Importing your prohibited firearm into the US to sell or for storage in AZ

There will be no delays if you (the Customer) provide the ad and pics. If we are asked to put it together for you we will not be able to guarantee any timeline.

Correspondence on the ads will be forwarded to you once a day.


3 pictures is if we were making the ads for Gunbroker. It would be in the customers best interest to do their own ad and provide their own pictures. We will only alot so much time on each firearm, whereas if you the customer was to write the ad and provide pictures I'm sure it would command a much larger return in your pocket then if we wrote the ad for you...

Are you able to list in GB within the first month when you received an item in your AZ location?
Also, will there be no delays in forwarding GB correspondence from interested buyers?

3 pictures aren't enough and more pictures will have more interested buyers put a bid especially on penny auction start.
Are we able to forward more pics that we have and you upload them in the listing?

That is correct. You would be responsible for the shipping to and from your friend in the US.

If I used your service to sell my firearms to a friend in the US - and then had them reimported when (not IF, WHEN!!!) this whole thing blows over - am I correct in thinking that they would require import markings, but no additional fee to re-import as you would be doing it?

That is correct, safe, secure storage with the option to sell if the need arises.

What's the logical sense of storing your firearm across the border? Even temporary? If say in two years this mess will clear up, you spend $600 for storage fees plus export-import back and forth plus shipping will cost you how much? If OIC will stick, then it will be no reason to store it any further and you sell at a big loss. Might so sell it directly to Blair and perhaps be better of. In both scenarios you comply as you get rid of your gun one way or another. But selling it to the american dude you help Blair my making him saving on final bill for this project.

Besides, their "sporting firearm" definition seems opposite to our "assault style", which makes many of our prohibs not eligible for exporting to US.

There is no guarantee of a buy back. That needs to be debated/voted in parliament. With a no date identified. I doubt we will see anything at the end of 2 year mark

That makes it even less sense storing it abroad. If one is really scared of the possibility of confiscation without compensation or safe queen scenario - then yes, export it, but also sell it asap to save on storage. If OIC is rescinded - you always can buy similar one, unless you have some collectible item or some fond feelings are attached to it.

This. The Colt USA ARs I currently have are out of production, U.S Prop markings.
Not sure when Colt is jumping back to commercial sales though. I can transfer to U.S. (but not storage) or sad thing... have them deactivated.

Store in the US and start the process of buying US property.
 
So if it's a recently made African double rifle in a prohibited caliber here it would still have to receive a importers mark? Sounds like a good way to ruin the value on shootable art

Just out of curiosity, would something like a Springfield M1A NM qualify to be sold or transferred to the states?

Here are the criterais for rifles:

B. Criteria for Rifles
As stated above, there are two ATF studies on sporting purposes as that term is applied to rifles; the first published in 1989 and the second in 1998. The 1998 study modified the criteria announced in the 1989 study, and we will focus on the more recent criteria. In the 1998 study, titled “Department of the Treasury Study on the Sporting Suitability of Modified Semiautomatic Assault Rifles,” ATF specified the following criteria for determining whether a semiautomatic rifle is a nonsporting rifle: (1) the rifle is a semiautomatic version of a machine gun; (2) the rifle is chambered to accept a centerfire cartridge case having a length of 2.25 inches or less; and (3) the rifle has one or more of the following military features:
•Ability to accept a detachable magazine with a capacity of more than 10 rounds
•Folding or telescoping stock
•Separate pistol grip
•Ability to accept a bayonet
•Flash suppressor
•Bipod
•Grenade launcher
•Nightsights

I guess if yours doesn't have a bayonet lug or a flash suppressor it's good for export.

The pistol grip alone disqualifies almost everything from the OIC list.
 
There is a current shortage of certain firearms here in the U.S which has increased retail values and demand. If you are contemplating selling your firearm in the U.S now would be the time... Please check www.gunbroker.com which will allow you to obtain current sale prices.
