    The manufacturer needs to have an export licence, so they won't send some brands such as magpul. If you email them they will give you a list of brands they can ship O/S. You can get 10 round mags off them, pistols and such, as long as the manufacture is listed.

    Standard capacity (30rd) mags are fine for inclusion in less than $100USD orders.

    Brownells does export Magpul, including their magazines.

    What's the best way to go about importing an ACOG?

    That has got really hard, even the NZ importer can't get them any more.

    Get someone in the us to send you one-but they would be braking the us law.

    I got on from Japan a few months ago, rich airsofters use them there and there importer still had stock then but were no longer able to restock.

    Have you considered Elcan? No problems getting them

    I have but they are about double the price of the ACOG's as far as I can tell? The other thing like about the ACOG is the 300BLK reticles which allow for supersonic/subsonic zero without any changes. Browe do a similar reticle but again they are extremely expensive and seem tricky to get at the moment

    Fixed power Elcan and acog are about the same price. You can land a 4x Elcan for $2k or a 3x for $1500 but a 1-4 would cost almost double that.

    300blk is a fair point

    Elcan are a step up on acog optically too.
    Browe wholesale price is much lower than acog.
    Acogs can no longer be exported.

    how much do you think I could get in a Browe BCO (or even a BTO) with a larue mount for? Numbers I've seen so far are in the ~$2.5-3k area

    We were going to retail them for around $NZ1700 back when the dollar was much better. We never took it up as obtained decent pricing on acogs, purchased them then had US State dept ban the export. By that time someone else got hold of browe.
