UPDATE:
Well, as I feared and some said here, it's not going to happen. As I said before, the President said it could be purchased on letterhead and I even spoke to an armorer today and he thought I could also.
But I actually got to speak to their LE guy today and he confirmed it for me. The problem lies in the fact that they aren't making a semi version. So all the select-fire rifles are held under the Assault Rifle import ban. I never wanted a select fire anyway, but was lead to believe the semi would be available. I definately wasn't interested in the federal hoops and one time tax stamp that's involved with auto weapons. I'm also not going to buy a rifle with my personal money and then have to turn it into the department when I retire.
Anyway, I wanted to update the thread. I'm actually looking into LWRC rifles to actually get a piston rifle. Thanks jbour13 for the LWRC link!!
