How does ITAR play into this? Just wondering...

Old pic, but after really looking at it I am surprised that they were permitted to export those products... I thought I remember reading on the reg card or something that they were not permitted to be sold outside of CONUS. I think he needs a bigger light too...:D

ITAR only says you have to get an export permit.

And someone at the embassy here could easily buy them off the street at any dealers store and then shipped them home in the embassy diplomatic pouch.

That would mean that a lot of news agencies are using a 'shopped image.

While manipulated pictures have certainly made it into the media before, I don't see what motivation there would be in this case.

I think it's legit ;)

This. Assuming they are real Magpul products, it is possible that one of our dealers/distributors obtained an export permit for the products and legally exported them. It is also possible that someone walked into a gun shop, purchased the products, and shipped/carried them to Russia. Either way, I can guarantee they did not come directly from Magpul.

Makes me miss Putin man. Now that man knew how to rock a rifle, without even needing the beard. Sometimes at night I still have nightmares of Putin coming for me. The CQB battle through the hallways. All the way down to the knife fight and judo flippin like he did those rus boys.


Medvedev just doesn't do that. Even if he is rocking one of the sexiest AK i've ever seen a president touch. :p
