Quoted: You do know that importation of most gun related stuff valued at >$100 requires a form 6 View Quote The what??? Form 6 is for importing an actual firearm, ammunition, or implements of war. We all know what a firearm is. And, we all know what ammunition is... "Implements of war" are defined as "weapons considered collectively." Nowhere is a "stock" listed. Why would someone need a Form 6 to buy a stock from Ivan?? |

Quoted: Again...Why would one need a Form 6 to buy this stock? An import permit and a Form 6 are 2 entirely different things. View Quote Application and Permit for Importation of Firearms, Ammunition and Defense Articles ATF Form 5330.3A (6 part 1), AKA Form 6 Edit: Look at page 5 section 9(b) of the actual form and then compare to the CFR Part 27 cites above. If the ATF believes a stock is “any component or part” of a firearm, then it is. Until it isn't. Looks like it's pretty much their call either way. And I wouldn't want to be in front of a judge arguing that a stock is not at all a part of a firearm. |

View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Again...Why would one need a Form 6 to buy this stock? An import permit and a Form 6 are 2 entirely different things. No, they aren't. A Form 6 IS an import permit. Even says that right at the top, Application and Permit for Importation of Firearms, Ammunition and Defense Articles Clearly you haven't read the directions on a Form 6...... General information, #7: 7. An unlicensed person may obtain a permit to import sporting type ammunition (excluding tracer or incendiary) and firearm parts (other than frames, receivers, or actions) without engaging the services of a Federal firearms licensee, provided that the importation is for his personal use and not for resale.

In the USSR, State agents were expected to meet certain quotas to prove they were being vigilant in their duties.
It was common in some of the more remote regions, where there was really no anti government sentiment, for commissars to pretty much pick random people to report, just so it looked like they were doing their job. Of course getting flagged got you sent to the Gulag, but hey, the commissar met his quota. |

Tell the "investigator" that you are gay, and that it is a custom order dildo molded to the shape of your anus only available from that Russian company.
You'll get it in 24 hours with a signed apology letter from Brandon. |

Just send them a copy of your approved Form 6 (required for importing modern firearms parts exceeding $100.00 in retail value ), and they'll release it to you .....

I'd say a stock is not a component or part as the it is not needed to make the firearm function. A stock is a luxury aka accessory.

It’s value is over $100, the shipment’s value is over $100. It got seized. OP could try calling his congressman. |

I have been following a similar thread on AKfiles. In that one, the OP claims the CBP also contacted his local PD, who in turn called him to ask him if he was making "ghost guns." If true, this is even more stunning than the CBP stealing the OP's property. Why would the CBP be concerned with state efforts to ban home-built firearms, and why would anyone think that is acceptable?

Monday I received a letter from US Customs and Border Protection that They seized my order from Russian Thunder.
All I ordered was a zenitco B21 and a section of Basis rail. How in the hell can this be classified as a firearm! Since when is a handguard and a rail section illegal according to customs, it says nothing on Russian Thunders website that these are subject to import restrictions. I am not in the financial position to be able to afford a lawyer and not exactly sure how to proceed on $139 worth of merchandise. I don't know the first thing about filing a petition but abandoning the property does not sit well with me. If you guys were in my position what would you do? |

Makes me glad my PERST came from eBay, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little nervous about what I'll do if it ever shits the bed on me.
Maybe if I make enough money this year I'll just buy a MAWL |

I am guessing no approved form 6 for importing implements of war?

If Zenitco becomes unobtainable, I think Crook will scratch that itch. Im sure customs would t get triggered by Ukraine exports; hell 4shooters has the in stock.
Attached File VS Attached File Paying a premium for something stateside feels cheaper than customs bs/hiring a lawyer to get your shit |

I’ve got a Zenitco leader rail kit, pic rail, and sling mount ordered from IvanTactical.
I guess I’ll keep my fingers crossed that it shows up. |

I sent a formal letter appealing the seizure and I cited all the codes relevant supporting this item not being a firearm part and not a regulated item. They received my letter 8 days ago. Will update once I hear back.
