Now Fact!! -ATF & Barrel imports new ruling

IAMACLONE_2

Take this post with a small grain of salt!!
Rumors are just great.....

Supposivly, Sterling Nixon, Chief of BATFE Tech has backed off just a little on his ruling banning futher imports of threaded barrels.

His letter was up earlier on the BATFE website, but now is gone...

The jest of the update is that they will allow some "sportable" threaded barrels to be imported. Like the Sagia's....

But, we threaded barrel users, are still holding our breath, hopefully we wont turn blue waiting, on Mr. Nixon's new letter to be posted again.

If I can find it I will link it.

Me thinks Century paid off someone in washington. Think about it, who has the most to lose? the importers of most of the military style rifles.

I saw a copy of the letter somehere today.

here is a copy of the letter. what it looks like is saigas barrels will be importable but sar1's will not due to the threaded muzzle.

ATF recognizes that certain firearm barrels may be used to assemble either an importable or a nonimportable firearm. With this fact in mind, ATF believes that such "dual use" barrels would be eligible for importation into the United States under section 925(d)(3) for commercial purposes, provided prospective importers of such barrels make representations indicating that
neither the importer nor subsequent purchasers of the barrels will use the barrels to assemble nonimportable firearms. Importers of such barrels must provide sufficient information, e.g., specific model designation(s) of the firearm(s) that the barrels will be used to assemble, in the "Specific Purpose of Importation" section of the ATF Form 6 that would enable ATF personnel
to establish that the barrels sought for importation are being imported for the assembly into importable firearms. If the dual use barrels are being imported for resale to third parties, the importer must state in the "Specific Purpose of Importation" section of the ATF Form 6 that purchasers have been or will be advised that the barrels may only be used for assembly into certain importable models and must list the specific models for which the barrels will be sold.
Inclusion of a model not known to be sporting may require the submission of a sample for evaluation to determine if importation of the barrels will be approved.

Yep clear as mud...

Thank you Mr. Sterling Nixon, for portecting us from the evils of the AWB, that you have basicly brought back to life !!!

As posted before, Sterling Nixon, has his own agenda based on the Demorat's grabber agenda, as shown in his "BATFE Ruling Letters".
