It might be a bit offtopic.. but there is a certain US item that I would want to order.
It's a speedloader for 308 mags (G3 magazine in particular) from http://www.keepshooting.com.
The speedloader is 24.95, and I would like 2 packs of 20 stripperclips to come with it (7.95 per pack).

That would make $40.85... excl. shipping.. that's something I could live with.

Bút.. there is one problem. They dó ship overseas (not ITAR restricted) but.. I don't have a credit card, and they don't understand a thing about IBAN/swift transactions. (Normal bank transfer) and probably think I am some sort of an nigerian 419 scammer.

I would really like to get me those Items.. because it would spare me a lot of time while topping up my mags at the range (you are not allowed to transport loaded magazines in the Netherlands). Typically, I need to top up 8 to 10 mags for DSR ("fun version" of IPSC) that are 160 to 200 rounds (you only use about 80-120, but from different magazines..)

So.. I would like to know if some of you guys can help me with this, that accepts paypal or normal international banktransfer (if you understand how IBAN works).

I don't really need to get it from that shop, I can get it from all states.. but I have some problems getting it.
I already have some Dutch suppliers pending (that import stuff from the US, but noone replied yet)
Sure, someone may one day kill me with my own gun.
But they'll have to beat me to death with it because it's empty.

IBAN/swift is inside EU only.

Are you sure? I needed to transfer some money to israel and I used the IBAN number aswell.
I got some army gear from an IDF "fan" site.

But I haven't got a creditcard, because as an 22 year old, the rates on creditcards are extreme.

You are right :oops:

IBAN is used by this ->countries<-, but USA and Canada not for sure. Israel use it too - let´s make them EU member, so we can get rations from there easily :wink:

Hmm then I'll have to do it by PayPal..
Is there anyone who would like to help me?

I do not want to do WesternUnion transfers and stuff like that, because they are to vulnerable to ripoff.

My wish list from US:

- USMC gear, no weapons (boots, clothing, first aid items/kit , webbing, an pistol holster for my airsoft gun) - I'm a former Romanian Marine and collector.

- anything related to mountaineering/ search and rescue (books mostly, but gear is welcome).

- any item related to Deep South/Dixie area of US (chewing tobacco, spices, liquor :mrgreen: )
