VLTR side mount bipod

[jasonn]

Does anyone know where i can pick up one of these?
How about ranger floor plates?

 

[Satain]

Are you talking about these?

I got two of them. 1 set on my ar right now and the other is waiting for the colt 22LR to be released to us. They go for around $160 USD plus shipping. Unfortunately I haven't seen any up here being sold from retailers. I guess you need a friend down south to show you some love!

 

[Satain]

As for ranger plates. There are many models. Is there a certain type you were looking for???

or these ones?

Don't froget they come in many different colors!

 

[jasonn]

Thanks.
If i know someone going south is there any problems with bringing them back with them?

If the americans find them and they are deemed to be "firearm parts", it could potentially result in US Federal Prison time.

Not totally sure if these items count as such, but I'm kinda sure they would be considered parts.

No individual is allowed to export firearms or components thereof from the US. ONLY a company that has a valid US export licence can send said items outside the US.

That said, people still make their own decisions.

Edit: If you can't find what you want in Canada, try www.brownells.com ;they're an export licenced US company and will ship to Canada if possible.

 

[jasonn]

Do you know who i could order these from that ships up here?

Check Wolverine, they can get ranger plates for regular mags (not PMag). Brownells will ship both types north; my shipment is on it's way.

You can get anything under $100US, as long as the manufacturer is approved for export by the U.S. government. If your going to tell people what they can do or not do, please get it right

[jasonn]

so is there any way to get the bipod?

 

[Satain]

I got one that's used if you want one?

That's not correct. The $100US "exemption" is seriously misunderstood.

 

[simpleton]

No actually, it is that simple

Is it black?

 

[Satain]

yep

KevinB, CanAm, and other dealers have been over this before. But Mark from Questar has discussed this at length so many times that I am surprised he doesn't seem to have a .txt file on his desktop to copy and paste his responses to this issue...

(...)
Under US law all companies that make any ITAR parts, components or firearms must register with US State Department (as Manufacturers) and pay their annual registration fee. This is separate from and in addition to registration requirements for "Exporters"... which is a different fee and registration. (...)

(...)
There are several "parts" to the "$100 Exemption" that a lot of people often don't take note of... or are unaware of: That the exemption only applies to Registered Exporters; that it also only applies to items for which the exporter knows that an export permit would be approved (therefore it can't be used for an item that US State Department has in past refused to approve or is known to be currently refusing to approve for export); and lastly that the end-user and country of destination has previously been approved or would be approved by US State Department if an export permit was applied for.

The "intent" of the $100 exemption was to allow registered exporters the ability to send one of their customers a small "follow-up" order of non-significant parts or accessories without having to go through the time and expense of processing a complete DSP-5 Export Permit each and every time. So if we have previously process an export permit to ship 50 AR rifles to a customer in Canada and subsequently that customer needs some small parts for those rifles and the value of those parts is less than $100 US Wholesale, then the exemption #22 CFR 123.17(a) allows us to export "Components and parts for Category I(a) firearms not exceeding $100 wholesale" without the normal requirement to first obtain a DSP-5 Export Permit.

This is being used by many US Exporters in exports of small parts, etc. to customers for whom they have not previously obtained export permits, but the onus would be on the exporter (if asked) to prove that the items qualify and that the end-user qualifies. (...)

(...)
Most people do not understand the "$100 Exemption" rule at all. It is NOT a blanket exemption and it is not available to everyone and anyone.

First, it only applies to registered exporters who are currently registered with DDTC and who are eligible to apply for and received DSP-5 Export Licenses. It is solely an exemption that allows those exporters, in some situations, a waiver from being required to apply for and get a DSP-5 Export License. It is NOT an exemption from the requirement to be a registered exporter, and it does not allow the registered exporter to export to someone who would not qualify for the export license if it was applied for.... and it does not allow items to be exported that would not otherwise be approved if the application was made.

(...)go to the US State Department - DDTC website and check the ITAR regulations as posted by DDTC. (...)

The whole "manufacturer is not registered with USDoS" thing is getting thrown around pretty wildly, and is often not accurate.

For example, you can go order almost any of the Magpul items that Brownells stocks without any difficulty. ranger plates, rail covers, whatever will be sent without issue(generally).

Order a UBR from them, and you will recieve an auto response in email about how it will need a permit and how you can go apply for an IIC. If you send them a reply asking how much the fees are, if the item will or will not be approved for export, etc, you will get another generic, template based email stating (We are very sorry, but unfortunately) Magpul is not registered with USDoS as a manufacturer blah blah blah thus we cannot sell this item to you etc.

This of course is not true, because otherwise Wolverine, Questar, etc would not be able to recieve their orders of the Magpul items they do have. Not to mention, Brownells will still ship nearly everything else they have from that manufacturer. Its just an auto response someone sends that isn't necessarily accurate.

That said, Brownells is a valid licenced exporter. If you order something, I believe you can claim a reasonable expectation that they know what they're doing(sort of). They'll send it if they think they can; if they can't send it, they'll let you know.

Socom Supply is the only dealer I've ever seen have those bipods, and that was awhile ago.

Try Wolverine, Questar, P&D, One Shot Tactical, Dave's, and all the other dealers at the top of the page. If none of them has what you want try Brownells. If they don't have it, you're probably s**t out of luck. In that case, keep your eyes on the EE and wait.

Edit:

yep

Or Satain can save the day! lol

Maybe you should actually read what I wrote. Manufactorers must be registered and licensed. If they are, then any item from them under $100U.S in value is not subject to an export permit.....anything over $100 is, and hence, depending on the item, that permit may be denied by the state department. It really is not that complicated. And yes the exporter must also be registered, and there are several that are. I'd know, as I average 4-5 packages of firearms parts and components a month.

My original post was a response to this:

Your comment on my post was:

I had taken this to mean something along the lines of "anyone in the US can mail/transport a firearm-related item across the border as long as the manufacturer is approved for export by the U.S. government and it's under $100US".

I apologize if I have misunderstood your statements.

 

[simpleton]

No problem
