Default Demil certificate in the US?

Any way to get a demil cert in the US for a cut up gun going to Italy? Maybe the local police dept? Looks like the Sexton is staying in the US, but two very serious inquirees in Europe too. Jesse.

Also this one:

An armed Priest walked into a bar.
The bartender insists that he gives up his weapon.
What did the barfly in the corner call the Priest?

Jesse

I never had a demill cert for the 75mm Pack Howitzer I exported from the USA a few years ago.

However I did have to get an ITAR licence to export it.

For shipping and import into the UK, I had to treat it as a Section 1 firearm (live barrel, though with no breech considered demilled in the USA, whereas it was not considered demilled in the UK).

You may find it easier to pay a specialist vehicle shipper than go through the hassle yourself... especially if in Italy the US Demilling is not considered sufficient... you would not want to have it refused entry in Italy and shipped back to the USA at your cost.

There are a few companies advertising their services on Milweb, though I personally have no experience with any of them.

Tim

Good idea. Half the barrel is fake. The breech and block are fake. I don’t really understand what they want, and am not able to do any of the preparation anyway. I climbed in the other day to take a picture for a buyer and ended up falling down and getting hurt. My armor days are over.

A priest without arms could be a "None", perhaps?

Ok. I was embarrassed when someone presented this riddle to me and I didn’t get it. I thought it would be easy for guys on this forum. Maybe those who know the answer just don’t care to answer. The answer is “Kangaroo”.

Well, the thing is...... The M7 Priest when used as an unarmed APC was known as a defrocked Priest, the Kangaroo was based on the Ram.
