A couple of weeks ago I picked up a Model 340 in .223. As I intend to hunt with it I went looking for a spare magazine (I have at least one spare for all my guns).
Brownells USA list a repro one for just $38 odd US - great! But they will not deal directly, only through Brownells Australia, who dont list the .223 magazine, and have failed to answer my emails for a fortnight..... There is one rusty one listed for sale on the net in Australia for $130 plus postage :o A big local Gunshow turned up none.
Today I lucked out, walked into my local LGS and after buying a few things asked if they had one. The answer was maybe and a large cardboard box of odd magazines placed on the counter. After looking through them I found 3 NOS ones! Bought one for $50 AU. And marked the others so they can be found again easily.
So if anyones in Australia after a .223 magazine for a 340 shoot me a pm and I'll give you the shops name.
