Have you tried to call them and get it worked out - maybe it's just a systems glitch not recognizing something? Or is the WMX200 seriously considered too dangerous to transport across Canada?
~Augee Yeah, sent them a email this morning. Don't you love that? I have ways around this at work. Let me know if I can help |

Has anyone purchased a B5 SOPMOD in Coyote Brown in the last several months? I remember the color being very bright - almost an orange tint to it.
Just wondering if their shade of Coyote Brown has changed at all since then? |

It's actually a pretty close match to the Rustoleum "Nutmeg" that's mixed in on my rifle. Unedited photo:

Just wondering if their shade of Coyote Brown has changed at all since then? I got this CB SOPMOD right when they were first released. It can have kind of a funky tint to it in bright sunlight, but it's not bad.

http://images.comiccollectorlive.com/covers/9a9/9a988cbf-ff82-4a24-af0a-71fd9c20f18a.jpg I'm pretty sure mine survived over the years, too. In 92 the dollar store down the street from my house sold them by the BOXES for a buck and I bought like, ten boxes of packs of cards and had thousands of different DS cards. I liked the puzzles where you put cards together to make like a silhouette of a soldier in front of a setting sun or an F/A-18 refueling or a B1 bomber and whatnot. |
