Hello Nitro John,
Speaking to me? I have had one phone conversation with Buffalo Arms to set up the return of the brass with “thin” rims.The results of that conversation were noted in my first post above.

Actually this is the only forum that I choose to post on. The “other” is just too populated by nasty dispositions and know it all types for me to stand it.

I wonder if Mannlicher clips could be “repurposed” (wink, wink) into “spring steel auto body retention devices” and sent down to Oz? No restrictions on export/import of car parts......
