Granted, that data file comprised the instructions to print out an almost-functional firearm, but they still regulated the file, not the product. <br /><br /><br />Similarly, some red-dot sights mention being subject to ITAR. <br /><br /><br />IANAL, I am not a gun dealer, and I did not sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night, but my general take-away is that anything firearm-related should probably go through a designated exporter if it is leaving the States.Linogehttp://www.wallsofthecity.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-38267740503728366852014-02-18T10:40:03.166-05:002014-02-18T10:40:03.166-05:00Is it really, though?

If it does work with a T-53, I might be inclined to get one for my rifle. The only other mod I would like for my T-53 is a sniper style bent bolt. I've seen various kits for it, but I want to retain the original style bolt for my rifle to switch it back if necessary.Marknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-74400274470471024802014-02-17T22:32:36.340-05:002014-02-17T22:32:36.340-05:00$140 isn't bad really!$140 isn't bad really!John Bradleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-43484968840215681092014-02-17T20:08:10.998-05:002014-02-17T20:08:10.998-05:00It's a definite for me.

I expect it's much the same as shooting prone with a 30-round AK mag. <br /><br />It might be okay for display. I asked Mr. Cathey this morning and asked for details on how much pressure it can take. He replied with "I will do some testing tonight on side loading the extension and get back to you with some figures." As soon as he replies, I'll post the data. <br /><br /><br /><br />Personally, while I wouldn't do push-ups on it, I figure it will handle pretty much any rough handling likely to be encountered while hunting. Battlefield wear and tear is a different story, though.Erin Palettehttp://lurkingrhythmically.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6649591714373684167.post-28330055657608460842014-02-17T19:23:04.715-05:002014-02-17T19:23:04.715-05:00Oooh, a blued version would be sharp.
