Form 6 these days?

Are people still submitting competition invitations? My understanding was that this is no longer a requirement?

I put Reloads (My name) caliber, quantity. A couple of years ago I had a form 6 rejected because I forgot to put my name behind "Reloads". Montana State Border Patrol still likes to see a Invitation or Hunting License. They follow both state and federal requirements.

Thank you - form submitted... holding my breath the border opens for some USPSA matches next month.
 
You don't require an invitation to apply for the form 6 but will have to provide a reason when crossing into usa. I always have a match invite with my required paperwork.
 
One time I was in Ontario, I had a short term ATT that was only good to go from my hotel to the border because I had a match 2 weeks after the Canadian Nationals. The US border agent refused to allow me to enter with my guns because the match date on my invitation was “too far away” from the current date.

You are at the mercy of whatever person is manning the booth when you cross, regardless of whether they are right or wrong.
 
Emailed in my Form6NIA to BATF (with My Florida Open Invite) on Nov. 5 - got it back today - Nov 22.
My last two submissions took less than a week to come back; but this is still pretty good.
 
I submitted my Form 6, 2 weeks ago, had it returned today. My Kodiak WK-180 was declined
Anyone else had a wk-189 declined? Any reason.

That confirms it, a few weeks back my friend got his back with the FX-9 declined. He put the effort in and talked to the ATF and he was told that the Canadian government requested that the U.S. Not allow "this type" of firearm to move across the border. I'm not a tinfoil hat person but I think we know where this is headed.

Was any communication in writing? What do you get when the form is declined?

A standard condition of any Form 6NIA is that the importation is necessarily temporary, and that all of the approved items are re-exported at the same time as the non-immigrant alien exits.

Obviously, an item that cannot be legally imported to Canada cannot be legally re-exported (to Canada), so they're not likely to issue a temporary import permit.
 
Happily the Kodiac WK-180 is a non-restricted rifle made in Canada. I understand that it is currently being displayed at shot show. Should be able to re-import to Canada as it was made here. I wanted to take it to matches in the states, since the Ar is now Prohib.

So you're assuming all firearms denied temporary re-export will added to the banned list?

Has anyone had a Ruger PC Carbine denied?
