The UK's Finest Independent Forum for Shooters and Gun Owners. Est 2010.

Some may have noticed that I have recently been trying to sell some gear to raise some cash - sadly not for spending on shooting.
I currently have a range finder on ebay and was contacted by a prospective buyer asking if I would post to the Ukraine?

I decided that I didn't want to become embroyled in any conflict or have a knock at the door so politely replied that i did not think that our postal service would be able to get it to them due to the conflict and that I did not wish to fall foul of the UK authorities.

He replied saying ok but that he was a volunter fighter and it would have been safe to send it.

It all raises a number of questions but I wondered what the forum thoughts were?

Why take the risk? Almost certainly other buyers out there.

If in doubt - don't!

Anyone can say anything - and it just could have been a "try on".

Always ask yourself: "What sort of headline could a tabloid write about this?"

Volunteer ? Terrorist ? Depends on who you talk to.

Not worth it.

Can't fault you on this. I'd have taken the same stance.

I would have to check however I have a feeling it would have required and export licence.

I'd speak with the government.

Their principles, integrity, morals are all for sale so no reason why their ethics shouldn't be as well.

I had a similar experience, it's just not worth the risk.

I reckon the place should be carpet bombed
