Ammo we know of already. In fact they quit importing current disposal stuff back in 2000'ish........well before 2006 when this was implemented.

What we are(were) talking about was firearm parts. See the last part of what you are showing us.

This prohibition shall not extend to similar firearms that

have been so substantially transformed as to become, in effect,

articles of foreign manufacture.

Any arm that spends over 5 years in the holdings of a foreign military in fact becomes a weapon indigenous to that country. This is the transformation of the U.S. part into foreign. In addition, nine out of ten they usually stamp their own crest or markings on them and that furthers them as foreign weapons but in all it isn't required as long as evidence of legitimate military holding is established.

So in fact what you have done here is provide evidence of yourself being wrong by posting this.

Either way it was good of you to do so. Everyone needs to know this information anyway.

cmp can still get it, the government brings it in then gives it to them

Here's another good chunk for everyone to take note of. Specifically section (ii) which refers to exactly what I was just talking about.

(B) (!1) The prohibition under such regulations required by the

second sentence of subparagraph (A) shall not extend to any

military firearms (or ammunition, components, parts, accessories,

and attachments for such firearms) of United States manufacture

furnished to any foreign government by the United States under this

chapter or any other foreign assistance or sales program of the

United States if -

(i) such firearms are among those firearms that the Secretary

of the Treasury is, or was at any time, required to authorize the

importation of by reason of the provisions of section 925(e) of

title 18 (including the requirement for the listing of such

firearms as curios or relics under section 921(a)(13) of that

title); and

(ii) such foreign government certifies to the United States

Government that such firearms are owned by such foreign

government.

Anyone who is a licensed RI can get it really.

You see, 100% foreign stuff by far is the easiest to pull in because you don't have to worry with this mess with the U.S. State Department. Whatever it is has to be "REALLY" worth the wait cause having to mess with them can ensure that you will have your shipment tied up for a year or two while they push it to the side and then eventually tool over it a little and send it back to you. All that time storage fees are piling up and you've probably had three or 4 F-6's expire on you.

Bunch of mess.....

 

[EZFEED]

Wait....if you were talking about the ammo then why would CMP even bother with it?

The Greek, Israeli, Portuguese, etc is just as good and doesn't require any other permits and last time I checked they were selling the Greek stuff.

And another thing. The Government doesn't "bring it in" for CMP. CMP RI's bring it in and re-sell it to us just like any other firearm importer does.

EZFEED is on the ball - the exemption he spoke of is also in 27 CFR part 447.somethingorother. U.S. goodies can be brought back in the correct circumstances. My knowledge of this is purely academic - never done it, but that's what "the book" says.

 

[EZFEED]

Hmm......this certainley was shortlived

 

[brassmagnet]

OK, so in laymans terms, can you tell me what you just said

I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but basically, "implements of war" manufactured in the U.S. can only be brought back into the U.S. with authorization from the State Department. From reading 27 CFR part 447, I believe if the firearms, ammo, whatever are (foreign) government owned they are eligible for import - so if the U.S. sent ____ firearms to England during the big one and a private company or individual now owned them, no go, but if the Brit government was the owner, then yes..... could be out to lunch on this. Too many brain cells tied up w/basic life support.

can you tell me how this can make me some cheaper ammo?

Eggzactly!

Lend lease stuff, direct sales, etc. It's fair game if Big Brother doesn't say he still has claim to it.
