The firearms are not coming from a shop, a letter outlining "Genuine Need" has to be attached due to the new bulls**t, and transfer will be done by travelling dealer. I may get something interstate as well, which will also require a letter, but that will transfer via a shop. Cheers.

juststarting wrote:Marlin in .357 - I'd think about that... I have a Marlin in 44Mag and I had a lot of issues with 'Marlin jam'. It's a complete lockup after double feed, one on lifter, one under and requires field strip (remove lever) to mitigate. It's an inherent problem with Marlins in pistol calibers. Something to do with thin radius on one of the edges on the lifter. Over time it (lifter edge) wears out and allows second round to go in. It can be fixed temporarily, but over time it will happen again if original lifter is used without heavy modifications (or better one is ordered). I had that happen and ended up ordering an 'improved' lifter form Brownells. Also did a lot of other work, since I'm intimately familiar with it's internals. Works very well now and I love it, however, thought I'd throw this in, in case someone is thinking about it Marlin in pistol calibers.

...and then there's the family operated courier companies, importer,/wholesalers, international freight companies, US, Brazillian, Italian, German, Spanish, trucking companies, manufacturers, materials suppliers, mining companies, powder manufacturers, primer manufacturers, cartridge case makers, safe makers...even firearms registry staff.
But apart from that, what have the Romans ever done for us?

Wow, I wanna see photos of that one
I only managed to buy three rifles for March, the Uberti Model 66, the Henry Classic .22LR, and the Remington M1903-A3 which should arrive this week. My brother-in-law seized the crank and in my old 250 so I sunk a lot of cash into finding a replacement engine for that instead of buying rifles.
