Brass and bullets are now on the OK to ship list from the US, made changes last year. I've bought both from Brownell's in the last year. Bought a scope out of Tract as well. I am not sure if the components are 100.00 or 500.00 max before a permit is needed by the vendor. I'd have to go back and look that up. There are a lot of parts we can get now though as well. Just that in a lot of cases, it isn't worth it with some of the pricing in the US, it's cheaper here. Although I am seeing some stupid stuff up here lately, some on bullets, one on primers the other day. Not sure where this will all settle out, but, components are not so reasonable as they once were. Glad I bought what I bought when I did over the years.
