Help! Is it legal to send bolt assembly to European Union?
My shooting buddy lives in Europe.
The bolt of his M1 Carbine fell apart some time ago.
He tried to order a replacement here in the US, but no dealer was willing to ship it to Europe.
WTF?
Why?
Can I legally purchase M1 bolt asseembly here, and send it to him?
I know already, that on the receiving end in Europe there would be no problem, as long as it was shipped to a licenced dealer, or a gunsmith. No big deal, because a local gun store owner over there is willing to help.
Has anyone done it before?
If not, could some of our legal eagles point me toward the proper set of federal/state regulations on the subject?
I tried to do the reaserch on my own, but with miserable results.
Obviously I want to help my friend, but at the same time I'd rather avoid hearing some black helicopters hovering over my roof at 4:00AM, not to mention a cost of replacing the entry door.
