Im pretty sure WA2000 is banned by prohibition order since its a bullpup...all the old bullpups are banned post 1997 arent
Anyway, you could've just import as uncontrolled firearm with high enough to satisify causing bodily harm.

UPDATE!!!!

So great news, this beast of a gun will be spring cocking. What does that mean? Ill be having a quality year-round sniper rifle to play with

forgot to add, that despite this piece of good news, given Ares reputation, we had best wait for reviews to come out along with upgrades from reputable companies (i.e.: PDI). the plus side to this is the fact that should this gun turn out to be worth buying, its going for $500 usd. While this will equate a $800-$1000 price tag here, its still better than their ridiculously overpriced gas rifles like the Cheytac and that German DMR or w.e its called.

ARES Cheytac and DSR sniper rifles are expensive, yes, but "overpriced"? By what lofty standards? Say what you want about their gas internals, but quality CNC'd full aluminum external ain't exactly cheap.

In that case, start cutting spending on things like food and you'll get there eventually. Remember that a meal only lasts you until the next meal, but a sniper rifle is like, almost forever.

so i gotta ask, what are the odds that they will make an AEG version of this? i seriously think they will make a gas version as well, at least that is what i got from Redwolf info. your thoughts?

true. like you said, i cant imagine them fitting a mechbox in there. well no worries. i like the fact that its a spring. ill definitely consider picking one up if the reviews are good and overlook the inability to do semi-auto.

If it's spring powered that only increases the likelihood of me buying it. Thanks for the update Donster, you owe me a new bathrobe, I've gone and ruined this one.

well id give you mine, but i ruined it as well when i found out that they were making a spring version of this gun. Like i said, this literally screwed up my entire airsoft plan. If it was gas, i wouldn't touch it, but now... this changes everything

its a blessing and a curse

1900$ us ))

easy for my make same...........

The rifle was produced from the late 1970s through November 1988 when production was stopped due to high production costs. The final retail cost for a base rifle in 1988 was in the range of $9,000 to $12,500.

Of the 176 units that were produced, only 34 were exported to the U.S., 11 of which are owned by Earl J. Sheehan Jr., President of Walther USA[1]. Due to its rarity the WA 2000 can be worth over $75,000 to $80,000 in the open market. )))

Not all bullpups are prohibited. If thats the case then how come the Tavor or PS90 are legal to own and import?
