So what you are saying is that there wouldn't be any statutory prohibition on a Chinese machine shop selling Rifles Barrels in the US?
and
Can we give them "least favored nation status" and get some Mak-90s imported again?
I bought a new MAK90 sometime back in 1991(?). Not too long ago I bought
a Yugo AK made up of
used zastava parts and new US parts (barrel, receiver,
FCG, etc).
The motley 1/2 used 1/2 new AK shoots as well as the new Mak90 ever did.
The only difference is the lack of a chrome bore --which I would have been
willing to
pay more for. But, given all the non-cor ammo that's here now
compared to the chicom mil surp corrosive ammo back in the 80s, it's pretty
much not even a necessity now.
You guys aren't missing out on anything that's not available right now. In
many ways our choices have been better over the last couple years than
they were back in the 80s
because Americans have used their ingenuity
to fill the market.
If you use an inflation calculator, the Rom imports are far cheaper now than
the chi's were back then. Inflation wise the mixed yugo/US guns are also
cheaper than the chis were.
I wish that they would be allowed to resume the sale of weapons accessories in this country because their AK-47 magazines were superior to what's coming out of Europe today.
I've bought a tub full of mixed European mags that included both new and
used from Bulg, Rus, Rom, Yugo, Bos, etc etc. All my early mags were new
chinese (including a drum). Again, you guys are lacking nothing when it comes
to quality right now. Likewise, picking up mags at anywhere between $6-$10
each right now is on par dollar for dollar with the 80s
without even adjusting
for inflation.
Some of you younger guys don't know how good you have it today.
