Treasure or Trash? RTI Warehouse Tour of Military Surplus 2023!
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 7 ส.ค. 2024
- We took a trip to Melbourne, Florida, home of Royal Tiger Imports (RTI) to check out their current selection of surplus. Royal Tiger Imports is one of the leading importers of military surplus rifles and collectibles. We met with Shaw, the warehouse manager there and took a tour of warehouse and headquarters. In this video, we'll explore the extensive collection of vintage weapons, including pre- WW2 rifles, Lugers, rarities, and more. Many of these were imported from Ethiopia, which would have been acquired by Emperor Haile Selassie. Other surplus currently there is from Italy and Israel. Shaw even gives us a sneak peak at some rare and unique pieces from around the world including Lugers, Colt Pythons, M1 Carbines, and M1 Garands to name a few.
Shaw highlights some of the important practices at RTI in order to give the customer the best experience possible. He explains the techniques used to place the import mark, IO Ordnance, on the weapons. He also goes over how a bore select order is processed. Over the years, many have been skeptical about the milsurps from RTI, but it seems like they are adamant about sharing history and placing the customer first.
Correction: Haile Selassie ruled as Emporer of Ethiopia from 1930 to 1974. Prior to that, he served under the Empress Zewditu from 1916 to 1930. During that time frame is when he started to acquire weapons from Europe for Ethiopia (1922)

RTI wronged me on a parts kit sale and refused to send me the missing parts. Instead of owning up to their mistake they scrubbed my review and told me to ship it back with a restocking fee. I am still upset and refuse to do any business with them so buyer be warned on any parts kits along with the shot out barrels for collector price.
Classic Firearms pulls the same crap
Freedom Fighter tactical hit me with the restocking fee for their part not fitting. 🤑
Thanks for the info I think I'm going to cancel my $8,400 order
Guy I know paid extra for a ww1 BAR kit, he went back and forth with shipping like 4 times to get what he paid for.
Re-write the review and do it with two or three email addresses. They won't be able to scrub that. I know because I do it all the time.
I love how guy is so proud of his laser engraving while he Chunks And drags every weapon he picks up back in the pile!
I noticed that also.
It's because he doesn't care and is a foreign loser. He doesnt actually care about history or guns like we do.
This video brought to you by the phrases "That's really neat," "Pretty nice bore," and "that's pretty cool."
I've bought several guns from them. Most are pretty decent given where they came from. I do have a couple gripes about the company. The first is that they curate product reviews. Product reviews should not be curated, as that paints an incomplete/ potentially inaccurate picture for perspective buyers. The second is that a lot of the pricing reflects close to retail/ auction pricing for good condition examples, when they know damn well that most of what they have does not reflect that condition and price point. Third, a couple guns I've gotten appear to have been assaulted with a wire wheel. They need to tell the Ethiopians to not scrub anything and leave them untouched. You can salvage an untouched gun, but not a wire wheeled one. Otherwise, if its from Ethiopia, don't set your expectations too high and buy when things are on sale. The Carcano carbines from Italy are top notch and the price is a steal. Good luck finding ammo, though.
I am very selective and I tend to watch TH-cam reviews for many things I would find desirable. Buying during a sale is a good tactic that has severed me well over the years. Yes those Carcanos are great but the ammo is scarce nowadays
My FFL's won't even take on a Carcano because of ammo shortages n prices......
Interesting note on the wire wheeling, I got a mannlicher where the top of the barrel & receiver were obviously wire wheeled - no finish, but not much rust or pitting. However, when I took the stock off, there was heavy pitting & rust on all surfaces under the stock. this leads me to believe the pitting developed AFTER it was wire wheeled, so I think it may have been done quite a while ago
When I started reloading ammo @ 25 yrs ago, one goal, aside from a stockpile for current guns, was to be able to load for anything, assuming dies are available.....reloaded 7.62 X 54 r for Mosan Nagant , just because folks said it was impossible....with steel cases, which necks crack too easily, problematic to be sure....
Why find ammo when you could press your own for a few hundred bucks for eternity ?
I think the ratio of two smooth sales to one POS is about right. In my case, Unfortunately, the one that cost the most (arguably too much) was the POS.
The serial number 10 Python. Wow.
Awesome video. I like royal tiger. I know they do sell some junk. I wish they were more transparent when sending a rifle with a bad bore or not functioning. But love to support surplus companies
Just stay away from Classic Firearms, they are nothing but a giant scam, whether you're buying modern arms or accessories or old stuff. They'll never pass up an opportunity to nickel and dime you out of an extra $20 to $50. Whether it's something about a modern product that they don't mention on their site that leads to you returning it and getting charged a restocking fee, or buying an old gat listed as good to very good condition and paying extra for hand select, only to receive a gat that has a Classic Firearms tag on it that clearly says "place in FAIR pile". Then they offer to exchange it, charging you shipping again and another FFL fee for their next attempt to get it right, or they just keep it because they "dont have any more" and charge you a restocking fee. They're fairly local to me and I've given them more chances on more products than I like to admit.
Unfortunately, they arent a transparent company
Very cool , thanks for sharing
Definitely! 😎🍻
Very informative, thanks....
RTI, this was great of you to give us a tour.
Thank you
those M1 are nasty price for what they are, but I love their 30.06 bandoliers!
Shaw has my dream job I believe.
Great video and tour. Reminds me of the old Classic Firearms videos.
Doesn't seem like I'm gonna be doing any biz with these kids. Y'all have a great day 👍
Great video!
Thanks 😎🍻
Cool tour.
Thanks 😁🍻
Awesome collection of imports, wish I could hand pick a few examples for myself but I live pretty far away. Thanks for doing this video and asking a lot of questions most collectors have.
Thank you 🍻😁
I've refurbished 100s and 100s of M1s in the 70s and early 80s. Including a lot of WW II weapons There's still a large stash of M1s and Carbines in England
Interesting… I wonder if they will ever get sent back to the U.S. if they were lend leased
@BattlefieldCurator Nope, rhey'll stay there. Britain still has large sticks. Italians still have tons of German ordnance including 88s in storage
Got my hands on a like new M1-D sniper & scope with full kit from a UK seller back in the mid-'80s. 🎉
@bobkohl6779 why do you think they'll stay there?
Nice video.
Thanks 😎🍻
Salesi was a religious and secular leader of the African State of Abyssinia/Ethiopia. He led resistance to the Italian invasions' and. for a brief time, worked to make Ethiopia a modern Christian, democratic and tolerant country
would love to go through their warehouse and pick out a few weapons.
I dont really have a strong opinion on RTI one way or another and I do commend them for letting you into their facility but Im sorry I HAVE to call them out for what he says at 10:45. I bought a restored Beretta M1 from them about 10 months ago and they literally wouldnt tell me anything about the ones they had. I did get one with a decent bore (Strong rifling but a bit of frost) but I was really miffed about the heal mark. Its there but you can barely see it. I should have called and made a stink but my Bolt and Barrel were Italian so I didnt. Im also kinda butthurt they dont offer the Berettas in the as found condition like they show at 14:30.
Huh interesting. Might be a miscommunication issue regarding what the front staff can and can’t do.
The experience at the warehouse was amazing and Shaw was a knowledgeable tour guide.
@@BattlefieldCurator He seems like a nice guy, I just wish they were a little more transparent with what they have. I payed 2200 for my Beretta shipped. I wasnt expecting factory new but I was still mad. They wouldnt even tell me how many they had. Also, Im gunna be honest, their shipping costs are outrageous.
Just based on the reviews,these clowns need to sell or pass on the business to someone else alot less greedy.More Con than Pro,and that's your customers, doesn't matter what I think ✌️
nice video
Thanks 😁🍻
This is awesome! I’m glad someone got to do a tour there. Loves to see behind the scenes. I wish I could be there to see all that surplus ! Thanks for the video and thanks to RTI for bringing it in.
Most definitely 😎🍻 had a great time touring the RTI HQ with my bro and Warehouse Manager Shaw
@@BattlefieldCurator I bet it was great to see all that surplus! This video is definitely going to get you a ton of views! Hell ya, so many people are gonna pulverize that like button 🤣. Great job at seeing how they do hand select and bore condition . I know people are always complaining and asking about how they do it?
@@BattlefieldCurator your at 14k now ,let’s see how many you get this next week.
@@Wicked505 lol 😂
@@BattlefieldCurator you added 26k since this video 😮 good job 👏🏽
Awesome video - very cool to go behind the scenes
Thanks! 😎🍻
Wonder if they have any Weimar marked k98s?
Just Recently bought a Yugo m48 from RTI not very Happy with my Purchase still Waiting to hear back from Them!
Good luck with that!
Amazing!!!
He's showing all the ones the employees are going to keep. RTI biggest problem is their grading. A good or fair graded rifle doesn't have missing parts or a sewer pipe bore that tumbles bullets at 20 feet. That is a poor condition rifle but that would probably describe 50% - 70% of RTI's "Ethiopian horde" from what I've heard, read and watched videos from customers. I thought about buying 3 rifles for my collection or just finish out the Carcano line but by the time you have to pay 100$-200$ more for hand select and your back up there at what a good or better quality rifle from another seller or gun show would costs. And RTI's hand select is only the extra money you have to pay to get the rifle in the condition that it was originally described as rather than get a broken rifle, missing parts or an unshootable bore.
Haha! I don’t think the employees would want them. While the grading of the Ethiopian stash can vary, the surplus Carcanos from Italy seem to be in better shape than the ones imported from PWarms a few years back. I have received great quality Carcanos from them recently and I also known a few people who received good ones as well. Hand select bore and condition on their Carcanos is currently $40 to $80.
I have to say there are some really nice looking guns there. But what id like to see are some realistic prices? A lot of these guns are priced way over industry norms!
Consumer demand imo is going down, tightening monetary policy and not a lot of stimulus money floating around
😂 Probably WHY they are still just sitting there, rather than restored to usage by owners
Very interesting. Would like to dig through those Carbines and Garands, and purchase a few of each.
The Garands are tempting. I was very surprised with the condition of the Carcanos
I'd probably have bought a cavelry carbine and a k98k with police markings.
Do you have any WWII Korean war tanker or pilots shoulder holster for a 45 ACP
I’m tempted on a Luger but the more affordable ones they’re selling have sewer pipes for barrels. It’s still tempting though, especially since some of them were refinished before, they can be refinished again without harming any collectors value so a good project gun.
Yes very tempting. Any cheaper and I think they’d fly off the shelf
Buy one anywhere else. You'll get better condition for cheaper.
Don't bother with those ones save your money get a good one take your time when you pick one find the one you want and go with that
Would not recommend RTI
Not good to do business with
Cool video but I went to the site, 1500+ for M1 , that's crazy I had no idea they'd gotten that high, maybe it's time to part with a few, I have a few Inlands
If you check around local shops, they are hard to find. Other online shops have them listed for around 2k or more. Collectible they are indeed, and they’re nice rifles for practical use
@@BattlefieldCurator If you check local shops in Florida or a gun show, you will find at least 2-30 M1's. They aren't that rare to find in Florida, maybe just where you are. I bought a M1 Carbine Inland with a refurbished stock for $550 with tax out the door about a year ago.
When I was a kid my dad worked in a gun store and off to the side they had a surplus section and they couldn't even give that stuff away
I would guess more folks understood the these a bit better. Took some years for them to get this popular and collectible
THANKS ULI SHAW DAN All TREASURE there. So glad you went down there and took the tour of there warehouse ! That pile of M1 Carbines was incredible. THANKS again RTI and Battlefield Curator !!
😁🍻 I do like their M1 Carbines they are great! I have a few from them
@@BattlefieldCurator Hey Dan ya i have 10 just missing a Roc-Ola darn
Great review! Good information.
Glad to provide a glimpse at that incredibly historic cache of weapons 😁🍻 thanks to Shaw and Uli for letting us do a tour through there
@@BattlefieldCurator Absolutely. Been watching for awhile. Thank you for what you do. I keep hoping I can come across an FAL, Galil, or VZ 58 for a deal... money's tight
Maybe one day 🤞
What Kinds of Italian Rifles from the 1896 War in Abyssinia? My Dad was the Youngest Boy in a family of Seven Girl’s and five Boy’s. My Grandfather fought and barely escaped capture with His Life at Adwa. He passed away when I was very small. I Have a very nice Vetterli Rifle but read that many Italian’s at Adwa were armed with single shot Remington Rolling Blocks. The Italian’s and their Eritrean Allies were outnumbered by a disparity of over 100 -1 . The Abyssinians were armed with many of the latest and best arms that could be had with advisors.
Wow incredible family history. The Italians at the time would have been armed with Carcano M1891, M91 Cavalry Carbines, and M91 TS Carbines. Maybe some Vetterlis in service still.
2 Words Come To Mind:
"OVERPRICED JUNK" !!!
Ok . This is a relatively easy question to answer .
What is surplus ? Surplus is anything EXTRA , manufactured to repair or replace .
But these surplus items started off a platform . So these are incomplete . You’re not going to get a complete system from a warehouse , for civilians .
What does a civilian need with this stuff ? Well he can find uses for some of this stuff , and as you can see , this warehouse owner wants to capitalize on that desire .
This equipment was designed for a one time use application . It’s coloered green so it’s not imedeately detected . But in a must servive situation , the possessor can leave it behind . And maybe return for it later when the mission is finished .
You can tell it's a family run business when a 20 year old kid is the warehouse manager.
Actually no lol found out Shaw the warehouse manager is not related to Uli the owner
Wow
Yano i was considering one of RTI's Garands but even with the amount of money they are charging they dont provide a shot of the bore? You would think that someone trying to sell a rifle for at times "over" 1500.00 to 2799.00,bucks would provide a picture of the bores on this individual rifles? But nope!
Go to the cmp store they have m1 garands from 800 and up and you can go examine the bore for yourself. It's really worth it if you're wanting a good garand for a better price than most anywhere else
I have purchased 3 rifles from them. 2 great buys and 1 that was a complete mess. You must roll the dice when buying from them. All in all you will get a piece of History.
Kid in a candy store tour. I would need to win the lottery to walk through there safely.
Lol 😂
When was this video shot?
What's up with The CMP Case on the Carbines??!!
Very interesting indeed… 🤔
Expect not the best "grading" and if it exceeds it , then you are a winner! Cool stuff though.
Yea definitely don’t have high higher expectations for condition or you will be heart broken
I made a comment on one of RTIs videos that there seemed to be a lot of videos of people being upset about their purchases and the official RTI page replied with some salty comment 😂. I even wrote in the comments I had no experience with RTI, it was just an impression I have gotten based the number of negative videos made by others.
Lol
If you want that Colt Python from RTI..You better get a second mortgage because they know what they have...
Considering RTI likely paid $1 apiece to the Ethiopian gov't, plus perhaps 25 cents to the approving minister, and about the same for shipping/ import licenses, they could sell them very reasonably and still make money....
I talked to Uli about the expenses… there’s so much more to it than that… business operating expenses like 10-20 employee salaries, rent/loan repayment on building, security system, internet/phone bill, and the special taxes that the government takes. Here’s the interview- Uli Wiegand: Why Military Surplus is so Expensive & What You Should Know about Royal Tiger Imports
th-cam.com/video/hpgfaNvQIds/w-d-xo.html
@@BattlefieldCurator Thanks
Is that the owners son or just a very educated warehouse supervisor or both ?
He is not related to the owner Uli, but he has been working there for around 5 years so yes I’d say Shaw is very knowledgeable.
but do i ever want one of those Garands! lol
Lol
Hey Dan thanks for going down to Florida. Treasures there piles of Treasures. Uli and Shaw THANK you too.
Definitely 😁🍻
I'm not a fan of a lot of RTI's business practices, when it comes to how they describe condition. Using "Excellent condition" examples as the photos for "Poor condition" rifles. ECT
Classic Firearms pulls a lot of the same crap
you are better bidding on gun broker you will get a real collectable all matching and in one hell lot better shape. I mean 1500 for those possibly shooter grade Lugers these should sell for no more than 800.
@@michaelmusson3593 even then GB has gone down hill a lot. Fake bidders, inflated condition evaluations, outrageous reserve prices, and other scams, but if you're placing your bet, unfortunately GB is currently the best place.
@@joearledge1 you are right I have been noticing the fake bidders lately and saw the video that Legacy-Collectibles put out on that topic
I often wonder about all the 1903-A3 Drill Rifles used at Great Lakes Naval Training center -Do they still use Them? If Not, What about their Disposition ?
Man, that dude has a dream job. I’d set up a cot and never leave lol
Lol and it’s in Florida 😎
The Firearms business is notorious for not paying well because people will almost show up and work for free just to get to work with guns all day! We actually had someone work for free for about three months so that they could be in line to be the next hire at the gun shop where I worked back in the 90s!
If you bring almost 8000 M1 Garandes into circulation, shouldn’t the price GO DOWN??
The CMP did that as well with their Philippine returns… prices went up
I WAS LUCKY TO FIND A 3 DIGIT MADE IN OCT. 1937 BUT ALAS IT WAS REWORKED TO ALL MATCH PARTS. DON BAKER
Wow! One would expect a 1937 to be reworked, since they replaced the Gas Trap system in the early Garands
its a treasure for preppers
FL. That explains a lot
It's amazing how much money they want, for these worn-out tomato stakes.
That stuff is in pretty rough shape....😊
Any rolling blocks
Haven’t seen any there
Italian rifles. Only dropped once.
My 1891 Rifle I got from them was complete shit. All the screws were stripped out among other things.
I could not work at an importer like that. I would have to have a second (and maybe a third) job in order to pay the bills. because all of my salery would go to buy more guns!!!
Lol 😂
Bought two rifles from them, condition was abominable. Both rifles came filthy, damaged, missing parts and with bad bores. The magazine housing was so badly dented on the cavalry carbine a clip wouldnt go in. Emails to RT went unanswered. If you want an example of a rifle - just go to a dealer and buy one you can see what kind of shape its in. In the future, I will pay more for a nice example rather than waste money on trash.
That '98 bore was rusty
I would work there for free😊
Lol
Idk how you got in this place. You must know somebody!
My guess is they keep the best to sell to higher end buyers and send the junk out to us
Classic firearms gets some of their surplus from RTI, looks the same from what I’ve seen
Ooooooh, I like those Italian carbines. I bought a hand select bore Vetterli from these guys, also a B Class Enfield for display. Found them really great to work with, but know what you're ordering before hand! Thank you Dan and RTI.
Cheers 😁🍻
Haha you know, I live about 45 minutes away from Melbourne and should absolutely take a tour like this for my own channel. They have a lot coming out.
They’ve got a lot!
"Cool"..."neat"..."pretty awesome"..."cool"...."pretty awesome"..."neat"..."really"..."pretty impressive"..."really great"..."wow"..."pretty cool"..."alright"... etc.
I heard rti send out crap and keep the best rifles is this true?
The Ethiopian surplus they have is going to look rough and it would be best to try and do hand select bore and hand select condition. Honestly, I haven’t bought much from them but you can check out Readiness Reviews on TH-cam and see what he’s gotten from them in the past. I have gotten a few good M1 Carbines from them though.
Oh and some of their Carcanos are from Italy (not Ethiopia) and are really nice, I’ve got a few of those as well. The Swiss K31s from Switzerland look good too
Not one, damn, thing, that's good about the state of Florida...
Seems like a cool young man, he definitely has an awesome job. My problem if I worked there would be spending every dime I made at my place of work.
I am really glad they rescued all this stuff. Sure their prices are high and some people get junk, but it all would have completely rotted away otherwise. I am also glad Italy sold us their Carcanos instead of destroying them. A ton of surplus over in Europe has been destroyed. I hope importers are able to get all the Chinese SKS rifles out of Albania before those get the axe, but they can only bring ones in that are 50 years old so each year they get a batch, the rest have to sit, and so on.
I haven’t heard about the 50 year old rule. I have heard the Chinese SKS (and probably other combloc surpkus weapone) have to be stored in a neutral country for 20 years before importation into the U.S. If I recall, I saw that in a video from Classic Firearms.
@@BattlefieldCurator I am pretty sure it has to meet both the 20 years in a neutral country and 50 years of age, which is why we always get a shipment every year and they don't just bring the whole stack in at once.
@@BattlefieldCurator If you look up the thread "any sks's coming in country soon?" on gunboards there's a member that has been involved in going to Albania and selecting the rifles for import. He's the one who said they were only able to get ones that are 50 years old. Maybe they have to be C&R to be imported?
His SN is Steve K, here's one of his quotes on it:
"Martin, positively. The formula for Factory 26 is approved. As long as they are 50 years old and Factory 26 marked, they can come in. I had sorted some carbines for future shipments but I retired before anything came about. Remember....Century is the largest importer out there. If guns were available, they would be there."
All those Carcanos should have been destroyed when the ammo dried up.
Just say no to there IO ak
Rti made those AK”s that were complete junk ? I owned one and never had a issue but I always consider rumors to be half truths and don’t like some of the trunnion fails I’ve watched via TH-cam
RTI's Shipping options and shipping prices SUCK
Shalom
I am tired of videos complaining about RTI. If you don't like their stuff, don't order it. I do not see many others doing the work to bring this to market. If I had the money, I would buy several of the rifles I see!
I just interviewed Uli from RTI, a lot goes into getting this surplus over to the states
I know exactly what you mean I've been on there and looked and if there's going to be flaws or missing parts and such they always state it and the condition so you have a pretty good idea of what you should be getting
Your guide looks like a kid.
Lol 😂 he’s in his 20’s
I want to be best friends with Shaw lol
Is the kid old enough to own a gun? Lol
Lol
Myanma PDF meanwhile desperate for guns
Email blasts and website is trash…
still haven t heard from u guys about my order i emailed you twice why all the b s just to order a 150 year old gun or r u just a fly by nite joke
Hello, this is the Battlefield Curator youtube channel. We are not Royal Tiger Imports. Try and reach out to Royal Tiger Imports on their TH-cam channel, Instagram, Facebook, phone, and chat messenger on their website.
Most of what they carry is trash
No. Must have been wire wheeled. 😢
Corrupt company😊
Your asking of to many picky collector questions? Dude. These are import marked guns and No collectibility with any of them and Over priced.
Dang, when did men get so soft looking? Does not give one much confidence in our future….
Blued M1 Garand…. Ha! Ok buddy
Why would you use AI generated images of historical events and leaders, like Mussolini and Selassie, and not real ones?
I was testing it and impressed by how well Selassie was generated. The vibrant colors gave a different feeling to the video, like it gave it more life. AI wasn’t great with Mussolini though, and still has a long way to go. What did you think?
@@BattlefieldCurator While I enjoyed your tour of RTI's arsenal, I think the AI detracted from your video, and does a disservice if you were trying to educate. I understand the appeal of the aesthetics, but the segment was about historical events, which were widely documented. There's no reason to imagine what it looked like, when we are left with hundreds of photographs of the actual events and people.
Anyone else cringe when he ran the bore snake from muzzle to chamber?
At 12:20.. How on earth can you claim that Inland appears to be all correct? The bolt, and slide and rear sight and stock and handguard and barrel band and flip safety are all too late for that serial number. When you say stuff like that, it exposes you as someone who has no clue what you are talking about beyond some very general comments. Aren't you the lead armorer or something for RTI? That Inland isn't even close to being correct. Stop blowing smoke up everyone's you know what.
Would love to work for RTI. Would be my dream job 💯
Seems like they have a great time over there
