Legal question on LEO Post 1989 Galil's....
Hello, I was wondering if it is legal to buy a post 89 Semi-Auto only LEO Galil rifle provided that you replace parts with the required U.S. ones? I know the differences and scope of the 1989 and 1994 bans. I know of 2 dealers that were going to do this with SIG 550's. I have yet to see them on the market and wonder if they ran into legal problems. If it is legal, I may get a 550 and a Galil!
Thanks, Jerod

it is illegal to build one, and some people say that makes posession unlawful, but i would not sweat it. nobody chex the parts on these things, and somebody else built it.
the law does not address this question, and what the law does not prohibit...

"In THAT direction," the Jin said, waving its right paw round, "lives a Han: And in THAT direction," waving the other paw, "lives a Ming Hare. Visit either you like: they're both mad." "But I don't want to go among mad people," Max remarked. "Oh, you can't help that," said the Jin: "we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad." "How do you know I'm mad?" said Max. "You must be," said the Jin, "or you wouldn't have come here." |

As long as it is US Part compliant, and truly semi-auto only.
Than you are fine.
