For many of them intact or even certain parts like frames/receivers & barrels, the answer is no. Here's some of the reasons why:
1958 MSA banned the importation (for citizens use) of US military weapons made in the USA & loaned out to our Allies as Lend/Lease items. This was a protectionist measure for the lame American gun manufacturers.
1968 GCA banned the importation (for citizens use) of all full auto weapons & frames/receivers, military surplus weapons & "unsporting" weapons and frames/receiver/barrels from "unsporting" weapons. The NRA facilitated creating this steaming pile of protectionist legislation. This law is just as bad as the 1934 NFA.
1976 AECA/USML/ITAR broadly restricted the importation or exportation of "defense" related articles including gun parts. This was a UN Treaty signed into law by Republican Ford. Unknown by me at this time if the NRA supported it or not.
In 1993 & 1998 Clinton bribed China & Russia to restrict gun imports to the US by offering generous trade agreements with them.Comment

"...and an old German guy said there was a bit of an unsaid joke about the Nazi salute; apparently when they clicked their heels and raised their arm up in the air in a Nazi salute, they were saying, "we're in this much s___."Comment

Mutual Security Act. Originally the US gun manufactures wanted to ban all surplus guns from importation. Only the Lend/Lease stuff was banned in 1958. They got their wish in 1968 though, with the Gun Control Act. The GCA was relaxed at bit in 1986 to allow the importation of C&R surplus guns. The MSA is still fully in force. Some big importers like Century & Interarms have done some tricks to get around it like having non allied governments buy the pile of guns they want to import from the allied country. Once the non allied country "owns" the guns, the importer does the form 6 and import them if approved. Clinton & W Bush cracked down on stuff like that, making it very hard to do so now. Most C&R guns have dried up anyways. It's too much trouble to try to rescue all the guns in Africa, which most are in rough condition.Comment

Kinda even sadder, that Mitchell's Mausers couldn't have saved them.....

Actually I only started collecting Milsurps 3 years ago. I think I might own about 24...They're cheaper than guns that will most likely never get the opportunity to kill somebody...
