Weigand rail for S & W mod. 19.
I need a Weigand rail for a S & W mod. 19. I am travelling to the USA later in the month, however, if I read the ITAR regulations correctly it would be illegal for me to bring one back. Does anyone in South Africa stock them? Or, would it be legal for a visiting hunter to bring one in, if he brings a gun to hunt with?

Why illegal? It's surely not prohibited on list of military items? I am really struggling to bring one in for a GP100 6". Tried to send it to US address where a colleague of mine is visiting but Weigand would not send it. Referred me to other sites listed on their homepage.

At $35 it's well within the $100 exception limit and is not an explicitly prohibited item requiring its own export certificate, as per 22 CFR 123.17(a)1
There are no stupid questions ........ just stupid people

I bought one from Brownells years ago and it was sent to me no problem.

Weigand would not send to US postal address I provided cause i hav friend visiting there now. Would not do it because i am from SA. But he did refer me to Brownells and Mountplus websites. I have now tried to order from Mountplus. I really want to take the handgun hunting interest further without drilling holes for a scope.

Update...
So I ordered from Mountplus for delivery in Ohio. Unfortunately it would take them 3 to 4 weeks to source the scope and mounts. So I asked if they could post it to S.A.. Yes they will but shipping is $57. So I am going ahead with this transaction as I really want it!

Shipping is usually the bitch. One often then understands why local retail items seem to cost so much.

Re: Weigand rail for S & W mod. 19.
Well the rail and mounts arrived last week. Total cost with shipping was R1925 plus another R264 customs duty I had to pay at post office. At least i got it. Now i got to find a handgun scope before next hunting season. Right now I got another firearm purchase in the works.
