There were only 13 imported into the USAicon back in the late 1980's or early 1990's I think. They came in through Gunsite in Arizona and how they managed to get them approved is beyond me. The same holds true for the 10 Australianicon SR98, (AW), rifles that were imported to AI's pre bankruptcy HQ in Oak Ridge, Tennessee in the late 1990's. There are only 12 L96 rifles here now as I exported one back to Englandicon! They are not legal to import being military issue and since they aren't 50 years old, not even eligible for addition to the C&R list. I know there are a few that have come to the USA through military channels but getting one here by normal commercial channels would be quite a feat.
