[QUOTE="EXPRESS, post: 6187, member: 1441"] [b]Re: G\'day to all (new member)[/b] The problems with building a rifle here are principaly two; The "Banco Nazionale di Prova" and the "Catalogo Nazionale delle Armi" The first is essantailly a testing facility that must give the ok on ANY mod performed on a firearm that does not alter it's original form. Be it something as simple as threading for a brake, (which should actually go throught the Catalogo too, but they close a blind eye on that one) If you do so much as change barrel length, profile or type, action, mag capacity etc. it must be re-entered into the national catalog as if it were a "new" weapon. In order to be cataloged first it must pass the testing bank, then the descision is made to accept it on the catalog. The process can take several years. It's usually about a year for a commercialy made firearm. We still don't have the .17HMR nor have the WSSM's even been heard of here yet. Maybe by Christmas we will have the .17HMR, I doubt it. I will not alter the rifle's original form so as not to have to enter it to the catalog, but it will have to go through the testing bank. That's why I need to start with something that is very close to what I want to end up with. I couldn't tell you when the ban on military cartridges was lifted here, I think they still enforce in in France, maybe Spain too. I'm still not sure on how I'll go about this project. If I can fit a Sako M75 action into the McMillan stock I will just buy the Varminter and be done with it. Otherwise I'll start with the action(which is considered to be a firearm in itself) then add the barrel(must conform to one of the cataloged models that action is found on) then the stock(no problems there) I hope it all works out, if not I can always just buy the factory rifle and accurize...
