What to do for spare parts.

[Die Judicii]

I recently bought a new Push Button Release centrefire rifle.
Which is,,,,,,,,, legal here in Qld.

However, in Albansleazy's ultimate kneejerk lack of wisdom,,,, the federal govt has banned further imports Australia wide.

So the ridiculous situation now seems to be, that it's legal for me to own the rifle but illegal to gain access to any spare parts if needed in the future.

Where to from here,

You bought a Verney-Carron?
What calibre? Any report - likes/dislikes?

Mate ASA has just released a video saying they will honour spares for your rifle into the future, but ONLY for approved warranty claims.

Whether this stays fact is most likely not true.

So if you haven't bought the gun-specific extra mags (like the box-mag shotgun like my wife's) or other bits, it's over and that's it. So it's suck eggs, lucky she bought four.
Luckily for you, the mags in your 223 can be found, in better quality than supplied (P-mags)
Dent one of the paper-thin soft mag tubes, you're stuffed. Crack one of the plastic parts made from recycled ice-cream buckets, whoops.
Cocking handle flies off into the dirt (how great is that design, eh, with a ball-bearing and biro spring holding it in?) it's all over.
These are things buyers in Warwick are sucking up now, and their guns are unusable, according to one dealer anyway, copping the heat from farmer-buyers who don't cotton-wool these rifles. They aren't standing up too well, is the scuttlebutt from blokes trying to use them frequently.

As far as the plastic bits that wear out fast, like the trigger groups and forends that crack, well, maybe that's going to be in big demand at the gun wrecking yards.

"deliberate act in taking advantage of a tragedy to further disarm the community as much as dared in one event - just wait till the next one by the imported terrorists"

Fixed it for you mate.
