MUSKOGEE — A man who Oklahoma prosecutors say illegally mailed gun parts in a packaged labeled to indicate it had a toy display inside has pleaded guilty to making a false customs declaration.


The U.S. Attorney's Office said Monday that 41-year-old James Edward Wages of Glendale, Ariz., had mailed a sniper rifle barrel, a Marine Corps technical manual and other weaponry. Investigators say the package was labeled to show it contained an “Airsoft Toys Display.”

Sentencing is pending. Wages faces up to five years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

Prosecutors say Wages made a false claim on a customs declaration with the Postal Service.

I wonder what weaponry was mailed, because the other stuff is legal to mail.

 

[Johnny]

I think he is in trouble because of the false documentation.

 

[RKM]

I wonder what their definition of a "sniper rifle barrel" is? Or did they come up with that phrase to make it more sinister?

I think they're just trying to run with anything they can right now.

 

[XD-9Guy]

Why lie? I don't get it?

 

[Old Fart]

What I've learned from this so far is be sure and describe what you are mailing in the most evil and sinister fashion imaginable.

 

[Johnny]

Its probably WWII memorabilia.

Remember kids, don't reuse you son's airsoft box to mail your gun parts in...

I'd like to know what was in the box. perfectly legal to mail parts. Unless there was a registered receiver. You can mail complete guns if they fit in the right categories.

(possible that it went via USPS, instead of the favorite brown santa?) That might be where the issue lies...
