Cant get too many @anderset20 as you are limited per order to under $100. I am sure you will be able to get an import permit from your AO not a big issue.

A BCG is a restricted part, so with the export fee, more like $560 to your door.

@Banana I emailed Brownells to cancel and Sandy has said,

"Order #11xxxxx.00 has item #100-016-550, the value is less than $100.00, there it can ship. No fees or documentation required.

Please advise"

So.....Ive asked for it to be delivered, I guess we will find out........

I bought 2 from brownells in December no worries, had to get the arms officer to email the customs guy to release though

It was Rainier Arms that told me BCGs were restricted regardless of price. Never asked Brownells, just assumed they'd be the same.

Anyone got a spare adjustable buffer tube setup and/or magpul either acs-l or ctr by any chance

If you buy me one of these, I'll swap you a CTR.

I had one and yes it was accurate, but it was sloppy between receivers and the finish on it was terrible. Could see the machining marks on the bolt.

Went to a spikes and was blown away at the quality difference and for the price any of the new ones are now I wouldn't even look at a gun city one

I think Rangers are over-priced especially against the likes of nzar15.com having DPMS "oracle" AR15s for a very good price, seems to be sold out so this seems the next best deal,

DPMS AR15 Oracle 16" Blued Carbine 223 w/ Thordsen A-Cat Stock - ar15, carbine, stock, standard, a3, receiver, ... - Serious Shooters



Great fun....but 300rounds at the range is no problem to get through. Buy for this summer/autumn has to be a Dillion 650 I think.

[northdude]

That stock is one of the weirdest or ugly can't make up my mind I have seen for a while

[Digit]

We have the Core15 in stock at $1599. These are better value than the DPMS linked above. A step above the DPMS in quality, and come with low profile gas block.

I've handled one and it feels awkward as fuck, as well as having the aesthetics of a baboon's arse. Fuck knows why they don't stick a Spear or something on them, they'd sell twice as many. People are reluctant to even pick them up, let alone pay money for the things!

What gun bags are being used for AR's?
I have just fitted a Vortex Strikefire on mine, and it no longer fits in the hard case. Been thinking about getting a suitable soft bag. But having trouble finding anything in NZ. Most available aren't wide enough for an AR with optics. And no one will ship out of the US as a gun bag is so dangerous and tactical.

[Kscott]

Sigh... as I hang my head in shame, I picked up a bag from these guys last year :
Rifle / Gun Case & Bags - eoutlet E.L.A - Buy Tactical Gear, Airsoft, Hunting Military Outdoor Equipment, Gold, Diamond Rings, Jewellery and more.

The plus, it holds my AR and other rifles, plus gear and fits in the boot of the car without having to drop down the rear seat. I travel/fly with my Plano case which locks, but from range to range, my soft case from EOutlet does the job nicely.

Cheers.
I'll check them out.
