Shipping gun parts to Mexico
Does anyone know about shipping gun parts to Mexico? I have a customer emailing me wanting to buy 3 firing pins but they want them shipped to Mexico.
Thanks

With all the bad stuff going on in Mexico nowadays. I definitely wouldn't be sending/selling any gun parts down there. You might wind up in Gitmo with the ragheads, praying 5 times a day. 0 -
What firearms do these pins fit? If the firing pins are even remotely military then shipping would be block under the Arms Control Act of 1976. Even if they are for sporting guns; this is not the time to be shipping gun parts to Mexico! 0 -
These are firing pins for Davis P32/380, Raven P25/MP25, Lorcin L25.
No way these weapons are useful for anything other than plinking or blowing up in the users hand.0 -

Really? No other possible uses?
Huh.
Stay on topic, we are not going to turn this thread into a discussion of the merits, or lack of merit, of these brands of firearms.0 -
The parts are legal to ship and do not fall under teh Arms Control Act of 1976. You will need to fill out the standard US Customs declaration and the package must be signed for upon delivery. As I understand it the importation of firearms, firearms parts; which include repair parts, parts which can used to assemble a complete firearm or parts used to reactivate a deactivated firearm all need a import permit issued by the Secretara de la Defensa Nacional (Secretary of the National Defence ), Estado Mayor 6a. Seccin, Lomas de Sotelo, in Mexico City. My feeling is that if the buyer actually had the permit he'd be buying the parts from Numrich, who ship gun parts all over the world every day of the week, and not from you. In my personal opinion the amount of money involved in the sale of three firing pins is hardly worth the time and effort involved. The risks of course are tremendous. They are not playing games down there and if one of these pop guns ends up being found at a crime scene along the border you can count on a visit from the Department of State as well as being fingered by every news agency in the USA as a major trafficker of firearms into the Mexican drug war. This is my own feeling, but you can do as you please. 0 -
Mark, his words ...
Thoughtful, measured, and right on the money. No one could put this it out there any better.
Chandler IMHO: The right thing is to walk a way. Nothing good can come of that potential deal ... and it definitely is not worth the time, energy, money or possible outcomes ... even IF legal, no good is possible with it.
If he or they are straight-up they will deal with Numrich. This deal isn't going to make you rich ... but it definitely could "retire" you ... don't go and do something dumb. That request is like a wet paper bag full of rattlers, (IMHO). Walk away (not too slowly).
I personally know of two decent guys that did a reasonable favor or two for family or friends in Mexico. Nothing unethical, immoral or terrible. They have both lived long enough to regret and the one has payed very heavily, and in fact is still paying: his profession, time, energy, money and freedom. He wasn't running guns, drugs, prostitues, terrorizing, torturing, killing, threatening, nor harming a single soul ... but he was doing something most of us probably has done (not in Mexico though, or not caught anyway!) ... they did not appreciate him much though!
So let me edit and change what I was suggesting ... don't walk away from this ... run away as fast as you can and don't ever even think to look back!
What ever you decide, good luck and the best to you.0 -
I emailed the guy the address for Numrich. I told him I could only ship to U.S. addresses. Thanks to everyone for their input. 0
