If I recall, The biggest import issue with kits is that the importer has to show the original receipt on when say Bulgaria for instance bought a batch of PKMs Yup, because of our Russia/China/South Africa/etc import bans --they can't go through intermediaries without like a 10yr 'cool off' period (or ever) |

Kharn They're changing the barrel demill rules to require cuts through the chamber (ie trunnion), gas port (ie gas block) and muzzle (ie brake/sight base) So demilled kits will require a lot more labor to retain usable parts going forward. |

Not many instances meeting all those criteria to feed the market there. More likely scenario.

The US has given a lot of it away to ANA/ANP, who then sell/lose it to Taliban or others. Makes me shake my head. In 2009 I was in Mosul, IA was being deluged with US arms and equipment. IA dufus ND's his NIB M4 three feet from me and laughs, Inshallah my ass. My point is: We showered them with Brand New up-armored Hummers with the powered turrets, Connex's full of NIB weapons and more ammo than they could ever hope to ND. Taught them everything they'd need to know to keep bad guys out of their city. Sadly, at the FIRST sign of ISIS making a move on Mosul, those IA cowards dropped everything and ran. Ran their Hummers until they ran outta fuel and just left them there fully equipped and functional. They left motor pools full of brand-new maintenance equipment, tools, everything. I have nothing but detest for the Iraqi Army and their Government, throw Afghanistan in there while your at it. |
