STEINBVG · 04-28-2021, 10:29 PM

Legal questions:
1) are US citizens allowed to own / transfer semiautomatic open bolt .22 sporting rifles, typically produced before 1982?
I doubt anybody makes modern guns like that.
Examples:
Voere 2005, Gevarm E-1, Marlin 50, BSA Ralock. Perhaps others? ( I would like to know that to)
2) if they are NFA items, are they grandfathered in due to the manufacture date?

3) can one import such a gun from let,s say Canada or UK?
Or they are banned from the importation for a mere fact of being open bolt guns?
Thank you.
