Yep sheesh, two uppers, 5 at various stages of not finished, lost track of lowers now. It's ridiculous. I blame @Glycerine, he got me all giddy on the 9mm AR when I was on the piss one night. :ORLY:
The QC10 stuff is really really nicely made. Would recommend getting one of Ken's kits, cos why not
Not much going on, waiting on parcels to show up,
small packet with charging handle with a Strike Industries latch showed up...

Attachment 54916

ali express, as long as you get one with the steel barrel nut there good to go, search for NSR keymod handguard.Quote:

Be careful NZ Customs doesn't seize it ,as did happen to me about 2 months ago now ... then I had to prove it was for a A cat rifle (which was pretty straight forward)but if it had of been for one of my E cat rifles ,I would have needed to produce a import Permit FFS ....Quote:

If one of you blokes is interested in selling a 9mm AR build ... I have a good mate with $ and his E Endorsement who would take one off your hands .. So please let me know or if you would be interested in doing him a build ?
yep, never been a real issue for me,
Dan's a good guy (customs AO) quick email with whats coming in (never had to with ali express, but every brownells parcel i have to)
stating whats in the parcel and its intended use and a quick pick of my FAL,
released no problems
good chance for him to build his own! its fun, big kids lego'sQuote:

How did you Guys get on importing the uppers/lowers/barrels etc ?
Just asking as I've been waiting now for 6 weeks for a permit for ×3 pistol mags ,which are sitting at customs for 4weeks awaiting my signed permit
didn't, not worth importing those parts (qc10 lower + bolt was gonna cost over $1350 to import, cheaper to buy local)...Quote:

oh the qc10 colt style 9mm lowers are due in a month or 2, round $650?
and barrels are due soon aswell.
unless i can bring it in w/o export permits, Its to costly. And I just don't bother with orders over $100usd
I apply for E permits when i don't need them and have handy when i need them,
waiting times havent been bad for me, but never hurts to have some ready in advance...
the stock permit i had sitting round for a year! almost about to expire, LOL!
you can get stuff from canada much easier, but they dont seam to have any 9mm stuff
How did you go about proving it was for an A cat rifle, if said A cat isn't on their register of firearms?Quote:

my word as a "fit and proper person" was enough, I haven't had to prove a thing
A quick call with Dan at customs , then quick call to local AO then a follow up email cc to customs stating part was for a A cat rifle ... very simple if your straight up and have a good relationship with your AOQuote:

Good to hear - things get confusing when E cat is registered but A cat isn't!

Whats the shipping like on small orders like that like from brownells? They dont seem to have a calculator. I have a couple of low cost bits and pieces I want to pick up but wont bothers if its the standard $50 minimum.Quote:

its a bit random, international shipping isn't calculated/added till shipping
thats because some items may not be "allowed" to ship even though there filter says it might... don't bother with any flash hiders/brakes,
they will remove the item(s) and ship the rest
Parcel Post Priority Mail International is the cheapest shipping method
Do you have the code for the extra power buffer springs I can't seem to find them on brownals web site ,I test fired my 9mm today and it felt really good but still waiting on a buttstock to come through not a lot of felt recoil in it👍

So I just log in to there site pay for it and they send it over to my address ,I don't need to inform customs or anyone been that they are gun parts ,sorry for the questions I have not brought any firearms parts from outside NZ before
yes,
email customs Arms.officer@customs.govt.nz say your expecting a firearms part(s) from brownells,
say exactly whats in it (i cut and paste the shopping cart list) state they are for A-cat use, take a pic of your FAL and send in it.
(the only A-cat part you need a permit for is the action (bcg))
that should be all thats needed, to release your package on arrival.
you can order $100usd of gun parts from brownells without the need for an export permit, (might aswell order the max you can)
(make sure you have the available outside USA filter turned on its 95% correct, they wont export any brakes/flash hiders)
you can order as many non-gun parts on the same order as you like.
Thanks for that ,it sounds real simple I will give it a go��
Ken now has QC10 barrels in stock

Fewwwww lucky I didn't need a 9mm barrel. They went fast!
QC10 14.5" barrel... just need to decide on optic.
have a A2 break on the way... that will do for now.
dunno if I'll shorten the barrel? or buy a longer handguard (maybe both)
what i do know... is im gonna be testing it ASAP!

Saying that I can hit 8" plates at 200 meters with reasonable consistancy using some hold over.
Just ordered a TRS-25 red dot for this, don't see myself using it for more than short range,
also ordered Primary arms 1-4x for my my 300blk
and picked up 100 rounds of winchester 115gr just to function test this weekend
