theorangeplanet 968 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Russian rifles aren't banned. From what I understand, Russian government owned or supported companies are under sanctions and prevented from doing business with US based companies. This apparently includes the Kalashnikov Concern group. However, other companies such as Molot, which produces the Vepr line of rifles/shotguns, did not fall under sanctions. I'm not sure why, because as Molot also produces weapons for the Russian military I'm sure they receive their fair share of subsidies. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gunfun 3,931 Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 They just called out some specific names. It isn't about the war, that was just an excuse to hurt the importers here. They named popular stuff. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
