I sent a rifle and a shotgun to a mate in the Republic about 5 years ago and it was a bit of a nightmare!

You need an RFD with an export licence and the person receiving has to apply for his certificates for the gun/s before they enter Ireland. Cost over 100 quid with fees and shipping.
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Guns dont kill people. Dads with pretty Daughters do...!
