This may be old news, but apparently the BATF has dropped its opposition
to importation of Italian replicas of old West lever actions that were
purportedly banned under the crime bill due to the fact that they
had capacities exceeding 10 rounds of centerfire.

Apparently the BATF has decided that the high capacity feeding device
ban was intended to apply only to semiauto firearms.
