Cant get too many @anderset20 as you are limited per order to under $100. I am sure you will be able to get an import permit from your AO not a big issue.

@Banana I emailed Brownells to cancel and Sandy has said,
"Order #11xxxxx.00 has item #100-016-550, the value is less than $100.00, there it can ship. No fees or documentation required.
Please advise"
So.....Ive asked for it to be delivered, I guess we will find out........
Anyone got a spare adjustable buffer tube setup and/or magpul either acs-l or ctr by any chance :)

so are the rangers a piece of shit or is it just that gun city sell them people that ive talked to that have used one say they are accurate the ar never realy did much for me but after shooting one I got a little bit interested
I had one and yes it was accurate, but it was sloppy between receivers and the finish on it was terrible. Could see the machining marks on the bolt.
Went to a spikes and was blown away at the quality difference and for the price any of the new ones are now I wouldn't even look at a gun city one

I think Rangers are over-priced especially against the likes of nzar15.com having DPMS "oracle" AR15s for a very good price, seems to be sold out so this seems the next best deal,
DPMS AR15 Oracle 16" Blued Carbine 223 w/ Thordsen A-Cat Stock - ar15, carbine, stock, standard, a3, receiver, ... - Serious Shooters
:drool:
Great fun....but 300rounds at the range is no problem to get through. :cool: Buy for this summer/autumn has to be a Dillion 650 I think. :thumbsup:
That stock is one of the weirdest or ugly can't make up my mind I have seen for a while
We have the Core15 in stock at $1599. These are better value than the DPMS linked above. A step above the DPMS in quality, and come with low profile gas block.
I've handled one and it feels awkward as fuck, as well as having the aesthetics of a baboon's arse. Fuck knows why they don't stick a Spear or something on them, they'd sell twice as many. People are reluctant to even pick them up, let alone pay money for the things!
What gun bags are being used for AR's?
I have just fitted a Vortex Strikefire on mine, and it no longer fits in the hard case. Been thinking about getting a suitable soft bag. But having trouble finding anything in NZ. Most available aren't wide enough for an AR with optics. And no one will ship out of the US as a gun bag is so dangerous and tactical.
Sigh... as I hang my head in shame, I picked up a bag from these guys last year :
Rifle / Gun Case & Bags - eoutlet E.L.A - Buy Tactical Gear, Airsoft, Hunting Military Outdoor Equipment, Gold, Diamond Rings, Jewellery and more.
The plus, it holds my AR and other rifles, plus gear and fits in the boot of the car without having to drop down the rear seat. I travel/fly with my Plano case which locks, but from range to range, my soft case from EOutlet does the job nicely.
Cheers.
I'll check them out.
FWIW I picked up a hard case from Super Cheap that takes a couple of ARs easily on special for $170 down from the usual $200 - it's a cheap version of a Pelican I guess but the special is on for Bathurst weekend and the case is good for the price
Not after really a hard case. They are a PITA to fit in back of the Hilux when there's a "few" others on the seat. :ORLY:
Anyone brought a scope in from usa ? I have a relative coming back in december and can bring a vortex in from brownells.From reading some of these threads this may be a problem? He will have the receipt and invoice for this so he may have to declare at the border. Thanks in advance
Hey RES thanks for that - seems some US ITAC regulations are in play here with "MILSPEC" Vortex Spitfire 3x etched glass. Brownells wont supply this scope outside the USA. I can buy same here for an extra NZD$50 so wont bother with the potential drama here.

Brownells don't ship any optics
@Simo,
US350 x 1.5 FX x 1.15 GST = $603 + postage.
Reloaders have them for 599 in stock at the moment... hence cheaper to buy in NZ.
Vortex Spitfire 3x Prism (SPR-1303) - Red Dot Sights - Optics - Reloaders Supplies Ltd
Organised one today after the sums were done!! Ta for the info though
Checked this out yesterday at Reloaders, compared the Aimpoint and the Vortex. The Aimpoint I looked at had no reticule but red dot and was a sharp image and $700+. The Vortex was good BUT... the reticule wasn't aligned at 90 degrees to the milspec. The bottom of the reticule had a decided lean to the right at the bottom. They are getting some more in and I hope they are not all like this. I saw this issue with the AR332 on some of the You Tube videos. So have to wait unfortunately.
Another option is the lucid 4x
I had I look at one yesterday and was impressed, you should be able to land one for a bit over $600 or @Digit has them for $700
My mate @ANTMAN just bought the Lucid 4x from Digit. looked through it at the Sika show, was pretty good!
Under rated brand...
What are ppls thoughts on keymod v m-lock? I want a front hand guard that I can add a bipod to for each of the upper I am building so trying to decide which to go for. I want as light as I can get yet still be rigid with good cooling and decent quality. Kind of think that it doesnt matter which?
6 of one and half a dozen of the other as far as I can see-but one you go one way or the other you are kind of committed to that system.
But for mounting a Harris bipod I have just tapped a hole and put a sling point on my ar's as its lighter and cheeper than any of the rail adaptors
My HD7 died ages ago and is gathering dust in my reloading room.
Tacking onto the Lucid discussion - anyone played with the M7 RDS lately? Appears to be good value compared to performance.
Here is my AR, NEA 12.5 barrel, dpt can, Bushnell AR optics 1-4x24. Not a bad wee rig.

I bought it off webyshops but I asked the company itself about warranty
Just bought a Lucid P7 4x - nice clear glass and reticule good eye relief and sits on the rifle well with no canting. $799 from NZ AR15 really good to deal with, answered all the questions I had
they are in stock now.
So, giving up smoking (again) and an encouragment is buying an ar in bits with the money I would have spent on death sticks, eg a bit at a time..... anyone brought stuff through brownells recently and can talk me through the undy a US hundy process or anybody gone through the + export process - feel free to start a thread on this
under a hundy USD, simple as as that, add items to your cart, buy. (make sure there exportable items theres a filter for that, and even though they say they're allowed to export brakes they won't) (dont forget any import permits you may need, do this first) (barrels and receivers need export
permits, this will cost $250usd)
you dont get any idea on shipping cost till the order is processed, and varys from $16usd to $40usd (so a sub hundy USD order will set you back upto $200nzd landed)
over a hundy will need export permits, and cost $250usd per order, you will need import order forms this end for everything, (impossible on a-cat), send them to the US with a hand written order. must match your online order.
