    Legally that may be the case, but I know every gunshop that I have sent through required the form before they accepted it. They need to know the recipient purchaser has a FAL. It may sound silly but...

    Hermitage liked post by Tedz50 On thread : bolt pulling out of action

    Hermitage liked post by norsk On thread : Sako 30-06. What's it worth?
    I think there are a lot of old blokes still clinging to the concept that their Mauser/ Mannlicher/Sako is worth big bucks. That's not the case any longer and they will go to their graves still...
