Ordering a locating rail from overseas

Post by Lownslow » 20 Mar 2021, 11:57 am

Hi guys

Long time lurker, first time poster here!

Hoping someone can help answer my question - is there any Australian/Victorian restriction on buying a picatinny rail for a rifle from overseas?


The backstory is that I’ve bought a very special small rifle for the small military history fan in the family, but the local dealers don’t sell the rail that I will need to mount a small optic.

This is the rifle: https://www.keystonesportingarmsllc.com ... ifle-only/ (found locally)
This is the rail: https://www.keystonesportingarmsllc.com ... ope-mount/ (not available locally)

Thanks in advance!

G'day Lownslow,
No restrictions at all, but where did you find the rifle? Cheers.

Thanks no1mk3 - a shop up north had one, which was lucky.

Now, is there a US supplier of parts like this that ships internationally and is known good/preferred by people in this forum?

If brownells com have something you want but aren't sure about import then contact brownells Australia and see what they say. I emailed them about a part and they got back to me within a minute or two and sorted it out and made the part available to buy on the Australian store.
