Bugger...

Ah, well. Thanks for the info, Porcupine. Appreciate it.

Well, at least I'll be able to buy and bring back cartridge cases and heads for reloading.

Excuse me while I sulk for a bit. :cool2:

Tower. it is easily done. Head over to the other place for a look. Don't give up so easily man :lol:

Mike357, you are being so diplomatic!
Absolutely fine to mention the forum by name just avoid the link is all...

airgunbbs by any chance?

Mike if you could PM me a link to this thread I'd be interested. When I first moved to the US I did a lot of research and talked to the ATF but I still had to wait 90 days before I could buy a gun. Be interesting to see if there was really a way around that.

No you won't.

Sam - It's far easier. Sent the details to your FEO and explain you are being given a rifle. They will add the details to your ticket and you bring the rifle back with you (you'll need to fill in a very simple DSP 83 form in USA that you can download). No need to involve an RFD. I've done lots of direct personal imports and have never had a problem. If it's new you will have to declare it and pay VAT and UK Customs Duty.

None of that negates what Porcupine said. My best mate was at Bristows in Florida for two years. We looked hard at me at getting guns out when I was over there. We could not find a legal way, except, through a dealer with an export licence.

And, I have previously brought guns back from the US in the mid 90s....
