    SVT 40 Parts Kits For Export To America?

    Hello. I have come on behalf of all the Americans desperate for an SVT 40. Most of us can't afford one due to the 12-1500 price tag. What I want to know is if someone like Marstar would be willing to cut up some SVTs to ATF spec, and then ship them to 'Merica. From what I've seen, there don't seem to be any rules keeping parts kits out of the US, I am doing my homework just to be sure. I can assure you that you would get a flood of orders, if we could get an SVT with a cut receiver for 3-400. Are there any rules keeping "parts kits" from being shipped out of Canada? Also, how does Canada define a gun? Is the receiver considered the actual gun like it is here???

    Thanks, Noah

    Yes. Getting guns in and out of Canada isn't that hard; it's getting them in and out of the US that's a pain. The ATF and State Department are a pain in the ass to deal with.

    I don't think you can import the barrel as well as the receiver as of recently (2 years ago ?)

    Cheers

    The thought of SVT's being chopped up is just sad

    So how many Chinese or Russian guns have you exported to the USA lately
    lol
    Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.
