Good evening,
Im looking at a couple of Rook rifles to add to the gun cabinet. The calibers are .300 Rook and .360 No 5 Rook. Finding brass for these guns is proving a little challenging. Does anyone know where in the UK I can source some?
I know Bertram in Australia probably does some, but they wont send to the UK.
Fingers crossed
Thanks
Robertson Brass will make them ($$$$), and I think that Buffalo Arms carried them at one time.Quote:

Hi Sirius-
I've owned both of these calibers in the past. I used .38 Long Colt brass in the .360 Rook and Bertram in the .300. I don't know if .32 Long Colt is available in the UK, but this worked OK and not great. I know the .360 uses a heeled bullet but I can't remember is that's the case with the .300 Rook. Good luck!
Question betwixt you British folks - is it as difficult to ship and order between UK nations as it is from say the US to a commonwealth country?Quote:

Easy enough for non-prohibited goods e.g. brass, projectiles. But not for powders or primers as they require special postage, essentially an FFL to FFL transfer if I was to use US terminology, but the cost is high (like your hazmat shipping) so makes it untenable!Quote:

I know it isn't correct but it sure shoots well!
The 300 Rook is it's own case so nothing to do but purchase the correct brass for that one.
