Please note: As of June 26, 2018, all firearms having "China" as the original Country of Origin have now been sanctioned. Due to these new US sanctions with China, we will no longer be importing/exporting Defense Articles with China as the country of origin.
We have also been made aware that firearms with Russian origin are also sanctioned. Because of this we will no longer be importing/exporting Defense Articles with Russia as the country of origin.
