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.

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

I'm pretty sure that the G3A3 - which is a registered "converted"
full automatic, won't be allowed across the border.

My understanding is that problems may arise to due import restrictions.

I had heard of one gent, who, when he moved to North Carolina from
Ontario, had to leave behind a Garand and some ex-military bolt
action rifles when going across the border.

Thanks for your post!

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).
