Red Rifles are a no-go on a Form 6?

Norinco is not allowed in the US. I had a friend whose Form 6NIA was rejected because of his Norinco 1911 last September when he made his submission to go to Phoenix.
 
No Chinese, no Russian. Probably some others too. This is why SKS's and SVT's go for big dollars down there. And why we've been getting them for so cheap.
 
If your bringing it back out. It shouldn't be a problem. You should just have to declare it at the border when you cross and declare it on the way back. If you don't bring it back then you should be getting in sh&&. But the USA likes it's embargoes. Even if all their tv's hae Chinese parts and you can buy Chinese ATV's there lol
 
There's a list somewhere on net on what's allowed from red rifles. I think MNs are allowed, but not 100% sure. That's about guns made in russia/soviet union. There's also another restriction I think - about the guns that were officially provided by US as military help to any country. And NMs were provided to russia. So I don;t know how those things work together for sure.

So no SKS regardless of where it was made....

Mosin Nagant are ok though?

I think the Albanian and Yugoslavian made ones might be OK. There seems to be more of them down there than up here anyways. Not sure if the Mosin is exempt, I know they've had some at retailers recently down South, but I think if they were easy to import we wouldn't have the ridiculous numbers of them available here either.
 
I think you'll find that due to a Russia/US trade agreement that the US will not allow Russian made firearms in.
That being said certain firearms are allowed due to naming criteria i.e you can import a Saiga. The main focus was military rifles so SKS, AK's, MN 91/30, SVT 40's etc. As most, I think, SVT 40's were Russian made the states cant get any more imported.
What they have for Russian made pre ban is about it. Kind of like Cubin cigars, they have to be flown over or around the US to get to Canada if you pass throught the states with one you're in deep crap.

When it comes to ammo, they concider the steel cored ammo as being armour piercing so we get all the surplus ammo.
 
As I recall, the U.S. and the Russians made an agreement under King Obama or Slick Willy(I forget which or exactly when, but it isn't recently), to not flood the U.S. market with surplus Russian firearms. The ATF and Homeland Security interpret that as not being allowed in, period. It's what happens when civil servants are allowed to make law by regulation.
It'll be on the AFT's FAQ's page. Or you can call or e-mail 'em.
 
They can get them but very few. They have to get them from other countries other than China and the Russian states. They can get around the law because if firearms have been in another country for X amount of years then it is classified as coming or originating from those countries, not China or Russia. Thus some get in but they have to prove by official documentation to the ATF that they have been in those countries for the X amount of years and trying to convince the ATF or whichever bureaucracy that approves them, that is very hard. Thus few make it in and the ones that do are generally from the hot humid countries, thus the rusted, pitted, cracked condition most have been in when they get them.
 
Type 53's and Mosin Nagant 91/30 are plentyful and inexpensive here. $100. t0 $200. Steel core ammo is common too. SKS's are going for $500. to $750 SVT's are unobtainum! AK varients are being made here , some are surplus parts with some US made parts and some are all new made in the USA. Going for $600. to $900. depending in what they are.
 
Clinton banned the import of firearms from China and Russia. By that time though, there already were many, many Mosins already on US soil. Far less SKS' though. Anything Ruskie or Norinco found in the US now is from before that Clinton imposed halt.
