International Military Antiques, Inc observes all Federal, State
and Local laws. Everything for sale on ima-usa.com is completely
legal to own, trade, transport and sell within the United States
of America. Every musket, rifle, display machinegun, machine gun
parts set and gun sold by IMA, Inc is engineered to be inoperable
according to guidelines provided by the US Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (BATF). Title 18, U.S. Code,
Section 921(a)(16) defines antique firearms as all guns
manufactured prior to 1899. This law exempts antique firearms from
any form of gun control or special engineering. However, IMA
considers all of our antique guns as non-firing. Gun magazine laws,
concealed weapons laws, laws governing new made display guns,
airsoft guns and other items vary greatly by Nation, State and
Locality. IMA works diligently to be aware of these ever changing
laws and obeys them accordingly. However, it is ultimately the
responsibility of the buyer to be in compliance of laws that govern
their specific location. Please see our
legal page
for more detailed information.
