A good friend of mine moved to Texas from Ontario.  The ATF flatly
refused to allow him to import his Garand, his SKS, or his
(7.62 NATO) Lee-Enfield.

You can purchase these firearms in the US (albeit HUGELY inflated
prices over what you pay for them here) but they can not be
imported (according to the ATF).
