| Description: About Us - History of Rebel Gunworks History of Rebel Gunworks In 1996 on the 10th May John Howard forced the States and Territories to accept his new gun laws (Which by the way were Paul Keating’s 1988 Gun Laws). At the time we had just purchased the stock of M.E. Humfress and Co, a well respected Gun Shop in Brisbane City. Because of limited parking and high rent in Brisbane City we relocated the stock to our present location, I Atherton Street Woolloongabba and commenced to trade as Caliber Warehouse. In the uncertain times of 1996 and 1997 we didn’t know if the Gun Trade would sink or swim, because of this uncertainty and harshness of the new Firearms legislation, my business partner at the time decided in 1997 to seek compensation and exit the trade. We decided to start again but only on a much smaller scale to cater for a smaller shooting fraternity. We believed however at the time and still believe that after all the closures, buy outs and buy backs that their would always be a demand for specialized Gun Shops hence in February of 1998 we opened “Rebel Gun Works” and have enjoyed continuous patronage and growth each year |
