I believe your chain is being yanked by MarStar. Once you get ALL your paper work all done, form six, customs paperwork etc., the "parts vanish out of stock".

If you read some of my earlier posts, you will see that you'll get the run-around from the ATF if you try to import PARTS with a FORM 6.

They treated the issue as if I was trying to import a firearm, and needed the serial number of the gun on the paperwork.
I made it clear that I was trying to purchase a handful of parts, and NOT the right sideplate, and NOT a firearm.
The back and forth continued for months.
I still have all the papers. Either the guy I was dealing with was a complete moron, or was proactively trying every road-block to stop me from buying old parts. |

I had no problems with the ATF in fact they were quite helpful.
The approval took a while though. If I remember correctly it was about three months.
MarStar was also very helpful on the phone as far as part #'s and paperwork. But in the end they claimed to be completely out of stock on all M2HB parts.
I went as far as posting a $100 challenge to anyone not a dealer/importer who could prove actually getting any .50 parts from them into this counrty. After about a year nobody claimed the prize so it was withdrawn.

| Now that you mention it, I've never heard of anyone getting any part of an M2HB from MarStar, in the years I've been messin with these guns. |

I successfully purchased and imported, from Marstar, 4 M2 heavy barrels on an approved form 6 back in 2003 0r 2004...can't remember. They were $127 plus $30 shipping a piece. They sent me a NOS stellite in the batch...still in the cosmo and paper wrap. The other 3 were used steel barrels in very nice shape. This was before I was a dealer and the barrels were for personal use with my semi M2.

I guess this proves there is an exception to every rule!
