Thread: One-off Firearm part Import question

So a dust cover doesn’t seem to fall into the category of a restricted part unless it was going on an E-cat. I’ll still get advice from the customs AO and send a pic for him.

That maybe what the law states but those of us who have "been there, done that" know thats not the way it works in practice.
