Tez,
Its not that bad mate, just a bit of paper work each end.
By the way customs usually want to test fire the firearms when they come into the country to 'make sure they are safe and have the correct calibre stamped on them'.
cheers,
Shane

Mate i shit you not.
When individual firearms come into the country varst majority of them are 'tested'.
When the importers bring in a shipment they usually just randomly select a handfull from each shipment to try.
Just making the country 'safer' i guess!
cheers,
Shane

Ah yes. The fickle finger of the bureaucracy intrudes upon reason. We have it here in the states too. Maryland has a state law requiring a fired cartridge for each pistol sold for "ballistics". Maybe that means something for a glock but means little for a revolver. So the rest of the nation gets the fired case when they buy the pistol. Guess who gets the expense of that little law? pogy in wonderland.
