Looks like small retail orders of ammunition components will be legal soon? My head hurts reading all that...

[Wayne Smith]

I got maybe halfway through it and mine does too!

My head exploded. Need a valium. Just sayin.

Can anyone who has read this tell me if barrels are now able to be exported without the high fee for paperwork etc.

This legal speak is confusing. It says the barrels are controlled under USML Category 1 and 2. Best I can tell they are still under ITAR.

Here is a list I found online:

The following items will still be ITAR-controlled after the adoption of the amendments:

Silencers, mufflers and sound suppressors;
Barrels, receivers (frames), bolts, bold carriers, slides and sears “specially designed” for the items covered under the newly revised USML Category I (a), (b) and (d);
Drum and other magazines for firearms to .50 caliber (12.7 mm) inclusive with a capacity greater than 50 rounds, regardless of jurisdiction of the firearm, and specially designed parts and components therefor;
Parts and components specially designed for conversion of a semiautomatic firearm to a fully automatic firearm;
Accessories or attachments specially designed to automatically stabilize aim (other than gun rests) or for automatic targeting, and specially designed parts and components therefor;
Parts and components specially designed for defense articles described in newly revised Category I (c) and (e);
Certain ammunition handling equipment; and
Gun barrels, rails, tubes, and receivers specially designed for the weapons controlled in paragraphs (a) and (d) of the revised USML category II.
