I'm heading to the USA soon and looking at buying some firearm accessories while I'm over there, as they're significantly cheaper than in Australia.

Mainly looking at non-functional/cosmetic parts such as stocks, handguards, grips and mounts. For example, a Magpul SGA stock or Zhukov handguard.

Has anyone had experience purchasing these types of accessories in the US and bringing them back to Australia in checked luggage?

From what I've read, a lot of these parts don't require Australian import permits, but US export regulations seem to be the bigger issue.

Just wondering what people's experiences have been, whether any paperwork was required, and what accessories can legally be brought back without permits.

I'm based in SA. Cheers!

Really want to get a custom Platypus but seems stores will only get premade ones. Anyone found a way?

Anyone recently done a renewal ? Looking at the gunsafe data they are talking 50 days to do a renewal ?

Surely it cant take that long to do a renewal ....

I’m looking at buying a break action/under over for shooting clays on our farm. I’m left handed - but getting left handed firearms is tricky. How important is it for me to get a LH shotgun or could I get away with a right handed? The Templeton Nero comes in left hand but I also like the look of the ATA 686 and they only have RH.
