[QUOTE="Flyhalf, post: 671283, member: 50674"] Derek , we down here are pretty much resigned to the fact that all our shooting products are imported and we are not , as a result , as parochial as US shooters , we use pretty much anything that is available . I for one would be only too happy to support locally made equipment and components but sadly , any local made stuff usually goes under. The population base here is the major culprit , consider , there are more people in California than the entire population of Australia and we suffer from the ' grass is always greener ' syndrome ! ADI powder was once called MULWEX , but our Federal Government sold it off and is now Thales , a french company. The .260 Rem I am building at present, for example , all of the hardware originates from the US with the exception of the barrel. Not possible to walk into a gunstore and buy over the counter a REM 700 SA magazine box or spare spring , I have to import. BTW , Boyds Gunstocks , I had a Laminate T'hole Varmint stock here is 8 days , total cost $158.00 AUD , and I can't fault it , kudos to Boyds. regards Mike. [/QUOTE]
