M1A Parts gettin harder

[buckaroo]

Looks like the parts are even gettin harder to get now, I had phoned Nurmrich today an was nicely told by the foriegn sales office that the new policy is that no matter how small the piece or how small the order that from now on no parts that are interchangable with the US M14 will no longer be sold outside of the US even if it is a new made commercial part.Just lettin ya'll know..........

So what, we will just need to make parts here at home in Canada.

I got a CNC .

Is that just the numrich policy? Or state dept policy. Brownells will still ship without export docs if individual parts are all valued under $100. I just ordered some stuff this week...no problems.

Was told it was Nurmrich's new policy as they dont want to deal with export permits even if the parts are under the 100 dollar mark.

Please do! I´ll pay for international shipping as long as someone make the parts! There are quite a few M14 owners around the world that would literally love you for it.

It looks like us M1 Garand guys will still be there for the long run.

how difficult is it to export the same parts into the states , from like canada ?

seems like there may be a opportunity to relocated sales and manufacturing outside of the states .

What part(s) seems to be the most in demand?

"...the new policy is..." Nothing new about it. Dates from April 1, 2008.
"...where the value of the parts exceeds $100 or that contain a restricted part...Canada has a $200 parts limit..." Nothing about M1A parts.
"...I got a CNC..." A CNC what? Mill? Lathe?
