Does "repair or replacement purposes" mean you can't build a new kit on one of these, only replace one you already own?

theres' an article in the May small arms review that says new short barrel rifles form 1s can't be made with imported foreign receivers that had the clause "for relacement or repair only", I take this to mean you can't use one for building a new title I rifle also

What we want passed is HR1703. This would allow the importation of the full guns again.

If you think of it, a cut reciever gun is 'repaired' by the installation of a new reciever...
If it gets to a fight, you end up with: Re-build of a cut-reciever parts kit -> Yes Build of a gun from separate new parts using reciver -> No |

No, its creation of a new weapon. You are not "repairing" a machine gun.. |

The article is bullshit, I have a letter from ATF saying I can build an SBR SIG 551/552 with a R/R receiver. edit - make that "had", I used to have one but I can't find it. There is another letter on the internet saying it's ok to make an AUG with a RR receiver. |

So, let me ask a question regarding that, then. Let's say that I've got a bunch of (imported) Imbel FAL receivers or something... I've got one single (domestic) DSA receiver. Assuming that "repair or replacement only" actually applied to me, couldn't I build my FAL on the DSA receiver, then "replace" it with an Imbel receiver, and go down the line like that? |

I think it has to do more with actual intent. Pretty sure thats why the ATF got all bent out of shape to begin with.. Lets be honest, the whole importerd receivers and imported parts kits assembled here is a loophole that should not excist.. You are basically defeating the 89 import ban (which is an amended section of the the 1968 GCA). "Repair and replacement" use honestly means to repair or replace (as part of a repair or upgrade ) your weapon that is broken. Not make a new one. No matter how you want to twist it, you are not repairing your kit, or repairing your receiver because they were not sold to you as a complete weapon. A legit use would be to repair or replace parts on your factory SA85, Mitchell Yugo, etc. Of course, the ATF issuing contradictory statements is nothing new. |

It's arguable, I suppose. Just as it's arguable that DSA's purchase of FAL blueprints and subsequent production of 100% domestic FAL's is defeating the '89 import ban.

DSA and imported parts kits are apples and oranges. They basically make the whole weapon here in the USA. The 89 import ban only covers the importation, not the domestic manufacture. |

You can use up to 10 imported parts in your gun and it is still domestic.
Another reason why the ban on recievers is BS. CRC |

Yes, but domestic does not matter.. The law says in plain english that the parts may not be used to create a weapon prohibited from importation. Well, an AW, even an American made AW is prohibited from importation. It gives no exception for the 10 parts count, etc.... |

But the BATFE does allow up to 10 imported parts in a rifle.

They weapons we build are US made. They have enough US made parts to be considered US made, where the rest of the parts come from is irrelevant. It's weird, it not illeagal in the slightest, the law is pretty cut-and-dry when in comes to building. How they can import them is beyond me, but I'm glad they can.

Yes, but not for a US imported rifle.. Again, the ATF is saying that you cannot use the kit/receiver to build a weapon that is prohibited from importation..A US made AW is prohibited from importation. It makes no mention of a US made weapon being ok, 10 US parts, nothing... It is cut and dry what it allows.. And, if the parts are for "repair and replacement" use only, how are you supposed to use them in a build?
Yes, but again a US made assault weapon is prohibited from importation. |

ANY rifle they declared nonsporting is prohibited from importation but you can import parts to put in a rifle made here (up to 10) with the rest being US manufactured.
That would be 922(r) compliant |

Yes, but you cant assemble it using the new imported kits/receivers.. If they were imported before, no problems. The ATF import permits are stamped with a big "for repair and replacement only", and the original importer must follow this. I am sure the ATF got made others were not following this, and thats why they cracked down. |
