These Russian / Romanian Flare Launchers are importable into the country because of their civilian intended use as a signal launcher. The quality in this makes it far better built than any surplus unit ever made. This model is a 26.5 mm (4 gauge) launcher with a 6\" barrel. This flare launcher requires NO licenses as the BATFE Tech Branch has reviewed and designated this a nonweapon and not a firearm as long as it is used as intended. This unit is designed to be a life-saving signaling device, for flares and smoke rounds only! Don\'t hesitate to own something truly unique! Does NOT come with any flares!
