just thought i would post this as a matter of intrest....its official now that AUSTRALIA POST has backed away from there initial stand of refusing/not wanting to handle over seas shipments of gun parts / actions/ barrels etc
good news for a change!
Daniel

Daniel,

Certainly great news! Do you know if that also includes bullets, and brass?

b
it never included proj/brass/scopes
it maily related to firearms, and firearm components ,bolts ,bottom metal ,recivers etc
i have been getting brass, proj during this supposed ban with no problems and even numerous barrels...it was a big bluff by AUSTRALIA POST
CUSTOMS WERE LETTING EVERY THING THROUGH!!
infact i have over 2000 barnes tsx proj comming with no issues
daniel

Daniel, Thanks for that information, especially on the projectiles. Are you getting the projectiles in by Air Mail or Surface Mail?

Prior to the ban I had imported by surface mail, at least 3 consignments of Wildcat bullets from Canada. I will now see if I can arrange another shipment.

Do you still need US State Dept approval to import firearm parts, bullets, brass, etc from the US? Brian.

Now that we are on the subject of inter' post, has anyone ordered GSCustom projectiles from the NZ based agent?

WOODJACK
who is the NZ based agent..i find most aussie and kiwi hunters are content useing standard cup and core proj, so i cant see the market being to great for the GSC proj
BRIAN
air mail
yes you still need an export permit from the state department for brass proj firearms/parts etc etc
Daniel

M98,

Alot of Aussies grumble at $15-20 for 100 Remcorelocks. SO I guess GSC would blow their mind.

Looks here: http://www.gsgroup.co.za/11dealers.html

I have emailed NZ but no responce.I also emailed GSCustom SA, to ask why there is no responce from their nominated dealer,..also no responce.
At least they are consistant with each other.

Mate..If we were paying that little for em I would have them in the thousands! Try $25 at the cheapest (on special) and $33-35 otherwise.

Yep. That's a US export requirement, nothing to do with the destination country. BTW, it's all firearms parts orders where the parts are worth over US$100, plus all orders including certain specified parts [e.g. barrels, actions, trigger assemblies].

I sent email to GS they replied with the NZ agent email addy - sent him email had one reply but when i asked about ordering what he had, no reply.

416Sw,
Thanks for your feed back.Did you get any idea what he had in stock?..but if they wont answer your request,it probably doesnt really matter.

Reminds me of when I had A Landcruizer fitted out with many $ooos' worth of ARB gear($90,000 truck).
When in North Queensland the Turbo Spat the Dummy 2 months after they fitted it to a new truck. They were looking for all the reasons in the world why they werent Liable.I also had an OldManEmu suspension failure on the road to CapeYork. when I limped into Bamaga,the ARB rep mechanic was not interested in helping me, said if I wanted anything done by ARB, I could use the Public phone outside to ring them in Sydney.
ARB did nothing with the suspension until I made it to Sydney, where I had to argue to get 2 failed shocks replaced,plus the damage they did to my underside of the vehicle.
Buying a Turbo Diesel Toyota?, Make sure you go 100% Toyota FActory Turbo!!!
ARB make out they are some sort of AeronauticalGradeOffroadEngineers truth is they are
