On vacation in Poland

[Gavelek]

So I'm vacationing, traveling from Germany to Poland, while in Krakow I visit the famous Sunday swap meet, and after browsing through some very expensive bayonets I see a guy selling 30 rounds Ak mags, perfect condition, price around 10 bucks, OMG, I want to buy it! Then the reality sinks in, I'm flying back to LA in couple weeks, if I put them in my luggage, I might get in trouble, would you buy it?

Buy it and Mail it!

Ship it to yourself disassembled. Also the drums are like $70 bucks over there. Look for them too. Enjoy your vacation!

I take ruskie pirogi and potato pancakes with goulash anytime! Oh and give me a sour pickle washed with zubrowka, how's that for breakfast?

Since reading Chris Kyle's book and his mention of consuming Zubrowka with the GROM unit, I've wanted to try some.

Any chance of bringing a bottle back?

Zubrowka translates to Bison vodka, it is flavored with a special type of grass, which as the folks are saying gets that unique flavor cause bisons pee on it
I will definitely bring one, not for resale though, but we could meet for a drink

Going back to my initial post, is it safe to send AK mags to LA?

I have not researched this area heavily, but it is my understanding you would first need an approved ATF Form 6 as an "ammunition feeding device" is an implement of war and is governed by the Arms Export Control Act. (It covers both importing and exporting).

I'm not going to quote all the regs as they are numerous, so see the link for the complete list of hoops.

27 CFR 478.119

[Gavelek]

Well, it spells NO, thanks for a great info
Still MontClaire idea is tempting..

Look for the vodka bottle with a blade of grass in it.

When I was on the Caltrain a couple of weeks ago I met some polish dude going to Stanford. His family are managers at the Radom small arms factory. I mentioned that I would love to check out the factory so he gave me his card and told me he could set up a tour and test fire.

[Gavelek]

Test fire at Radom...wow...they make the best AK's!

[Rickrock1]

Is everything straight forward on Poland or sdrawkcaB ?

[blkA4alb]

Enjoy your time there, I loved Poland. While I was living in the Czech Republic I drank plenty of Zubrowka with my lovely Polish friend, very good stuff.

If you can spare a day, I highly recommend a trip to Auschwitz. Not something you should miss..

I'll be there on the 27th for my Cousin's wedding in Opole then over to Wroclaw to visit family.

I go back every year but I haven't made it to the swap meets.

I dunno about ITAR regs about shipping stuff back in. I have bought plenty of AK parts through people in Polska on gunbroker.

I am Polish and would love to go to Poland! Got any pics to share?
