Here's where shotgun barrel importing is covered.

An unlicensed person may obtain a permit to import sporting ammunition (excluding armor-piercing, tracer, or incendiary ammunition) and firearm parts (other than frames, receivers, firearm barrels, or barreled actions) without engaging the services of a Federal Firearms License (FFL), provided the items are for personal use and not for resale. Generally, ATF cannot issue a permit authorizing the importation of firearms barrels for non-sporting or surplus military firearms.


After the first shot the rest are just noise.

I'm not sure if this is religiously followed or not.

I wonder what the definition of "firearm" is. If it is as under the NFA, that is one thing; but if as normally perceived, it is something else. There should be a definition in that particular law. Also, does the definition of "barrel" include "blanks" or only finished barrels?.

I have had two barrel sets come to me from Canada. They were simply mailed to me.

Barrels alone are not a firearm and there are no restrictions of any kind on their importation.

Just go to the BATF site and read the regs yourself

Much better than having the BATFE come to you and read them smile

Don't believe the nuts. You need to get a Form 6 approved to import a barrel. Those who didn't broke the law.

No, you do not. Read the law. Read Form 6. You can call your local BATF office like I did and talk to them personally. Why make this difficult???? Just ASK THE BATF
