better go thru a dealer in NZ, the US has export controls on weapons of that type. This link applies to Canada, but similar process probably for NZ www.dfait-maeci.gc.ca/eicb/military/faq-en.asp#1 |
During the break-up of Yugoslavia, there were some shady exports of .50cal rifles to the region. The rifles went through Switzerland first and then were supposed to go to private hunting lodges in Africa to hunt elephants. But they were side-tracked to the former Yugoslavia and Albania. There was a whole episode on a show here called '60 Minutes'. I realized afterwards that you may not get the reference.
