I was thinking about buying an SLP. However, several of the dealers CDNN have been saying these guns are now banned from importation. Is this true?
Yes, as I understand this specific situation.sfmittels said:If I interpret 'Rat-30's comments correctly, the reason the whole "SLP banned" issue came about is because some SLP Mk 1s made it into the USA with the factory 8-round magazine installed, which somehow made them not kosher. Now, they are being imported with a 5-round factory magazine, which somehow makes them kosher for import. Then, after they are received by FNH-USA, the 5-round magazine is removed and replaced with the 8-round magazine, which puts them back to the original factory configuration that was not kosher in the first place. Except now it's OK because the magazine conversion took place at a US factory.
Do I have this right?
Yes, you have it exactly right.. as per the FN rep I discussed this with last year. The FN SLP as sold in the states with 8 round mag is indeed banned if it's a complete gun imported in this form. The mag extensions are made in the USA now. Regardless if McInsane or Obamanation get in next year (only a miracle can save us now) all these goodies are going to be banned, so get 'em, nowIf I interpret 'Rat-30's comments correctly, the reason the whole "SLP banned" issue came about is because some SLP Mk 1s made it into the USA with the factory 8-round magazine installed, which somehow made them not kosher.

You're wrong about McInsane.. he is a gun banner and has signed off on semi auto bans in the past. I've been a 2nd activist for over 20 years, watched what he has done and I tell you he's a rat., not to mention what Gun Owners of America has to say about him, they give him an F-.. you really can't get a worse rating from GOA :usmcss77 said:Boys, stocking up is a good idea, as I have been doing it for some time now. But realistically the one to worry about is that muslim rat Obama and the rest of his leftist cronies. Remeber that McCain is a Vietnam POW/Vet and will not sell out this country(I hope)If the **** hits the fan then matters will have to taken into the hands of the armed militia of the USA as history always has a bad habit of repeating itself...oorah :-x
