ATF banning import of surplus 5.45x39mm AK-74 ammo.

Sorry if this is a dupe. Just as the title states. Tim over at MAC / The Bang Switch covers it pretty well. This is utter BS! This is NOT an April 1st joke.

This would appear to be one of those low-hanging fruit that would start to strip the Gun Control Act (of 1968) of it's teeth. Anyone going to go after it?

Its all my fault because I wrote ATF a letter telling them that AKs suck.

The BATFE is refusing to signing any import approval documents. DEFACTO BAN!!!!!

You Stalinist Bastard you!

I'm glad I never grabbed a 5.45 AK now but would have liked to and then grabbed a couple of cans. My lonely AK in 7.62x39 will have to do.

Isn't it just steel core 5.45x39 ammo. Can we still purchase other types of 5.45x39? I thought I read it was just the 'armor piercing' stuff.

You are correct. The steel core was just the cheapest of the imported 5.45

I wouldn't be surprised if a pen and a phone was used to initiate this.
