    HW45 Direct German import

    Has anyone imported a 45 direct from Germany? If so, does it have all the daft white writing down the side? (Warnings and such, not "HW45".)

    I'll let you know when it arrives (hopefully in the next couple of days), but it has it on the website's pictures, so I'm expecting it will......

    From Sportwaffen Scneider Mr Tinbum. If you google it they should come top of the list. All sorts of interesting stuff on there. Tried copying a link but the iPad is playing up (well, I'm being a technophobe)... There's a translate button at the top of the page, and I've got the hang of navigating the website now.

    Can't say whether they're the cheapest or not, but I have used them before for barrels etc and had excellent prompt service. I'm sure a few others on the forum have used them and found the same.

    Makes a mockery of the VCR act!

    Hope this helps,

    Tim

    HW45 arrived today, ordered on 30th Dec! Pretty good I'd say, especially with a public holiday in the middle.

    The only problem that I can see with the ease and value for money of this service is that it's going to make me more inclined to spunk cash!

    I can confirm that it does have the daft white writing, as predicted!

    Cheers,

    Tim

    Is it the same power as an official (HC) import, or do the Germans have a lower power limit for pistols, like they do for rifles?

    On another forum I saw a limit of 3ftlbs being mentioned.

    I'd be obliged if you could let me know.

    The German power limit is the same for pistols as for rifles.
    Good deals with these members
