Presidential Order 13662 - AK Imports Ban:

President Obama of USA has issued Executive Order 13662 that prohibits business dealings with an array of Russian concerns. - this is a reaction to the situation in the Ukraine and the destruction of Malaysian Flight MH17 with the tragic loss of all on-board.

The order specifically includes Kalashnikov Concern (Ishmash, Saiga etc.)

 

American dealers are already reporting increased demand for these products, but some are already claiming they have sold-out.

 

It would be any-ones guess as to how this will affect our local sales or around the world. Depending on the length of this US ban it may well reduce prices and increase availability elsewhere.

 

Here in New Zealand many AK and AR clones are imported from China (and Canada) and may well be totally unaffected. - Trouble is that these kinds of political moves have a habit of spreading like a rash.
