*Parts

10k parts. And they only came from China. Some asshat locally ordered them.

This shouldn't be stickied.

More than likely it's knock off cheap fucking Magpul counterfeits.

My thoughts exactly. Probably just a local gun shop with some warehouse space ordered some cheap chinesium UTG rails and other shit like that to sell.

And the importer mislabeled them, maybe trying to get through customs cheaper or something.

Really? Because people already import that stuff illegally far too often and you don't see that in the news.

Yeah, probably some parts kits that were considered easily convertible to automatics. Not familiar with AKs, but the equivalent of a lower with a third hole. Our maybe the parts kits included seers

You can do that shit with a coat hanger and 1 minute of your time so it isn't worth the 10 years in prison you'd get for buying one or for even building one before shit actually hits the fan.

I doubt chinese mfg's can do AR15 lowers at a good price. The tooling to do it cost-effectively is very expensive and the quality required to get it to work is high.

Exactly. Which parts?

My thoughts exactly. If we're talking roll pins or something, whoopie shit. If we're talking DIAS (Drop In Auto Sears) or something like that, then we've got something to talk about.

However, that said, any restriction on the right to bear arms is wrong.

any restriction on the right to bear arms is wrong.

Not when it comes to foreign Communists operating within our borders.

Lowers I’m guessing

ATF has creatively interpreted that part in the past. They redefined an entire shipment of plastic airsoft guns as AR lowers because they claimed you could maybe remachine them into lowers.

We'll.... They aren't wrong.... Some of these airsoft replicas are damn close to the real deal. You seen one? I never thought of it before you mentioned it but it wouldn't be impossible to convert a toy lower into a real lower depending on the specs and quality of manufacturing. I have a polymer lower. Doesn't fit perfectly with uppers but it does fit and does fire.

Doesn't look like it from the pictures in the article. Whatever it was, 10k fit into 32 gallon zipper bags. Too bad they took the pictures with them in the bags, glare makes it impossible to tell what's inside.

My guess: AK Parts kits.

Look up how to build an AR 15 and then look at the pictures in the article. Americans should already know this information.

https://mobile.twitter.com/CBP/status/1277062666801033217 this photo isn't cropped so you can more easily make out the sears.

Meh, I doubt it.

They usually go-big or go-home when it comes to NFA. 10,800 Auto sears or nothing.
