    Let us know if you find out if the markings are 5.56 NATO or 223 Rem.

    Def. would get one at that price.

    Just sent a message to them, waiting for answer

    I think the mag will have to be left there, if it's marked 5.56 and/or wouldn't be possible to pin it, but it's a small sacrifice, compered to 1k savings :D

    P.S. I droll allover the place when look at what they have and what it costs Kel-Tec P-3AT .380 = 228$
    collect guns from video games, anybody else does it?

    Let's hope for the right answer though not too hopeful; bet is they'd have the cooler military 5.56 NATO instead of civilian 2.23. Recall the XCR barrels had to be scrub down and remarked 223 for Canucks.

    Probably easier to just dump the barrel, will be replacing it with lighter Marstar NR anyway and since the quick exchange parts aren't sold separately the 16" barrel is basically useless.

    +1 on dump the mags, just std AR15 mags, I prefer the LAR 15 for my XCR.

    I looked into importing the RFB but with the fixed barrel wouldn't be easy to replace like the ACR.

    Is it possible to dispose the mag?
    and dispose the barrel (keeping the quick exchange parts)?

    Would that make the import "straight forward"?

    Still talking to the sellers.

    Does importation of folding stock just by it self is still a problem?

    Its really unkown. It MAY get approved or it may not. They can do what they want and it can change depending which officers desk it lands on.

    We recently had a bunch of rifles rejected because they had scopes mounted on them. We had listed the scopes as part of the rifle but the officer returned the application citing that riflescopes are commerce department domain. This of course is true when bringing scopes by themselves but when attached to rifles they go as one item. We had hundreds of applications appoved that way and dozens since but that one officer made life interesting for us and the customers.

    It should, as long as the receiver is not marked 5.56 or 7.62.
    Now having said that, we are having no tyrouble, so far, importing receivers only made by LRB that are marked 7.62.

    I guess the best lesson here is, when bringing AR type stuff, be prepared for rule chages and rejection. Having said that, we have channels where we can help sell items if they got 'stuck' in the USA.

    This is good to know!!!!!


    BTW, if one officer rejects export application, can you then start a new application at a bit later date and see what happens with a different officer?

    Good one, if at first you don't succeed try again. Of course in this case the smart bet would be the firearm id is registered upon application and that the exporter will surely be blacklisted for trying same thing again. Wouldn't it be great if one could try again, say one border custom officer wants to search you so you walk over to another line.
