Importing from France

grizzclaw
I won an auction and paid for an 870 top folding stock. The shipping was free. The seller sent an email to me stating that the stock is held up in customs in France. is there something illegal about me buying this from this person or having it sent to me?

    Import restrictions of the Arms Export Control Act are under control of ATF; you can check with them, but I don't know that there is any problem with importing a gun stock.

    I can't imagine France would have a problem with exporting a stock. Is it possible that you've just been scammed? The fellas working out of the Internet cafes in Lagos have gotten pretty good.

    I couldn't find it on the atf site when I looked. it's a remington top folder. The seller already said he would refund my money if there was a problem. Can you elaborate? I forgot to metion that it is a used stock that I bought off of ebay.

    Most of the top folding Remington factory stocks are marked LAW ENFORCEMENT ONLY, which was a Remington internal policy and did not have the force of law like the 1994 Crime Bill. I am thinking that if your stock is marked LE Only then the French Customs may have an issue with exporting it. This is just a guess.
