Cheapest K31's start at around the £350 = $721 looking a bit like yours before the refurb, for mint examples £500+

GP11 was for sale for £68 = $140 a 100 not seen any for sale for months, our dealers do not have the buying power as the US or Canada there is not the market for guns and ammo here. So many are anti gun even our people in power.

To give you an idea of what it costs the dealers.............I was speaking with the manager of my local Canadian Tire a while ago, he told me he makes nothing on the rifles, but 100% on the ammo. He buys his stocks from North Sylva..... a wholesaler in Ontario.

If we send you a sketch of how to connect a GPS and servo motor to the tiller of a small canoe fitted with a sail...

Don't mess around, just drive over when the tide is out.

Seriously though, what is stopping you importing your own ? It's not even far, it's only one time zone away.

It should cost you much less than it costs here.

Laws, ooman, laws. It's hard enough to get Mr Plod to allow us to hold 1000 rounds let alone a pallet load ....

I remember them not wanting to let me have a FAC , and using every excuse to prevent me from having one............ Eventually I got a solicitor to handle my application and I got my certificate, then they seemed to always want to take it off me. They succeeded eventually. I then left the country, problem solved.

Also you need an import licence and need to be an RFD I would have thought to buy bulk + secure storage area all has to be locked away, (RFD registered firearms dealer)


Question what area were you in having problems about your FAC.
