Anybody here ever heard the term 'rip-off Britain'?

[Swagman]

Well, at least you can buy percussion caps! here in New South Wales it is now impossible to buy any type of percussion cap. I recently emailed the main Australian importer of CCI and Remington caps in desperation, they have had caps on back order for two years now. It is now so grim that going forward only flintlocks will be able to shoot. Who would have thought that in 2024 it is easier to buy a gun flint than a percussion cap!

I guess it’s just the Ukraine war using up everything , I gather all shells have BP as a primer charge , So only Swiss is available Just make your own caps see utube . Or see if you can get 209 shotgun primers and conversion nipples or make your own , 11 caps came in to uk last week Henry Krank

Swagman, when caps were really short supplied in Europe I bought a kit for making your own percussion caps using a solvent and crushed match heads. The kit comes with a metal template for making the body of the caps, the solution itself and an optional 25 reusable brass cap bodies. I have never used this, because within a week of buying it caps here became plentiful again. If you are interested PM me for details.

Does the hazmat fee just apply to one box of primers, or can you order say a dozen tins with the 30 quid hazmat fee covering it all?

The amount in the HAZMAT shipment is immaterial - one pack or or ten thousand.

Making an explosive device in Australia is about the same as here in UK. Nope.

Whilst in Perth WAu I found some things difficult so bought from eBay uk. Typical was a roof rack for a Subaru. It cost £32 postage Yodel or something and took 7 weeks to arrive .

I looked at and bought some

I looked at iand bought some toy percussion caps about £4/100 dead cheap and quite powerful , no restriction normal post 2-3 days , they have potential and a slightly smaller nipple, perhaps you can get them on eBay au
