Waiting

Post by Jeff 8 »

I bought a Martini Cadet in 357 Maximum the other day on abused guns. It is at my LGS, but now I must wait for my permit :( Anyone know how long they take at the moment?

Last one I got a couple of weeks ago was around two and a half weeks. Good luck with it. You will have to tell us how it goes, often wondered about the 357 Max, reckon one in a lever gun would be cool.

My last PTA took 94 minutes. I was a little disappointed it took over an hour to be honest.

No they got out of reloading gear for a while and were doing other engineering work. They seem keen to get back into it, maybe the other work dried up.

Last one I did was around 2 weeks from when it was sent. I really don't see why in this day and age we are still using paper copies and snail mail

I'd hate to put up with that shit. But, you do live in the scared little backwards state. Rumour is your PTA mob are still preparing for Y2k and are having trouble getting ribbon for their dot matrix printers.

Don't you love how quick Vic can process them? Makes me wonder what the other states are doing to be so inefficient.

I have had Simplex Master O frame press for a lot of years and it was second hand when I bought it.

I think you will be happy with your purchase for a lot of years to come.
