Grumpy Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Hi Guys, Does anyone know if there's a law about importing rubber display guns from overseas? Does BATF or Customs have a problem with this? Thanks, Bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIONHART Posted August 30, 2003 Report Share Posted August 30, 2003 Don't see why not. I think the tips would have to be orange or something. Look at all the Plastic Airsoft Guns that are imported from Japan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geodkyt Posted September 9, 2003 Report Share Posted September 9, 2003 QUOTE (Grumpy @ Aug 30 2003, 02:32 PM) Hi Guys, Does anyone know if there's a law about importing rubber display guns from overseas? Does BATF or Customs have a problem with this? Thanks, Bill Nope -- not from an ATF perspective. It ain't a gun, it ain't parts for a gun, it ain't gonna BE a gun. Therefor, They don't care. The Commerce Department has a rule that replica guns must have an orange barrel plug IAW specific regs they have. Basically, a day-glow "hunter colored" orange barrel plug in the muzzle (recessed no more than 6mm). This is supposed to keep kids with toys and no brains from being shot by cops. The end user can do whatever he likes on teh plug -- the regulation/law (I can't recall which it is) is only binding on importers, manufacturers, and sellers. . . kinda like the mattress tag thing. Sure -- import your rubber duckies! And get some cheap AK rubber duckies while you're at it, too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted September 10, 2003 Report Share Posted September 10, 2003 Bill, I'm assuming that you're talking about the prop Thompsons as used on Band of Brothers. just wondering why you would want one of these? I've seen one and they look horrible compared to the proper metal replicas like the MGC Thompson for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted September 16, 2003 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2003 Hi Gang, Thanks for the replies. Yes I know it's just a piece of rubber. And the MGC replicas are better, ( have a couple ). But it's a piece of Tommy Gun history, and as a collector, ( PACK RAT ); Thought it might be fun to have. But it was running a bit to pricey.

Sgt Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I always wondered why the crooks don't paint the tips of their real guns orange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PMDW Posted April 24, 2004 Report Share Posted April 24, 2004 I've heard reports of gang members doing just that. Painting their guns orange so people would think they're fake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
