Frogman 45

[Aubrey]

Life can be cruel ...... my 45 ordered from Cylinder and Slide, called the Frogman 45, has arrived at MD Labs ..... problem is I sit in Africa. Another 12 months of red tape

But this is what it looks like ...

Is Kevin customizing this one for you or just holding it while waiting to be sent to Africa?

They say patience is a virtue and it seems you will need a lot of it while awaiting such a sweet piece.

Shypping is a nightmare .......; It has to be shipped to a FFL so that is MD ...... then I have to secure an BATF approved FFL exported so if anybody has a contcat or so .....mplease drop me details at moorea@mweb.co.za. Once it arrives in South Africa, I have to apply for an import permit ...... that takes 3-4 weeks. Aftre that is granted I have to apply for my firearms license (CCW equivalent in the US) and that can take 3 months...... specs below from Cylinder and Slide.

Yikes, that is a lot of paperwork. In my opinion it would seem more prudent to apply for the firearms license as a first step rather than the last because it would be a shame to wade through all the red tape from the US and your border agents just to get it denied at the very end. Of course maybe it has to be that way.


BTW it looks like a real fine piece.

For your export licenses talk to the nice folks at http://etssincusa.com/
They should be able to help you with that.
They always answered all my questions in a very timely manner and were really helpful.
