| Does anyone know where to buy a Kraken AK47 in BC.
I am thinking of a 'retail store, walk-in, buy it, done' kind of situation.
Or has the in-store supply of these dried up?
I have been hunting about in Kamloops...and a bit in Williams Lake (chilcotin guns is no go) but so far with no luck.
Mikhail. | |

| Hmmm...interesting..
Well two locations in Quesnel are looking into it further...and I called Quesnel Home Hardware this morning...They said they will call today to their supplier and see...and give me a call back.
I would LIKE to purchase it locally to support the sport in this area...sort of a 'voting with your wallet' concept.
But if they can't do it..then online sale it is.
Mike. -still on the hunt for wild Kraken of BC.... | |

| certainly online would be your easiest bet and that way you'll get the solid coloured version and not the clear. But I understand the buying local.
It's funny I was house sitting and just happened to go to Frank's and they just put the first one on the shelf. I looked at it and read the specs and said what the hell and shelled out the $200. Everyone on ASC was laughing when I mentioned it and what I paid mainly because it was clear. I wrote the review on it and lent it to John for part of the PG Milsim. After that I swear every Kraken in the country was sold out lol! | |

To this date Quesnel stores are hard pressed to keep the Kraken on the shelves for more than 2 weeks. Sadly, both companies are dealing with Northern Tackle, who has expanded too fast, treated all their staff like dogs, and had alot of business pulled because of it. (Up to and including Frank's, by the sounds of it. He (Dave) is currently looking into a better supplier.) Clear or solid body is not going to make a difference with the work Mikhail wants to do on the Kraken anyways (wood kit, body, etc), not to mention he wants to buy something cheap to rip open anyways. Like the rest of us, he also knows the value or satin/flat finish krylon. | |

| Apparently, a few of the mill workers up here are gaming with them...at work, in the mill.
As for the rest of them, somebody out there is sitting on them, not even realizing that clubs exist, or simply dont care. We eventually have to find them with the open houses and such. | |

| Agreed. We did have a few people coming up and talking about "the one their 10-year old son bought at WalMart", or the ones they bought for fun and shoot each other in the trailor with, but only about the same number as usual that are actually interested in coming out to play. | |
