I am hoping if the market takes off then the prices will come down but then we have the problem of waiting and I can tell you it manifests itself rather badly here in Australiaicon more so in Western Australia as the rest of Australia treats us like an appendage (pity we have bucket loads of iron ore, gas and oil in W.A sorry I digress).
I think it is great that Criterion have decided to branch out and do stuff for the Enfields and derivatives to keep them going but for us south of the Equator it surely becomes a supply issue
I have had on order from N**A over east some VV-165 for my 6.5 x 284 through my gunshop who gets reminded often and still it has been 2 years coming and still not in sight at all, years ago I sent my 444 Marlin in for warranty work and it had to go over east it took 2 years to get my rifle back! lost, found, supplier change, lost again, then found and shipped home hence I keep it to my local only 26 ks away not 4,000 ks......

Guess we all wait for developments in this new era that is slowly coming, as a footer do not try and get Lothar Walther barrels exported my friend told me he has tried and well how long is a piece of string apparently something to do with the changing and tightening of their export laws after Aus was flooded with illegal Glock pistols and parts.
