    From memory once you go over US$100 you have to do the arms export paperwork, but it doesn't matter how much is on the order any longer - one item or many - it's just the one set of paperwork as far as the US in concerned. Now as for our Customs, that could get complicated with the multiple parties.....

    I am keen on one also, have messaged digit about em. I believe that once you hit about 2 grand you need an import or duty agent? You can register yourself as one I believe but its a bit of a rigmorol

    Digit could probably do a group order for a good price. I would get on board

    Ken is just waiting on the final permit to pass then can start bringing them in. Will be a package with barrel bolt and mag I believe. Will be a 6.5 grendel bolt which is slightly diff dimensions than the 762 39 bolt. 18 or 20 inch only for now I think.

    did anything ever happen with this? Looking into things I'm tempted to convert my AR into 6.5 grendel. Only thing putting me off is handloading, doesn't look to be any factory rounds in NZ i can find? My logic is I would like AR-10 like performance in a smaller frame - am I way off here?

    I believe that nzar15 still has them on order, typical hurry up and wait game.
    If you want ar10 performance have you thought about a gen 2 dpms? Nzrac has the lightweight hunter version and they are practically ar15 size
