Good news on ITAR

As many of you may have heard, import of rifles and handguns their parts and the ammunition went through the USA state department, but was to be switched to the much easier commerce department. Also, they 'changed the rules' back in late summer resulting in massive import delays. The changeover was scheduled for March 9 but several democratic states challenged the switch over. They was a court hearing this past Monday and the judge ruled today that the switch over is to proceed. So, as of this Monday morning coming, things will be much quicker and easier for rifle and handgun imports. Great news!!!!

what about parts?

Awesome, was just contemplating an order and wondered where things stood.

Yes, parts and ammunition for rifles and handguns all go to commerce.

Excellent news. More access to anything firearm related is welcome news.

Reloading components? ooh ooh ooh... Importing specific things for the ballistic lab is a pain in the ass.

You can order from wherever you see fit as long as they do the commerce department export permit and you provide them with an IIC.
