Sad news from Springfield Sporters
This is now on their site, Its been about 6 weeks since I was there, so it could be brand new, or less so.
Is there someone around who can ask if this is likely to be temporary or longer? They don't really answer emails very well.
I'm sure we're all aware of the federal trouble that can pour down on someones head, I really really hope its not whats happening, I like them as folks too much.
'Notice:

Its not just down under...
Things are getting tough for exporting gun parts to Canada too. :(
There has always been a bit of trouble with what the U.S. State Department allows to be exported. I tried to buy an aftermarket scope mount for my P17 from Brownel's years ago. Everything but the mount was shipped.
Now its getting worse. What I hear is that The U.S. State Department has made the paperwork horrendous for US companies to export so they don't want to be bothered or can't afford the added expense. And the U.S. DoS is making more milspec equipment prohibited for export. :thdown:
