It sounds like most of the firearms will not be a problem. The two of
biggest concern would be the HK G3A3 and AK84S. I live in California and
a few months ago purchased an Armalite AR-15A2 so that one is not a
problem. Personally I have no idea of what is required of the government
work for the move. Just wanted to let you know that the firearms
shouldn't be a major problem but some will have to be registered. All
handguns coming into California have to be registered and the AK84S
might even be OK but it will have to be registered.

That's the right way to do it.

Not sure about this one. I checked a couple of documents regaurding the
banned firearms and didn't come up with anything that specifically
stated teh G3A3. One of the documents is attached.

Since this would be importing into the USA it just might not happen.

These are not a problem.

This is not problem. Even in California.

# 

This are not a problem.

# And then, the miscellaneous: what about bringing

# ammunition and reloading supplies.

I don't see a problem here. All of this are for sale in the USA.
