I have selected firearms web forums I visit every day. If I note anything of particular interest I will bring it to the attention of the people who need to see it. Sometimes it is an internal concern, other times it might be one of our customers I contact. Regards, Richard C. Hamer

Don't forget the tax guys... Oh yes, I forgot the link to these guys... http://www.ttb.gov/firearms/index.shtml They have good info for importers. We deal with the manufacturer section. Eventually ALL importers have to do some sort of manufacturing. Regards, Richard C. Hamer

Importing from Switzerland.. Colorado Gun Sales is an importer and does a lot of business with Switzerland. http://www.cogunsales.com/ Not only do you need to be aware of US import Law but Switzerland has it's own set of particulars to address. Regards, Richard C. Hamer

Remember that the US State Dep't maintains a list of countries that ARMS and AMMUNITION cannot be imported from. Vietnam, North Korea, Libya, Cuba, Iran, Iraq are just a few countries on that list!

A quick data point.. I just glanced at the BATFE Annual Firearms Manufacturing And Export Report for 2007. Century Arms MANUFACTURED over 24,000 LONG guns in that year. I believe that was all rifles. That is a large number considering that manufacturing isn't their primary focus (unlike S&W...

Gungnir, I appreciate you taking a moment to clarify your guidance to the OP. I am also a bit overly sensitive due to some unjustifed "beatings" I have weathered on other forums. I will certainly face any criticism we have "earned", but I find it difficult to accept the "well I heard"...

Wise Lite Arms isn't actually a very large company. We start with the Non-disclosure and usually define a contract spelling out what the customer expects. We don't have a real R&D budget. We expect to be paid by the customer for the time/effort expended to develope their idea/design into a...

Patents are expensive and take time that might be better spent getting your product ready to market. When we do quotes or contract work for other companies and they supply the design spec's we use a "non-disclosure" agreement. It gets signed before we are "exposed" to the customers data. We...

Wise Lite Arms also manufactures the "Colefire Magnum". I believe we have extra magazines for it available for purchase thru our web site. Regards, Richard C. Hamer
