    AmEngRifles,

    The real problem is that the MG quasi-ban that's been in place since '86 was designed to combat a condition that no longer exists, but now that the law is on the books good luck getting the Congress to repeal it. Hell, look at the mess Prohibition made of the US and it still took them 13 years to realize their mistake. And at that, the politicians who passed the 18th Amendment over President Wilson's veto didn't have the stones to vote on it themselves; the 21st Amendment was passed by state conventions!

    Sorry for the rant, but the machine gun import ban really vexes me. You wouldn't believe what I'm going through to try to build a SEMI-auto L4! The kicker is there's a company in Southwest England that is sitting on all the parts I need, but wont sell to anyone outside of the UK. WHO IN THE UK CAN BUY THEM???? Oh, and DEACTIVATED guns in the UK can't be imported to the US either...

    Not a problem buying parts from them.......but probably not the parts you need.........and we can't have ! (unless you are section 5 )

    Which company is this? What is their rationale in not selling to US customers even if we have an approved ATF Form 6?
