We can blame Jerry Harvey for this!
The net result is that from July 1st , a lot of hobbyists will not be able to obtain certain supplies/ goods - once only available from the overseas source- whether or not the buyer would be willing to pay GST on them, or not.
The vendors are now deciding, its now all in the too hard basket and we hobbyists are left with no access at all, to those special items we need to make life easier in our respective pursuits.
It is the same for me as some items in the black powder area of my hobby don't sell enough to warrant keeping them for sale locally and now understandably, the overseas seller does not wish to collect tax for a for a non US government.
Any further non-gunsmithing comments will need to be placed in the off-topic forum section.

Harvey is bloody sook...if their retail prices wer'nt so darn dear we wouldnt have to look to overseas suppliers.
I will still buy from OS when its cheaper...its not just the 10% that puts us off from buying from Aus Suppliers....its the 20, 30 and 40% savings we get
