Thread: Warranty on private imports?

Can anyone here who has either had a rifle imported (ar15) or has knowledge of the process enlighten me on how the warranties go with faulty products that have been privately imported?

I'm about to go for my E some time soon and after spending the last 3 years ogling at guns online I've found one to suit once I slap an optic on there. Trouble is that none of these are in new zealand and I'm not sure if anyone here has authority to import a BCM product? If I was to have it privately imported then would it be like a parallel import and void all warranties, leaving me in the deep end?

For those that want to know

BCM® Haley Strategic Jack Carbine (HSP)

It has all of the features I would add myself to another generic AR without the fuss and cost of me getting it done. Aside from perhaps a hand stop or AFG and Aimpoint.
