There's really no caliber restrictions written into the law down here, tho every once in a while they try to pass a law to that effect. They do have some administrative rulings banning importation of new semi-auto AR-15's, AK-47,s and other "assault-looking guns", so that limits legal availability of a lot of those cartridges (there not being a great demand because not many people legally own them).joshrunkle35 wrote:Legally, I would guess he can get any of the major/common pistol calibers and shotgun gauges we can, and some odd, special hunting/non military calibers in rifle like .22 wsm or .222.Dweezil wrote: Aren't you in Central America?

What limits caliber choices the most is practical availability. In that sense, .45 ACP is nearly a dead dog, as sadly the cartels seem to have taken a liking to the venerable 1911, thus they have hoarded the supply and driven prices up to around US$40.00 a box of 50, if it can be found. .22LR is plentiful, 9mm is plentiful, .38 spl is pletiful, .380ACP is not so plentiful, but available. I'd think the calibers you will find nearly everywhere here are .22LR, 9mm, .38spl, 12 gauge.
And I admit that since there are no SBR laws down here, the main idea of getting the Ruger Charger would have been to put a full rifle stock on it and internally thread it for my remaining .22LR suppressor (the older one was written off in an accident last week: Faulty .22 short round failed to exit suppressor, next round hit it, no external indicators, and final round of .22LR through it really messed the aluminium separate segments up.)

and they are not so easy to get where you are
