What's the legality of sending a reamer from the US?

What's the legality of sending a reamer from the US?

Just looked up the code, there is currently no restrictions on chamber reamers exporting from the US. Best bet is to see if an American company like PTG is willing to ship internationally. As long as they don’t falsely claim it’s a gun part or accessory (because it’s not, it’s a glorified drill bit, I believe the proper export term is something like “engineering reamer” or something like that) then customs has no jurisdiction with current laws.

I wouldn’t rent the reamer from another country though, rentals are usually by the day or week, and if it gets stuck in customs it could get more expensive than just owning the reamer.

Edit to add: this is just for US export, OP would need to look up the laws for South Africa to make sure they’re legal to import.

I have been getting reamers from PTG (Pacific Tool & Gauge) shipped to Australia no problems. Generally tooling is much easier to import than gun parts.
PTG are generally 2/3 the cost of other suppliers for a custom reamer, but probably take 2X the leadtime to deliver. Quality is very good.
Not sure if Brownells or Clymer would have 6.5X68S on the shelf.

Young South African farmers are farming through the H2A visa system in the USA..they will be bringing the reamer to SA.
