I still know of an M1 Thompson and two or three PPsH that made it back from Yugoslavia/former Yugoslavia between '98 and '06...so it still is chanced.

I know of a Makarov that made it back to Canada from the recent escapades in Afghanistan, however the owner later got spooked and had it crudely deactivated. I got to look it over after dewatting, the individual that brought it back was of the sort that "reasonably ought to have known better" anyway, but it was a legitimate Soviet built pistol and (formerly) in pretty good shape too.

I have to settle for the Canada compliant 106mm barrel version, but at least it's legal and I can shoot it occasionally without fear of legal consequences.

If you know the people in the right departments you can get nearly anything shipped back, even today. I wouldn't take the chance but I know of people who are quite willing to ship 'souvenirs' back home.
