The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

After 20 years of dealing, they told me last year they would no long ship. They were very apologetic and in short, the cost and effort of dealing, especially given the low value of most of the parts, just didn't warrant it from a business perspective. Nor did they wish to face jail if they got it wrong! Over burdening and vicous bureaucracy seems to be the price of "freedom"....

I went to their shop about 10 years ago. Some very interesting Thompsons on display.
And the artillery pieces in the car park!
I am not surprise they stopped doing international.
TBH I thought they had stopped year ago.
Marlin 1894 barrels for $45 oh well!

There was talk about ITAR being relaxed now that Trumpy was in power, but that doesn't seem to have happened.

Numrich stopped being of use some years ago. Changed from catalogue based to one of the most annoying websites to get search results on.

A lot of USA firms seem to hide behind the umbrella of ITAR & use it as an excuse for no international orders (yet they DO STILL export to Canadia...! Go figure)

I think a number of places thought that. I've been trying to get a few parts from the States and been told that give them a few weeks and they should be able to sell internationally now Trump was at the helm. Seems stuff that was going to change has fallen by the wayside with other Trumped up promises.

Damnit, they were the only place (I've found) that you can buy the tiny bolt pieces for the S&W 15-22

Yeah, I do wonder if Brexit might change that.

Not all the while we have "particular" trading arrangements in the Middle East...

All very complicated, convoluted and paranoid, by all accounts.

ITAR is an example of overeach in a VERY big way. Laws designed to deny supplies to dubious poeple are applied to civilians whilst supplies to bad people continue. Who would have thought that eh.

If you want to go through all the paperwork and end user agreements then one suposes ITAR is not an issue, ITAR being primarily an American issue. Brexit won't change that.
