Does anyone know if a collapsible stock as a part just the $50 thing is on the state list or the commerce list? (state being non available commerce as a gun part in in the $100 limit)

I'm gonna order a $20 part (an ACE PIGNOSE adaptor) from someone and can't see spending $20 for the shipping if I can order a cheap 4 position stock for $49 or $59 and get the shipping for about $8...

I could always order other stuff but the stock I can use...

Brownells has them only on the GUN PARTS list so they are covered in the $100 limit...

This is taken from the April 2007 State Dept guidelines(§126.1 pertains to countries such as Iraq, Afaghanistan, Lybia, etc- naughty countries)
§ 123.17 Exports of firearms and ammunition.
(a) Except as provided in §126.1 of this subchapter, Port Directors of U.S. Customs and Border Protection shall permit the export without a license of components and parts for Category I(a) firearms, except barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or complete breech mechanisms when the total value does not exceed $100 wholesale in any transaction.

So I got state and commerce backwards AGAIN! It's commerce that has been putting restrictions on scopes and stuff saying they are military technology and also putting the kibosh on other things... I still wonder if the collapsible stock is gonna cause a problem
 
Somebody said that the AR stocks designed for the non-milspec buffer tubes, i.e., civilan only collapsible stocks were okay to export, it was only the true mil-spec stocks/buffer tubes that caused problems. I dunno, I haven't really investigated the topic lately, so take the above with a grain of salt! :)

Licenses don't get into the dimension of a receiver extension, just type, ie, AR-15.

Licenses DO get into collapsible vs non though.
 
I don't believe that export permits are required for the stock itself, unless it has been designated as military (i.e. Magpul CTR). The buffer tube itself does require an export permit from the State Dept. since it is an essential part for a military style weapon.

This is just what I recall from recent memory. Of course things change all of the time so I would double check with the State Dept. and the Dept. of Commerce just to certain, before ordering any parts.
 
ANything designated as military could just be anything with an NSN assigned? Or is it in the marketing pubs?
