewhere, and I came to see his input here. There are also some rumors that the guns were Russian in origin, came through FEG, but look very sketchily stamped, so there is some valid concerns that if that ends up true, that people are gonna be hosed

Don't take this at any more than face value, because I haven't cared enough to dig into the intricate lunacies that are import laws. Russian poo poo hasn't been allowed to be imported for like 10 years now, and they had import restrictions before that. There are some other weird ways around it, but they are all weird flow charts of details. If these are Russian kits built and imported that way, it violates more than a few laws, and the ATF will probably want them back at the very least. It's probably all bullshit, but I like watching drama that I have no part in.

MAC is deflecting from the issue most people had with this fiasco. It wasn't about "the list". The main issue most people have that I've seen on other AK forums I visit is the listing on gunbroker as auctions. MAC claims these auctions were to test the MSRP, but they weren't. They could have easily listed the guns on their site for the MSRP and watched if they sold or not. Instead they started an auction for 5 of them with minimum bid as MSRP so Copper could gouge as hard as possible. They planned on doing this repeatedly. The combloc community would have been equally pissed if any other retailers did this same thing. For example, Atlantic would have gotten poo poo all over if they tried this same thing with the 5.56 FB Radom Beryls that were just imported. Rightfully so. On top of it Atlantic didn't make a video a few weeks prior about how Gunbroker scalpers were scum.
