[Buster95]

I'm from Canada and I have 2 SVT-40 bolt covers, 2 lower piston coves and 2 upper piston covers, I would like to know if it's legal to sell them in USA?

There's a couple of dealers here that do that sort of thing regularly and they'll be along. Give them a minute...

Parts shipments except barrels, bolts and breech blocks under $100 total value don't require import licensing to the USA. If the value is over $100, they DO require an ATF Form 6 import permit. To make things worse, there's an embargo on Russian made parts and firearms so a Form 6 wouldn't be approved anyhow in your case.

[Vincent]

The embargo on Russian parts,, is that in Executive Order 13661 or somewhere else?

I read the under $100 value does not apply to full-auto firearm parts, even if they are to be used in a semi-auto variant.

I wouldn't want to be involved in shipping FA parts either way across the border. I think that might go very badly...

[Vincent]

It takes a long time and it's expensive. Your really need to use a customs broker. That's the expensive part.

Filing the Form 6 application is quite simple. It can be done online using the ATF's e-form site. Then you wait for approval. IIRC, the parts can be shipped 60 days after the Form 6 is approved.

One way of course...nothing can come this way or you get a visit from the Donkey Wallopers...

"Donkey Wallopers" Never heard them called that.

I'm not sure of the executive order number. It's a fact because I got a DSP-5 RWA'd last Fall that had a MN 91/30 sniper rifle on it. I had to remove it and submit it again.

The $100, ($500 to Canada), exemption is for Category 1(a) firearms only. Non-automatic and semi-automatic firearms to caliber .50 inclusive (12.7mm).

The Form 6 import permit requires attachments from the seller and can be shipped at any point once it's approved. I've never heard of the 60 day thing.

I don't see what else it could be. The model 91/30 rifle is listed in the exceptions of 27 CFR Part 47.
