Schmidt Rubin, Model G11

The country that avoids war and the country that fights but has a hard time winning have been combined. The Swiss made some excellent firearms and the French made some unique and occasionally inspiring ones. We have added the Belgian and Dutch since they are neighbors.

Well I telephoned them today and spoke to someone who is now fully aware of my anger :cool: I got an email about 10 minutes later...............

Dear Mr Andrews,
we apologize for no response from us.
We have everything we need for your export, the shipment takes place this week.
Please wait a few more days.
Best Regards
Waffen Bock


When I asked WHY the delay the reply was "German Authorities" In other words they couldn't organize a Pissup in einem Bierkeller

Watch this space :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

I just bought a frog for the bayo too soooooooooooooooooo.

Original delivery quoted was around 20 days - so far it has taken 102 days!!
I now have 100 rounds of ammo, a set of reloading dies, bullets, a bayonet and frog, stripper clip, sling, snapcaps and of course the Import Licence..

:loco:

I really thought it would be here by now. I have been making all these jokes and now I might start feeling bad.

Your rifle will arrive any minute!
