Reliable FFL Gunsmith Contact

[Chauncy Spring Australia]

I’m a registered firearms repairer in Western Australia
I spent 14 years residing in the United States as a lawful permanent resident

My only regret was not taking the gunsmith course path in the United States, however here in Australia, recognition of prior learning and background in machine shop and associated trades with several knowledge test gives you the ability to apply and receive accreditation

The problem we have here is obtaining accurate and lawful intellectual information as it is termed in relation to Firearm specifications design and modification

The misconception about Australia is that we cannot have firearms
This is somewhat true, yes, however, the processes in place to obtain a license are stringent and much too popular disbelief. We do have the ability to possess categorised firearms, although in Western Australia recently to possess anything above 338 Lap became legislatively unlawful

What I am looking for is a reliable and trustworthy like-minded Gun Smith, who is prepared to lawfully communicate diagrams and technical information which you have at your disposal in the United States easier than we can obtain it through our small network of major import distributors here in Australia

I myself currently shoot Sabatti Precision firearms yet have also savage Ruger, Howa, browning and Rimington long rifles of varying caliber

I am a former Australian defence force veteran, semi retired due to my exposure to nasty things in the 1980s and 1990s throughout my service
I don’t wish to get into debates nor do I have a political agenda, and I do hold patriotism towards the United States close to my heart as I was there through 911 and my children and most trusted friends still reside throughout the United States

I’m not a paid member of this forum, yet I look forward to making the acquaintance of like-minded individuals who can assist me

I am happy to provide credentials and will not engage in any unlawful activities, nor will I engage in activities within this forum, which would be detrimental to its existence

Cheers
Andrew

The problem that you're going to run into is that most firearm techinical information in the US comes under some form of export control regulation. Either under the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR) Act or the Export Administration Regulation Act.

Those are US laws that are very complex to understand and comply with, which carry hefty penalties. That makes most businesses that don't have specialist legal staffs wary of exporting any techincal data that may be restricted by either of those Acts.

And yes, even discussion of that technical data with a non US citizen constitutes an "export". Exports can be done, but they require approval, by way of export licensing, from either the US Department of State (for ITAR regulated technical data) or the US Department of Commerce (for EAR regulated technical data). None of that is simple or easy and it matters not at all that Australia (or insert your country of choice here) is friendly to the US.

Cheers for that insight Terry

I thought living in America became difficult during the Brown man Administration when I was there, I was like a “Joe the Plumber” and also lost my eligibility to work for Mantek International as a Mechanic/Contractor to the US Army in the sandbox because of him!………but it seems worse now that the Pensioner is at the helm! I do have a few law abiding friends who apparently became “terror-like-ist… type people almost overnight when the Pensioner took seat because they are Patriots!

It must be getting insane my friend!

Ah, we properly refer to him as the “potato” as in he has as much intellect left as a spud.

No mate, not infiltrating anything nor would I bother
Seems we’re all in this together

You better take off your tin foil hat and if you have nothing constructive to add or but then perhaps you’re a “glowie” upholding your cover and placing the “mule” into the thread!
Have a nice day

That’s Gold
It is hilarious watching him on the news
Looks like an embalmed deceased man in a suit with a bad makeup job

Nothing I have explained in my post is new or even recent.

The Arms Export Control Act, from which the ITAR regulations gain their authority was passed in 1976.

The EAR regulations stem from the Export Control Act of 1940 and its many reauthorizations since then.

Plenty of administrations before Obama's made use of them.

Yep
And if I want firearms related material or parts I simply buy from a manufacturer or FFL and file a form B709 with Australian Customs/Firearms branch through the state Authority which I reside and as long as it’s not a prohibited import it’s simple

I do have a bit of knowledge mate!

But thanks for your input
