Yes, I know that but they require a US Export licence under the ITAR regs, so getting anything like that from the States is not easy.

Not to mention the difficulty these days of getting the mortgage needed to pay for Warners.

Are 'iron' sights really subject to export restrictions? Are they somehow classified as 'optics' despite not being 'optical'?

I've purchased other sights due to the cost of Warner sights but I would have spent far less if I just bit the bullet got a Warner first!

Call them about ITAR regs, you might be suprised.

I've already tried; so far haven't found anybody willing to export them.
