Aussie S&W Trade-Ins?

[GuidoTorpedo]

I stumbled upon this article.

Any idea when these are supposed to hit the street? I'd like a carried lots shot little M66 in 2.5" (or even the rare 3"). Aussie Territory marking would be an added bonus!

Thanks!

the "article" was lol worthy, but it'll be pretty sweet when they hit the shelves.

I'll be watching too.

I'm watching myself, would love to pick one up at a reasonable price.

I've heard the cylinders on the "Australian" revolvers rotate in the opposite direction of the guns from the states.

I heard, when fired, they always hit "down under".

When the first posting of that story was on THR i contacted all the popular importers. None of them were aware of it. Century asked that i send them the link to the story and were going to investigate it.
I would be REALLY interested IF they ever show up here.

It will be interesting. There is, still, a bit of a gun culture in Australia, so there is some chance the guns are well cared for and properly maintained--thinking here of some of the really nice Lithgow Arsenal surplus stuff kicking around.

You can always check with the Australian S&W distributor to find out if they are being exported to the USA:

Be aware that the Australian media is just as happy to make up a story as the US media so there may be no truth to the story of them being re-exported.

I think they did yesterday. Bud's guns had 3 inch Mod 10's for $269 & free shipping.
The news was all over the S&W forum and the 3 inch K frames sold out before the end of the day.

Yep. The Bud's gun are from Australia. I got one, but I'm kind of wishing I held off. Loss of blueing is OK, but I hope mine doesn't have rust or pitting. I might cancel the order. They haven't gotten my FFL info yet.

This is the first shipment for sale that I've heard about. Now lets hope that the M-66's come up for sale soon.
