(T) Micrometer Question...

[amadeus76]

Not needed, I think I have a #4 micrometer here I can send...now, do we go to jail for me sending it across the US/Canada border? Brian Dick would know...offhand.

Thank you and I would assume that you’d be legally safe as I’ve bought rear sights and other items sent for the U.K. in the past. However, I have a couple No4 micrometer sights already, I just don’t want to grind them down if I don’t have to in case I need them for future rifles. That’s why a pre-milled No5 Sight makes more sense in light of it never being used for shooting... And even if it is in the future, like with all my No4 rifles, I’ll zero at 200 and then learn my actual click adjustments for farther out and not rely on the marks designed for a Mk VII round I’m not using.

I try to find Mk.1 sights with crushed battle apertures for modification to No.4T spec. when possible.

Regarding imports to the USA: It's perfectly legal to import up to $100 USD wholesale value without a Form 6 import permit. Any value exceeding the $100 limit requires an approved ATF Form 6 import permit. This applies to all firearm components including woodwork. Spare barrels, bolts and breech blocks for surplus military arms are banned from importation altogether.

Regarding exports from the USA: Component parts other than those I just mentioned with a wholesale value of $100 or less are exempt from DDTC export licensing but still require lodging via the automated export system, (AES), and receipt of an international transaction number, (ITN), with US CBP by an ITAR registered exporter in order to stay within the parameters of the law.

In regards to Brian Dicks post, how sad it is that collectors and enthusiasts of WW weapons systems have been reduced to the ranks of criminals in the eyes of the powers that be just because of the undesirables in this world, it is nigh on impossible to stop them obtaining their instruments for foul deeds.
Yes they have made weapons harder to obtain but that's only good for the black market prices going rate for a wheel gun is @$5-6K according to Channel 9 news here in West Au.
But hey all they have to do is to go to a place (deleted) and there are rows and rows of them for sale there as the London Bridge episodes have shown us, also there is always the tide against us in trying to take our collections or weapons off of us.

Don't be fooled. They don't give a shite about stopping crime. The progressives in ALL of our governments want to stop commerce in firearms and components completely other than for LE and military use. There is a plan here in the USA to move much of what we deal in from the ITAR to EAR which is controlled by US Department of Commerce. The licensing requirements are just as stringent but it's being made out as a huge relaxation of restrictions which is an outright lie. One Demoncrat senator named Bob Menendez in New Jersey is holding the transition up again. He did it last February and has done it again in November. I've been dealing with all of these entities for 22 years and DoC, (who control the EAR), is an excellent branch of our government who work hard to make it more efficient for us to do business with our cross border friends. Unfortunately, DoS, (ITAR), charge a huge yearly fee and do their best to throw wrenches into the machine every chance they get. It's pure, deep state politics and arrogance. A real shame. Fingers crossed that we will eventually get the transition in place.
