Picking up stripped M16 lowers and uppers outside of the USA/EU that would ship to NZ

[ssj]

Probably a big ask but I'd like to build a M16 (non-select fire) for service rifle so I need a lower and a upper. Site in Germany has a lower for 149EU but he wont ship outside of the EU. So that made me think what the heck I'll ask in here in case other bits of the world are not so picky.

I think I have seen Brian @ BDL in some M16 threads and am sure he is knowledgeable about the export question. See the BDL add above.

Hi, these would attract a $250US state department fee on top of the 2 units cost, even if I could get them shipped from the USA, (and since the lower is classed as a machine gun part in the USA I suspect not) hence i wondered about elsewhere.

You can buy a 80% finished AR-15 lower for under $100US, some will even include a template to show locations of holes to be drilled and milling is required on the rear end. Magazine area is complete as is the buffer threads.
Not considered to be a firearm, hence no serial number. Do not have any idea about oversea shipment but it is not considered a firearm

I can ship them but they do require export licensing which will require import licensing and a purchase request from New Zealand. Email me in the shop at bdlltd@bellsouth.net for details.

Semi-auto receivers are NOT regarded as an MG part here in the USA by DDTC, U.S. Department of State. They were restricted from export up until a couple of years ago but there's no problem now as long as the paperwork hoops are adhered to.

not being hugely up on M16s but all M16A1s are/were select fire though?

[ssj]

RCS the idea was to have the correctly stamped /original lower not a lower to finish.

[Brian Dick]

Yes, M16 and M16A1 rifles were all select fire. Those are not exportable unless going to a police or military organization. The semi-auto look-alikes have a variety of model designations depending on the manufacturer but won't be marked M16/M16A1.
