I know it needs a demill beyond what the UK did already but I'm not sure if it's "the usual" for importing other types of firearms.
I checked the AFT site and while they have online help for things like a G3 or FAL they don't have anything on a falling-block gun. I tried contacting the technical branch but they want 60-90 days to reply and I need to get the vehicle on a ship before that so I thought I'd reach out here.
I went to the Littlefield auction and it looked like some of the bigger stuff had been demilled (recently) with just deep welding on the breech.
Barrel import normally required 3-holes I gather but with the work involved in 76mm holes I was wondering if I can just cut it in half and torch some material off the chamber area?
Cutting the breech of a tank gun, how many cuts and where or can I just weld it up heavily?
I can just have the barrel and breech removed entirely but I'd like the option of having it look as real as I can.
thanks again,
