Can't import LE receivers into the US???

**AMCer** · 10-29-2014 03:37 PM

I posted a "WTB LE RECEIVER" message in WTB and a nice person responded that Marstar Ca was selling NEW receivers!

I called Marstar and they said I needed a ATF No6 (import) form.

I called ATF and the woman told me that (she thinks) I can't import an C&R receiver into the US!?!?!

Is there a solution to this predicament???

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

These would be 1955 Long Branch production? There was a whack of them around at one time. Lovely receivers, but for that blasted MkI* mod.

It would be interesting to know why SAL/Long Branch didn't embrace the Mk.2 body, or at least the Mk.2/1 conversion. Perhaps it was felt the rifles would not be in service long enough to justify the change over(?)
