Mario,

CDS does indeed have lots of parts we would be interested in. You're lucky to live in the EU because they don't export to the U.S.!

I have been acquiring mostly Erma and some Luger parts from them for a few years, but I had to establish a proxy who lives in Oberndorf. I send him a list and he buys them, obtains an export permit, and sends them to me.

Considering three shipping charges, international check-cashing fee, a proportion of the permit, and something sent to my friend to make it worth his while, my customers wind up paying just about double full retail for any part. In most cases it seems worth the expense and trouble, because otherwise their guns would be paperweights.

CDS was my last chance to obtain certain parts, as stock of U.S. sellers is depleted, but even they are running out of some components, which are now not available NOS anywhere on earth. As G.T. would say, they're made of "unobtainium"!

Miguel,

You will not be happy with their answer, as above. They are also weird to deal with, kind of snotty, condescending, and dismissive. Not particularly friendly.
