Thanks Ripp,

Have spoken to Defence (36 phone call) for a DSP-61. No luck, will not give me one, they said back to ATF.

Finally got it escalated within ATF after 15 phone calls and a dozen email with responses copied and pasted from their website. 7 phone calls with the Justice Department and they responded that they have no precedent.
They said speak to Customs & Border protection at LAX where I started with…

Spoke to a lovely lass their and she said as long as you have your 6N1A, US hunting permit and all numbers match should be fine. SHOULD be fine!!! Scares me. Well I will take my firearm and all the paperwork and emails. Hopefully at worse they only take the firearm but let me continue on my journey.

Very sad state of affairs.
