Curios and Relics License, Imports

Herb · 02-10-2002, 09:26 PM

I have a C&R license and have read the BATF regs but cannot find info on importation. I have e-mailed them with no success, I think it is their little joke, E-mail us with your questions, as they NEVER respond to anything. Can I submit a Form 6, as a collector and, if aproved, import a firearm? The regs also state that absolutely no military firearms are allowed to be imported, but Lugers are being imported every day. What gives here, I am apparently not reading something correctly or I am a victim of Gov. double speak. I retired from the Army after 22 years and thought that I am fairly up to date on 'double speak' but apparently not. Any enlightment on this will be grreatly appreciated.

Herb:

In California, importing is forbidden period.

Interesting question but I think we can only purchase within the US.

You have to have an 08 [Importers Lic] to import any MILITARY firearm......period!

Others can do an occassional importation [non-military guns] ..it requires an ATF form 6..and you must comply with any state laws.

Thanks Orv, that seems reasonable, Why can't ATF just say it in english instead of the doubletalk they use, excepting this, unless otherwise stated in para---? I just want to know, not spend hours trying to understand what they are trying to say by researching every darn sub-section and paragraph for exceptions. Thanks for the info.
