My brother in law wants my AR badly. Is there a way to export a 5.56mm AR to Italy?

He's an Italian citizen in Rome.

Your main problem would be on the US side with the whole ITAR thing.

In short if you can get it out of the US you will be able to get into Italy (if your BIL has meets the requirements to own one there)

Aren't military calibers like 9mm, 5.56mm and so on banned in Bella Italia? Your BIL might wanna check into that first before you go through the ITAR/export license/State Dept. red tape bullshit.

only 9x19 and .50BMG are still banned for civilians.

importing an AR in possible, but I dont know how hard is to do it privately since it quite hard for the official dealers.
you'd need an export license from the Dept of State & and an import license from the local Police Dept in Rome.
never done it so I cant help that much, sorry.

the Italian Police website has some FAQs that could help... tell him to check it out.

I'll pass that on. I told him that finding one in a store would work much better for him. Can you get cerakote there? He's in love with Burnt Bronze.

I dont know about Cerakote but the Armeria Camuna sell Gunkote.
Rainier Arms is familiar with ITAR & exporting stuff... you could ask them if it's doable

I know the guys at Rainier well, and hell, I could probably hire them to send a rifle out, but my concern is on the Italian end.

I'll ask though, maybe they have exported to Italy before.

a friend of mine tried to import a Colt 6400 a lot of years ago (8-10 years IIRC)... the Italian Govt was fine with that but not the US Dept of State
I hope things has changed lately

Interesting... I'll follow up with Rainier. Might have him spec out a rifle with them and then export it. We'll see if it's possible.
