  1. You said it yourself, they don't want to get an export license.

     

    Of course that's up to them, still it's not like ITAR can't be dealt with.

     

    I can forward you my correspondence, no problem. And yes, the one that got home by plane is sitting nicely on my M4.

    And why would they? Please explain exactly why a small business that sells low volume items would want to get an export license for firearms? It appears that you are unaware of the amount of hassle and paperwork involved and the potential for BigBrother to be sneaking further into your life. Let's see... stacks of paperwork that take hours and days to complete... scrutiny from the State Department... more forms to fill out with each purchase... hours of more hassle dealing with customs... paying brokers... all so you can have a picatinny rail... it makes absolutely no business sense for a low volume small business to hassle with shipping overseas...
  2. Wire transfer $1600 to my Nigerian account and I'll set you right up... I will of course put the excess cash into the box with your goodies and ship it back to you.

     

    It's not Sidearmor's excuse not to ship overseas... It's because they don't have an export license. The amount of paperwork to ship any regulated item overseas is just insane... it can get deep enough to sink the cargo ship carrying the goods... State Department has to approve it and issue an export license, etc... you may need a DSP-83 form for each purchase/shipment, etc... PITA for a "small business".

     

    Whether you feel it is just "a picatinny rail" or not does not matter, it is still covered by ITAR regulations and shipping it overseas is strictly prohibited without a valid export license issued by the U.S. Department of State, Office of Defense Trade Controls, prescribed in the International Traffic in Arms Regulation (ITAR), Title 22, Code of Federal Regulations, Parts 120-130.

     

    ECCN 0A984 – Shotguns, barrel length 18 inches (45.72 cm) or over; buckshot shotgun shells; except equipment used exclusively to treat or tranquilize animals, and except arms designed solely for signal, flare, or saluting use; and parts, not elsewhere specified. - notice the bold is not within the exception clause...

     

    Your rail, unfortunately as do all rails, falls within the ITAR regulations. As would a Surefire M80 forend, an M69 rail for a Remington 870, etc.

     

    Unless someone on here has the license to ship it to you, I'm not sure you are going to find anyone to help.

  3. I placed an order for a Promag collapsible stock like on 2/10/13, and it has yet to process. My guess is that they burned through their existing supply. I purchased one to compare the quality and component interchangeability with an OEM collapsible stock.

    They have been back-ordered for months.

  4. Not on the website, in store . We get them in store all the time. If you live near one go there and talk to someone and ask them when they come in . We get them every week like clockwork

     

    My local Gander hasn't gotten a single shipment of Magpul magazines or .223 rounds since they sold out of them right after the election. They did get a shipment of 5.56 Nato tracers from American Eagle that they sold for $20 per box of 20 rounds though. Truck comes in every Wednesday... doors open... flood of customers rush in... and find empty Magpul pegs...

  5. Someone has decided to steal my auction on Gunbroker.

     

    Mine

     

    Thief

     

    I've reported him, but they state it takes 48 hours to respond. Any ideas?

     

    Anybody want to bomb an auction?

     

    Other than the first two sentences of the description, I don't see it... ?

  6. He advised not to sell it to a Gun Shop or Pawn Shop

    Yes... yes... yes...

     

    offered to take a look at it and advise it's general condition, etc.

    He wants to play with it...

     

    He also mentioned not to fire it as it would decrease the value likely...
    Like it's never been fired before? [ATTACH=CONFIG]1942[/ATTACH]

     

    I have a flintlock pistol dated between 1645-1660 and have fired it multiple times... value hasn't dropped a cent... Just don't alter the condition of the pistol and the value will not decrease... unless the pistol is rusting and pitted... or is in unusable condition... then get it restored by someone who really knows what they are doing.

     

    But if you do fire it before getting it checked for safety/function (assuming you can't do it yourself) and it blows up in your hand it will devalue both the gun and your arm...

  7. Yep... and I sent a 5000 character reply last night... apparently you didn't get it :( and I didn't realize that I needed to tick the "save a copy to my sent box" before I sent it[ATTACH=CONFIG]1938[/ATTACH]

     

    EDIT: Maybe a moderator can dig it out?

  8. There really should be a law in place that allows immediate impeachment/removal from office when a politician demonstrates such gross incompetence. You should know the details of the legislation you are pushing and voting on.

    If I acted with that much ignorance in my job I would be fired immediately.
    No kidding.
  9. Did you see the video(s)? They had it all: that fearmongering twerp Stein (ugh he makes my skin crawl), police chief Keith Magnus explaining that handguns are not defensive weapons, plus all manner of epic stupidity and nonsense from the politicians. It goes on and on, but here's the part where CHIEF OF POLICE (Emeryville) Keith James embarrasses himself:

     

     

    That's just one highlight of many. It would be funny if it weren't so infuriating.

    Tell this lady what ole Chief James thinks...
