That's very odd, nothing in the title or description that maybe tricks the site into thinking you are buying a blade?

It's a sign from above not to buy cheap Chinese junk on ebay ;)

Those look identical to the cheap Chinese lasers I own :-) The larger one with the 3-screw mount has been on my air-rifles, .22's, 12ga. and several centrefire rifles. For $40 I've had it nearly ten years and replaced the battery at least once. It's a good bit of kit that I also want to try on a pistol at some point.

Yeah managed to buy a cheap chinese junky one for $15 posted..as mentiond i simply want it to practise my unsighted shooting (without actually shooting) for the 7m component of the Service pistol shoot....

Not sure why that Qld police thing was coming up..maybe because it mentioned "Pistol" or something in the heading...

I guess weapons branch and customs might have certain words "flagged' to try and stop online sales of certain items, unfortunately sometimes maybe innocent things get caught in that net also..

I've got the LS 700, It's definitely made in Australia, very compact.
Not sure about the bottom one, no mention of being made in Australia in the description.
I bought it after lucking out on a cheap Chinese pos.

Instinctive pistol shooting for Service and Cowboy is also why I want to practice with the laser :-)
