Importing Pistol Recoil Springs

Post by spartan71 » 18 Apr 2018, 8:55 am

hi,

Does anyone have any experience in importing recoil springs for pistols.
They are not listed as firearms parts on the home affairs website so I'm assuming that you don't need a B709?
Having said that the US company Gunsprings list them on their package as 'firearms parts' apparently.

I'm surprised you found a US supplier willing to send firearm parts outside of the US.
Is this the same company?
http://gunsprings.com.au/
Brownells.com.au also list them.
