PREFAIR military surplus Montreal...

Next time any Montreal MLU members on this forum are in the PREFAIR store can they check down aisle #2 for a stack of Bofors boxes C-216,C-219. I was told they are sitting there, but the store tells me they don't have them. Maybe they just don't want to bother with the cheap price of the box and shipping to Manitoba??? Cheers Rob

I saw those boxes there just three weeks ago. They were painted silver, and had hasps installed on them. There were a dozen or so. They were all the C219 box.

As Rob mentions, they are about 10 feet in on the second isle from the left side of the store.

Do they still have the gun in front of the Sails mother store around the corner....???

They seem to dig up some old stuff every now and then.... I suspect they still have old inventory to draw from....

They might not ship to Manitoba but stuff could be picked up and shipped back to you..... hint hint...

All 3 guns are now in front of the prefair store. I drool over them every time I am there. They are for sale, but I am too cheap to pay the loading and the shipping. I have been trying to talk someone else from this way to buy one as well so we could split the shipping.

They have three 90mm anti aircraft guns. Two are very complete, while one is missing the axles and a few other parts. Price is 7K each.

They weigh in at 18,000 lbs each, and most of the tires are flat, so it may require a crane to lift them onto a flatbed.

Considering how many guns you actually find on the open market in Canada, these are a bargain in my opinion.

Rob,

I will probably be in that area later this week or early next week. If you want I could try to swing by and see if they still have them. How many do you want and do you know what they're asking for them? We'd still have to work out shipping. Do you have a Canpar, Fed-Ex or UPS account? LMK.

Rob,

Sounds good. Do you want me to get 4 regardless of condition or you want me to let you know what shape their in before I buy them. If so, it might be a while before I have a chance to go back that way and get them. LMK.

Pick out the best 4, just make sure they are C216-219 and we will work out the details. Thanks Rob,,,Keep in touch.

Rob,

I have your four C219 boxes. They're actually in pretty nice shape.PM me your shipping address and I'll work on shipping quotes. How do you want them packaged? They're rather bulky. LMK.

Can anyone clarify the CMS/C maker mark?

Rob Fast · #11 02-09-09, 02:13

with my shipping details and thanks for the big effort on your part. Cheers Rob

Rob,

No problem, I'm glad I could help. However, I did not receive your PM with the shipping info. Could you re-send it so I can work on the shipping quote. Thanks.
