I've seen items on eGun.de that I'd like to buy that aren't restricted in the US, like barrels and bolt heads, but they appear to be subject to EWB. These parts are unrestricted in the US, meaning they can be freely and legally sent via ordinary mail / package carriers without any special requirements, so there are no legal difficulties at this end.

As I don't speak / write German and am forced to use Google Translate to view the auctions, I hesitate to write the sellers for an explanation of the proper EWB process.
Sorry for the late reply, I was very busy these last weeks.

All products that are labeled as EWB are restricted items that can only be purchased with a valid German firearm permit. This includes bolts, bolt heads (if removable from bolt carrier), barrels and since Sept. 2020 also the action itself. The only remaining parts which can freely be purchased are magazines, triggers and stocks (w/out action).
There are firearm exporters that will purchase the items and then take care of the paperwork for you, but given imports tariffs outside of the EU and freight costs it'll be quite expensive and probably not really worthwhile, unless it's an amazing deal on something you won't find anywhere else.

I will be getting a grade 10 stock for a Blaser R8 in the next weeks, which are free to ship anywhere. Just let me know if you're interested.

Thank you for the excellent explanation. I was afraid that was the case, as the bureaucrats never make our lives any easier, do they?
