Surely Amazon will make them take it back?
Yes they will, but I'm getting tired of having to send these Amazon Mil surplus items back, arrange postage etc. I haven't yet received any Mil surplus described as new or unissued so far using Amazon, grade 2 or worse (in need of repair) always seem to turn up.
Amazon isn't the problem, it would appear to be the resellers using Amazon to palm off their grade 2 rubbish off as new to unwary buyers who assume because the items they have purchased are mil surpluse, this is what you can expect.
