Importing a bullpup stock from the states

Hi guys.

Iv just received an email from Jim Bunting regarding a stock he makes

Bill,

I have shipped one to Scotland and one to Australia so it can be done. It is not cheap though. The Australia one was $250.00 USD just in shipping costs. Currently I have a waiting list with over 210 names on it which means a wait of 18 months or so. Let me know if you want to be included.
I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks again,

Jim Bunting

Hi Jim

I am very impressed with your 10-22 stocks. that is exactly what I am looking for.

Small Issue, I live in New Zealand. would you be prepaired to sell me one and ship it over?

Please and thankyou

Cheers

Any Idea why it would cost 250 for freight?

that is the Item

With 18.5 Std barrel, its 3" under legal length......

Id over come that by permanently fitting a suppressor I suppose.

Umm? What category would this fall under?

seeing as it isnt a military pattern Im hoping A-cat

Okay, it may just be me but that looks butt ugly

meh rugers are never much to look at. at least this will be functional

I can't really see how it will be any more functional than the original unit, other than having heaps of rails to attach lasers, and torches.

Bill, if you want you can modify some airsoft guns to take a 10/22 if you want to sex it up. G36 an P90 conversions are common

If you call turning a 10/22 into a 10lb pig functional - then go for gold
Just end up with a shiny, square turd :D

I think a 10/22 would look better in one of these stocks

Just another point to consider Bill is the trigger. I have fired several bullpup weapon designs and not one had a trigger that could be worked to something reasonable. They requre and actuator arm by design and the flex and slop hinder a decent trigger. There may have been improvements but Id say they would still be shit compared to a standard 10/22 mech.

Considering the police consider them "undesirable" and the supposed shocking triggers on bullpups i wouldn't go there,but then again hell WHY not!! I was thinking of doing a bullpup SKS a while back but decided against it on the grounds of I want more AR's

yea a bullpup centerfire is on the cards later down the track. a short little 22 that I can compactly sling over my shoulder is what Im after.
Yea triggers are the complicated bit.
I was hoping to get something a little more robust than a airsoft plastic shell as I really do plan to use it but it is under consideration.
Its looking more and more like I will have to make something up myself

Looks heavy. Probably cost so much in shipping because he sent it Fedex or UPS or something.


Bullpups are cool. I really really want a DTA.

The trigger "issue" is mostly in the minds of people who read internet forums - I have personally fired 3 different bullpups which had very good to excellent triggers, including a match anschutz home engineered jobbie that was very good indeed.

If you are buying a walther G22 or a $200 plastic conversion or firing an AUG which should have been replaced 10 years ago then theres your problem. If that guy is making a decent system it could be absolutely fine.

But FAAAARK that thing is an ugly pigzilla - why not go the whole hog and get a SL8 while you are at it :pacman:

Just get a 10-22 (or whatever) and cut it down to minimum size - they are freaking tiny and very handy at min length. Its a .22 so barrel length past 12 inches is pretty much irrelevant.

This seems to be blatant bot marketing
Are you even a person?

Soooooo just to dig up an old thread instead of starting another, and the fact the question never got answered:

I wan to import a stock from the states but the maker doesn't do international shipping, only domestically. Can anyone tell me if I need an import licence on my end, and if the person in the states needs anything special if I was to just ship it to a friend (or something like youpost) and have it shipped on. Failing that could my partner or myself fly to the states and pick it up hassle free?

And just well we are at it, folding stocks, PROS and CONS from those who have had them.

1. Yes you need an import permit at this end,
2. Yes if its over a hundy $US you will need an Export permit to get it out of the US.
3. If your mate sends it and gets caught he will most likely be a guest of the government for a while (like Mr Tipple). In my experience US authorities have no sense of humor and a sticklers for the rules

4. As for yourself going then you also need the correct paperwork to get it out If not see point 3
Hope this helps, what was the stock

Perfect cheers mikee.

NZ Asia tradng are the NZ agents for these (it looks like that on the web page) you could try contacting them otherwise Brownells might do a "special order" for you. However the manufacturer would need to be "registered for export" with the US State dept for this t work

Thanks for your help mikee. Do you have a link to their website? Can't seem to find it?

Edit: Don't worry I follow now. Will flick them an email.
