Snail Drum Question

[CAP Black]

Item # 1. I understand the picture and the currency amount but I don't understand the words. David, are you saying you could import the item?

Item # 2. I am getting too much resistance in cranking the handle around to that position. I am not a weakling but it just gets to taunt to go around until it will catch in the slot. Am I already wound too tightly?
thanks
Jack

Jack,

Last spring/summer I bought some Erma parts from a seller in Germany. Since the seller does not export to the USA, I enlisted the assistance of the forum, and Gerben rose to the occasion by giving me contact info for Gerd Schoen, a retired Mauser exec., who purchased the parts and sent them to me. (This reminds me, I am remiss, and must correspond with Gerd.) Anyway, sending gun parts from Germany requires an export permit, the cost of which is determined by the value of what is sent. The permit Gerd obtained has some remaining power to allow another several hundred dollars' worth of stuff to be sent. It will expire at some point, I think a few months from now, and I'd have to contaact the most gracious Herr Schoen about it; but if someone in the states bought a loader in Germany, I think it could be sent. Details about how to do it would have to be worked out. Etc., etc...
