Where I should be.
This was probably answered in some other discussion in CGN but I want to confirm it since laws have a habit of changing.

So my brother in the US, who is a great ebay player, managed to get me a used USGI synthetic stock for $30 :D. Is it okay to ship it up or is there any surprise restriction I need to know about?

I just need to be consoled. All I need is to loose this steal of a deal to some disgruntled border dude:(.
 
If it is made for an M1A. It can be imported. If it is made for an M14 it cannot be imported unless you have a business licence with prohibited parts status. This is how excol explained it to me. M14 parts are also required to have export permits on the american side of things.

Does filling the selector switch convert it into a M1A only stock? I don't know.
 
OK, now I get it. It's the fact that it's "USGI" that make it technically a no-no. MIA being the civilian counterpart makes it fine for export.

So if i get him to fill the selector switch and and paint the stock, it can pass as an M1A.

Gotcha!
 
Lets just say for instance that it was an M1A stock. I wouldn't assume that means you can still export it without a licence. Boyd's couldn't export a stock for a Savage rifle unless its value was below $100, in accordance with (what I assume was) their license.

No, that USGI stock still needs an export permit, as it is still a USGI M14 part.

Your brother can be in a world of trouble if he is caught shipping restricted firearms parts out of the U.S. without the proper permits.

Also there is to be NO discussion of how to circumvent U.S. Export regulations.

SKBY.
 
Just so we're clear, my advice is to not go looking for loopholes because you might be sticking your neck into it. Unless you're 100% certain it's legal, it's not worth it.
 
I guess it's going back to the ebay for bidding:(. Maybe I'll get a small profit from it.

Next time I'll inquire here before doing something impulsive like that. What a shame:mad:.
 
I just went through this with the
US Director of Defence Trade Controls Response Team,
PM-DDTC-Reponse-Team-DL,
Steve Geis

They have told me that no US Person (yes that is what they call them) can export any firearm part to Canada without an Export Permit.

Only a US Person with an export permit can export certain firearm parts (they wouldn't tell me what parts) under $100.00 USD with out a permit????

I've tried to buy parts off AR15.com with no luck.
I almost bought a M14 walnut stock off E-Bay, but thought not!

I have bought AR15 parts off E-Bay & from surplus stores in the US with no problem, but only if they are willing to ship to Canada.

I don't know if US Customs checks packages before they go to Canada Customs? If thye don't, I don't see the problem with US sellers as Canada Customs for the most part could give a S@@t what you import.

& they think we have BS gun laws:confused:
 
without going into details.... let's just say this is road WELL travelled by yours truly. Ton45-II i sent you a p.m. regarding my experiences.
state dept has no sense of humour and cares not for what your loss may be should you mistakenly try to import a controlled item. A 30.00 dollar stock.... ask yourself, is it worth it to risk being barred from u.s. travel? Is your friend prepared to take a risk with charges? MANY u.s. sellers, stores, ebayers, internet site exchanges...... many do not know about thier own countries export laws. I use a liscenced importer from a liscenced exporter for all my parts, bits, stocks when dealing with the u.s..

Hmmm, that seems to be a poor choice of words on their part. What if I'm a "Canada person" in the states, go into a store, buy a stock which I pay cash for, does that mean I'm allowed to bring it back to Canada without an export license because I'm not a "US Person"?
 
You can do that. Its the US that has the problem. Importing into Canada is not a problem. Heck, they didn't even want to see my parts when I brought them in from the states.
 
Tell your brother that buying or selling on E-bay financially supports the people who don't think either of you should be allowed to own any firearm.

No, even if you go across and buy that stock in person, an U.S. Export permit is STILL required for you to legally take that stock out of the U.S. and back into Canada.

ANY USGI M14 parts Require Export Permits regardless of their value..................All other stocks valued at under $100.00 U.S. require no Permits................

SKBY.
 
Wonder what they would say if one was to go across the border to a gun show and purchased a new or used Springfield Armoury M1A fiberglass stock for your Rinco? Springers are usgi stocks with the selector cut out filled in and painted and they are legal! I know this to be fact because I own one and it is identical to my USGI fiberglass stock in all respects except for the cut out. So, how does Springfield get away with selling altered USGI parts?
