They can't come back as complete guns, so current practice is to strip
them, scrap the lowers and barrels and import the rest. Some kits for
sale had the auto sear and spring when they were first imported, those
were taken out with later kits. You do NOT want them unless you like
10 year vacations. Quality on those parts kits is the same as new
Colt-made parts of the same era. Barrels can no longer be imported.

Why were the barrels scrapped? Why can't barrels be imported?
