I'm assuming you do, although it can fit other types of firearms, ie pump action shotgun.

For the import side of things at this end you will either need a Pol67E signed off by Joe Green or a letter from your AO stating its intended purpose is A-Cat firearm.
Can't someone bring in a heap for stock for A cat guns
Thanks guys.
All that paperwork required for a US $5.60 part.
FFS.
Bless all that bureaucracy.
For a $5.60 exposure give it a hoon and see what happens. You might get lucky and it comes through sweet as?
The joys of MSSA imports :)
Surely you won't need to import one, there will be butt loads of surplus ones floating around with the new A-cat compliant stocks ?Quote:

How do you tell if it's A2. I have a grip not being used off my AR15 I used to own You could have it if it s what you need I "can't " use it now.Quote:

Yep.
They might even charge you years later.
On Target has A2 grips for $30, which is far less hassle really, I'll just have to wear the price difference.
Probably cheaper considering the shipping costs from Brownells
You were willing to jump through hoops and piss around with buying from overseas for a part that is available here for 30 bucks? Ummm righto... times must be really tough for some.
Sometimes you get so used to things not being available locally that you just look overseas immediately
Support a local vendor so that they're to able continue supporting our sport, especially one that is specifically geared towards B & E-cat stuff.
Use it or lose it, I agree $30 is frustrating when compared to the price in USD, but it isn't a big hit.

Agreed, been there too... but in this instance they seem to have the item, hopefully in stock.
I think we will start to see a lot more variety in AR products this year. Retailers are just starting to realise that their is huge growth in AR's and it is not going away with the recent attempts by Police to stifle it.
Update on this.Quote:

That's another reason to shop with Brownells and with locals like Digit.
Some other NZ dealer/vendors have no friggen idea when it comes to customer service.
No wonder the likes of Wills, Hamills and Sportsways are gone burger or heading that way.
Rant over.
Did you get one? I not ill send you one when home
Its cool thanks Spanners, scored one from Herbmeister in the end.
Of course, just after my rant, one of the dealers emailed me anyway. Oops.
