Thread: Tigr 7,62x54R rifles

With illegal sanctions applied to Russian companies and individulas, money cannot be transfered for goods and services to those Russian companies and persons. Countries under US domination - like Panama, have seized shipments from Russia when entering their ports or jurisdiction. The market is played with loaded dice.

What does the USA have to do with this? They are not involved in the NZ-Russia fta, or several others that NZ has in place.

Sounds like a stupid ideological rant to me

So why is it that Gun City can sell a Tigr with the same device attached to the muzzle as A cat. When I inquired with them, I was told it was a muzzle brake and not a problem. Why is their situation different to yours? I already have a Tigr in 308 and would seriously consider a long barrel 54R, but only in semi auto.

Not sure we understand the issue here - in our earlier posts, we noted that the barrel extension was a Muzzle Break and therefore, legal under the terms of the E Cat rule. As the firearm is NOT semi-automatic, we can sell it with a 10 round magazine. We noted that the firearm was made specifically for the UK market as a manual operated firearm and imported into NZ.

If you don't want a bolt action TIGR, that's fine - we will be importing the semi-auto versions later.

Read the post - nothing political - just facts. US currency is the Reserve Currency and US banks control the flow of it through Intermediary Banks in the US. As the US has posted unlawful scanctions on Russia and Russian citizens, US Banks deny transfer of money to them. Without the flow of currency, there is no trade.

As for controlling others - we have documents which clearly show that a foreign nation unlawfully detained thre containers of product from Russia and would not let it be transfered, because of US sanctions.

So explain how a FTA with Russia benefits NZ when the US impose their own rules?
