The application form has to be filled in and submitted for approval. Not a quick process, but AFAIK the only legal way to go.

What I have in mind is not surplus, so I guess that doesn't matter, but I did not think a C&R would allow me to import. Original post I think I must be misunderstanding something. |

I think it would still have to be a C&R firearm. 50 years old or listed in the book.

But as long as it is C&R no one here disagrees I am able to import?
I will still check with ATFE, but I don't want to seem like an idiot when I call. |

INHO, that statement should be read as "The holder of an importer license imports firearms in the normal course of business and knows all the rules about doing that. FFL holders who are not importers may occasionally import sporting type firearms, but not surplus military arms. C&R licensees can only import C&R items, since that is the only type of firearms their licenses are valid for."
If the firearm is milsurp, I suggest contacting BATFE. I see no reason the type of gun should be different between an importer and a dealer or collector who imports occasionally. I wonder if that exception is obsolete. Jim |
