if 5.45 is determined as armor-piercing, is it legal to own/shoot them? or just can't import/sell to civilians?
ETA, answer my own question from google: "It’s perfectly legal to possess, purchase, sell or shoot armor piercing ammunition. It’s not legal to manufacture or import armor piercing ammunition." http://www.pagunblog.com/2007/07/29/armor-piercing-ammo/ "Direct from the ATF
WHAT FEDERAL RESTRICTIONS ARE PLACED ON AP AMMO? If you are NOT a (FFL) licensee under the Gun Control Act (an individual): It is: ok to OWN AP ammo ok to SELL AP ammo ok to BUY AP ammo ok to SHOOT AP ammo NOT ok to MAKE AP ammo (18 USC sec. 922(a)(7)) NOT ok to IMPORT AP ammo (18 USC sec. 922(a)(7))" http://www.ar15.com/forums/t_6_42/349054_Are_AP_bullets_legal__.html |

Quote HistoryQuoted:
Partial corroboration from MAC: http://www.thebangswitch.com/import-ban-on-7n6-5-45x39/ Again, 7n6 5.45x39mm does not and cannot meet the explicit parameters for being an armor-piercing handgun ammunition. Not without the ATF violating the law by ignoring the federal definition in an absolutely inarguable manner. The law says nothing can meet the definition if it is below .22 cal, or wasn't designed and intended, or has a jacket weight of less than 1/4th of the total projectile weight. For it to be bannable it would have to be greater than .22 AND designed and intended for a handgun AND jacket weight more than 1/4th projectile weight. 5.45mm cannot and never will be any of those things. ATF can try to ban it but a well-placed lawsuit will cram that up their ass in a heartbeat. The statute is crystal clear and they have no wiggle room. |

Someone wasn't moving enough inventory (read 5.45x39 ammo) and needed to create some panic buying to unload it.

Unless I'm reading all of this wrong, it seems like this isn't originating just from Mr. Yeager. MAC has a blog post up regarding this (which was already linked). In the comments he is stating that he has personally spoken with the importer who received this EMAIL. Something is definitely going on, although the full scope of it remains to be seen since this is just one email to one importer.

It looks to me, like others have said above, that there is a possible email regarding an inquiry.
This does not equate to a policy letter, but if genuine, probably is indicative of ATF's intent. I can't believe that they haven't cut off all Russian imports based on the recent Ukraine situation alone. I do find it believable that ATF would do something arbitrary and not in compliance with the statutory authority. |

I thought smaller than .22 was exempt.  It is, but probably still smart not to temp the BATF. Posted Via AR15.Com Mobile No, 22 and under is exempt from the 25% jacket weight provision, but not from the core materials provision of the law. So if someone is making a pistol they can can put 5.45x39 in the same boat as 7.62x39.

Fair question: Wouldn't the Soviet manual also say that about 7.62x39 and rifles....yet they are banned? BATFE based it's determination that 7.62 steel core bullets are AP on two facts: 1. There is steel in the core. 2. It can be used in a pistol (because a manufacturer announced that it was going to make a 7.62X39 pistol). In the event that a manufacturer announces that it intends to make a 5.45 pistol, expect BATFE to make the same determination. When the determination is challenged, expect the courts to uphold it. In other words, BATFE doesn't rely on the part of the definition involving jacket weight so the purpose for which the cartridge is designed is irrelevant. |
