Buying parts from Europe

[Dean C]

I'm buying some small repair parts (barrel link and extractor for a couple Star pistols) from Spain. Are there any hoops I'll need to jump through regarding imprort rules etc. that I should be aware of? I'm purchasing from an individual, not a business. This is considered hobby related.
Thanks for the help,
dean

Try Bob's Gun Shop first.

As long as the following conditions are met, it will not be neceasry for you to file a form 6 in order to legally import the parts:

b. Minor components and parts of Category I(a) firearms, except
barrels, cylinders, receivers (frames) or complete breech
mechanisms, when the total value does not exceed $100 wholesale
in any single transaction. The $100 wholesale value supersedes the
previous dollar threshold of $500 wholesale in any single transaction.

I have been trying for two and a half years to get a slide and barrel for a Sphinx 2000 pistol. The sole distributor/importer of Sphinx pistols cites 'difficulties' in getting the Form 6 approved by BATFE as the reason I can't get a slide and barrel.
