Help importing parts to the US?

David,

Some German gun dealers have become a bit careful with exports lately. If you want, I can put you in touch with a gentleman who takes care of my exports from Germany. If the gun parts are 'essential' parts (receiver, barrel, frame), an export permit is needed, small parts can usually be exported without additional paper work.

My contact is a German resident and speaks English.

Wow, Gerben, sehr gut! This makes my day! (...well, there's always a chance of snatching defeat from the jaws of victory!) I would definitely value your friend as a contact for this.

Fortunately, I'm after small parts, which is why I was taken aback by the seller's policy. Stuff such as front sight, takedown bolt, and magazines--or their guts--is what I'm after. These items are sold out on this side of the pond and I was thrilled to find them available anywhere. I'll probably spend a little too much in this way, but I'm anticipating a lot of satisfaction to make up for it.

Please PM me, or email with his info. and we'll get things rolling.

Thanks so much again,

David
