Anyone seen one yet?  I had my hands on a centerfire today (.223/12G), but so far my dealer can't get the rimfire version.

I purchased one in 22mag/410.  Unfortunately I relocated to the Himalayas before it arrived.  Same story for an EAA IZH 94, and 94 SEVER in 22mag / 20 guage.  I guess my brother will get to enjoy them all for a few years before I return home.  I should get him to email me a report.

Did it arrive?  My shop still can't get me one (as of a couple weeks ago).

Thanks

The guns, including the Spartan 22mag/ 410 are still hung up at customs.  My importer did receive them in late January, however, they are still at the border.  My importer is contacting his senator about the situation, because it was a rather large shipment to a number of different parties.  It was registered as a firearm in Canada in February though, and really does exist.

It will be at least two years before I see them though, and I am quite interested in seeing if there is anything more than a stamp difference between my EAA IZH 94s, my Spartan rimfire combo, and the Baikal o/u I purchased in Canada before I left.  Once my brother does receive them, I will be sure to update this post about condition, fit and finish etc.

I really appreciate that.  Unless they are garbage I will buy one when they are available.  I wonder what the customs hold is all about?  Sounds like government stupidity.
