Hi Flex , yes ..
our powder , bullets , brass , and primers are made in Brasil , the equipment like presses and gun acessories , is bought by a air company Board Commissar friend of mine ,so all the load data that we found on the web is usseless for us , but guns , presses and acessories are very dificult , not for me , but in general cases is very dificult , and this friend cannot bring me over the air , powder , primers and etcc ,and the material he could bring is very expensive , at least 30% expensive then he paid for , but we do not have choice , we need it .
The Guns , but , is dificult to import a gun , as buy a Made in Brasil one , here we have STI , SVI ... all of them but very expensive . We paid for a STI out of the box US$3000,00 , the made in Brasil Gun is the IMBEL , IMBEL is a Government Military Industry and her manager is the Brazilian Army Forces , this Industrie is that one that makes Springfield Pistols (the IMBEL is an exact clone of Springfield), and after this Springfield import to US , just to make it clear , here we buy a IMBEL .40 or .45 High Cap for US$ 250,00 , and after a good gunsmith job it becames a real Race gun , all of you would like the IMBEL , i´m sure .
To resume , when you meet a Brazilian shooter you can think `This guy realy loves the Shooting sport ` , and do not forget I do not talk about the documents to be a shooter.
The violence that you saw at TV here in Brazil is the same that we saw at TV , and we know that its a government and press campaign to put an end point in guns . But ... is very difficult to buy a gun at a shop , and the govern. makes it more difficult each year , but if your are an outlaw , the black market is full of models , and no one makes nothing , simply nothing , Aks , Ars , Minis , MachineGuns , grenades , we are always beeing missunderstood about our sport , the true is very different about what we all see at Brasilian TV . Its sucks . But here we are ... trying to make some alfas ...
