did 2011 ATF ruling re: PGs = sporting relax import restrictions?

[man-at-arms 2]

Sorry for the lazy question, I'm posting on my phone from work and can't do any research. Am I wrong that the thumbhole Veprs I'm seeing are only a recent phenomenon?

 

I'm hoping to see 'true' format Saiga rifles imported, considering that, ironically, the 1994 CB definition of an "assault rifle" excludes the most ubiquitous AK47: wood stock, pistol grip, no FH, no bbl threads, accepts hi-cap box mag, no bayo lug.

 

Or even s12s. PG shotguns are now "sporting."

 

Thanks bros

no, i don't believe true saigas will ever be imported because i believe there is a seperate import treaty with the russians that prohibits it, that's why the tigr rifles and russian sks that would otherwise be importable are not
