Royal Tiger Imports

[Finnished]

Howdy all,

Ive been debating ordering from the above vendor, but have heard mixed reviews. I'm specifically considering their Carcano carbines imported from Europe. Anyone have experience with the vendor or even the Carcanos? Is it a good idea or no?

Thanks fellas,

Logan

Royal Tiger has been around for a long time. They were formerly known as Inter Ordnance.

Inter-ordinance, that’s a name I haven’t heard in a long time

Expect a grade below what they say. However they are the only gamebin town for some stuff right now.

There's an article in the current Guns magazine about an Austria - Hungria M95 rifle. The author mentions dealing with Royal Tiger. He doesn't mention anything negative.

Those carcanos are probably from Ethiopia, just like all the other surplus they are coming up with.

From what I gathered, these are a large surplus of Carcano Carbines coming from Italian police units. Some are in good shape, some are scrap metal. I personally would never buy a rifle from Ethiopia, but I see the appeal. I would not be surprised if they got Carbines from Ethiopia and just lumped them all together.

I ended up going with Classic Firearm's listing. They appeared to be in pretty amazing shape. Bought 5, so we'll see how it goes

They are legitimate but have shady practices like deleting most of the negative reviews. I purchased several m1 carbines as my first order from them listed as very good to excellent. What I got were fair to good at best. Wood was cracked, chunks missing, or split, metal was blotchy on all of them from surface rust and uneven wear on the remaining park, had to replace parts on 2 of them, and they were sent in 1 cardboard box with only enough bubble wrap that they had all tore through and were banging against each other. Hope your luck is better if you decide to go with them. For my money I will gladly pay more to know exactly what I am getting from an auction site or reputable vendors. Never again rti...never again!

Classic arms also censors reviews that cast sweaty Ben in a negative light.
