42 barrel status?

[panaceabeachbum]

Does anyone know if the bbl extension on the 42 bbls will be banned from import? I would think tech it would not be but the batmen can make laws on the fly now so I am unsure. The bbl its self would be a breeze for domestic production but the locking extension is another story.

Currently IO has .308 steyr bbls for $99 , look good , used
Northridge has some really nice mg73 or74 .308 bbls $90 , new unmarked
I have not ordered any others but there are probably some deals still floating around. Hard to believe I was buying new in the wrap steyr .308 bbls for under $50 just a few months ago

I had heard that barrels could be imported provided they are cut. Granted I have no way to confirm this, but if its true then extensions will be available.

Are any of the Chrome lined 308 Steyr barrels floating around?

Northridge has locking pieces.

Steyr has a manufacturing plant in the U.S. now, so if they wanted to, they just need to make the barrels and/or extensions here to be legal. I'm sure the deciding factor will be whether it's profitable or not. If you build it, they will come. uh, I heard that somewhere, but I'm talking about MG42s and barrels now.

Will....You are doing right. Get all the accessories first. Then we you get finished. You will have all the stuff you need. I hope that this new ban has some loop holes, but if not, it never hurts to have too many barrels and bolts.

John, i did not know Steyr has a factory here in the US. Seems these UN treaty signing countries don't sell to the public if they have a plant here in the states. Will be great if they do. I'm just not real optimistic at this point.
