They're here! Reproduction No32 scopes.

[Brian Dick]

Longshaor and Tower06, U.S. export law doesn't enter into it at all if you're stateside unless you sell the scope to someone overseas and want to ship it to them. Importation to the USA from overseas is no problem except that many nations now require an export license in order to ship them which requires an import license from here to get approved! It's an endless boondoggle. Just think of all the crime we're stopping!

Thanks, Brian! I thought I was missing something.

Cheers!

I had an interesting conversation today with a Numrich customer service rep. regarding my defective no. 32 scope. She gave me two options, send it back and get a refund or they could replace it. When i asked about the replacement option she told me they have more scopes on way but don't know when they will arrive. Longshaor, looks like you or me one was shot a line.

On the bright side however, we had a Firearms Control debate in the House of Commons just before Christmas and MP after MP stood up and said that you can make as many laws as you like but they will only affect the law abiding. Progress?

[Peter Laidler]

That's so correct Beery. Criminals, by definition simply don't comply with the law. Oh, don't get me going............

[PrinzEugen]

Yes Peter and Beery: Harder laws don't stop gun crime, as proved by the non-effect of the handgun ban. Not that they still don't like a stab now and then in the face of all evidence to the contrary: who could forget the appalling scheme to ban all deactivated guns, as put forward in the wake of the shooting of a young lad (with undoubtedly an illegal weapon) by a minister desperate to show willing to tackle the 'problem'. At least the wind doesn't seem to be blowing in too disastrous a direction in terms of new legislation at present!

[Longshaor]

The only murder that ever hit close to me was a friend of my little sister who was beaten to death with a baseball bat. If the illuminated intellectual elite are sooo concerned with protecting us knuckle-dragging Neanderthals from our own extinction, how about banning baseball bats? Yeah I know it's inherantly un-American, but do you really think the gun-ban nuts care about something as trivial as a national past time when the survival of us lesser mortals hangs in the balance and we're just too dumb to see it? Please excuse the cynicism dripping off and puddling under your monitors...

Hey, Vintage Hunter, HOOYAH!!! I'm waiting patiently for the next shipment.

Yes it was illegal. In fact a Prohibited Weapon (Section 5) since the Firearms Amendment Act 1997.) It was a fully functioning Smith & Wesson Hand Ejector 2nd Model, in .455. (There were good pictures of it and ammunition on TV, when it was recovered from its hiding place.)

Anyone out there in Forumland interested in a paper 'wot I rit' a couple of years ago for someone, detailing the requirements for converting No42 and/or No53 telescopes to No32 Mk3 spec. Mk3 is FAR easier and simpler than the Mk1 or 2..............

Yes please, Peter

I'm certainly interested - not sure I could do it but ..... it would be nice to see what was involved and if I could persude someone to have a go for me.
