Can anyone tell me if the Daewoo DR rifles will be allowed for import again, once the AWB dies?

As I recall, the Daewoos were banned for import by Bush 41 <spit>, but I think once the AWB dies, it should be okay again.

Confirmation, anyone?

No the AWB had nothing to do with banning imports. The import ban was a EO by Bush sr, and I think Ciltion had an EO adding to it.

jeez daewoo makes guns too?

Unless I'm mistaken they are banned under the '89 executive order you mentioned above.

The AWB has nothing to do with import/export.

Unless a domestic manufacturer starts making a copy stateside there won't be any more.

If you want a non-AR15 in .223 take a look at the AR180 by Armalite.

Love your "blog" by the way.

Crap. I thought the importation had been caught in the "penumbra" of the AWB.

Not that I care for myself -- I don't like the .223 poodleshooters -- but others may want to purchase this fine-looking gun.

Thankee for the kind words.

There's a possibility that they will return, but they would have to go through the same dance that gets WASRs and the like into the country.

Folks may remember that, pre-'94, "post-ban" had a different meaning, and referred to the thumbhole-stocked "post-'89 Bush Ban" guns, like the MAK-90 and SR9.
