[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 902452, member: 35183"] Gert, as a former South African, are you saying that importation of rifles from the US is now prohibited ? Surely you mean that you cannot import as an individual ? I assume that any licensed dealer still has ways and means ? Do gun stores no longer sell Savage or Remington rifles ? Honestly, you would be better served by trying to find a Savage 112 or a Long action Remington. It is getting very difficult to find spares for Mausers now. I would not want to work with a rifle that I could not get spare parts for. Could you not work from a Musgrave rifle ? [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Musgrave_rifle]Musgrave rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia[/url] It is my understanding that the company makes a Mauser clone of modern materials and manufacturing techniques. They also make barrels. Some of my family members living in the Eastern Free State own custom Musgrave rifles that they seem very satisfied with. [/QUOTE]
