Long-Story-Short ... NZ CUSTOMS (Border Protection) impounded and destroyed TWO of the 5 round magazines because - while the ORDER specified the four mags - the IMPORT PERMIT only stated Two magazines.
Pardini Target Pistol For ISSF Bull's-Eye Shooting.
- One number - or letter may make a significant difference to pedantic officialdom .. So bend over here comes another 'cock-up' ..
Shooting mate "Jay" fancied a Kel-Tec PMR-30 ( .. by now he's probably beginning to go off the idea 😆)
- Back in March 2018 he arranged for an importer to get one from their supplier in USA. All sorts of requirements were met on the understanding that if on arrival it failed to be 'Type Approved' by NZ Police HQ. it would not be released but instead would be forfeit.
- Around two months ago ( 8 months after the order) he heard that the new gun had landed and was with the AUTHORITIES in the Capitol.
Now .. a further two months later .. some total ten months after ordering - the importer has sadly informed him that the US Dealer had sent .... wait for it .... NOT a PMR-30 but a very-naughty-unlawful-in-NZ CMR-30.
.. Sighs,
Marty K.
After researching & writing 1,036 blogs I've got something NEW to try .. I've signed-up to Patreon. - In over five years I've not made one cent from this .. NOW you can send me a wee support $ - starting from $1. to get all this stuff from New Zealand - over a year that's nearly the price of one Shooting magazine. - Am I worth it?
