I did get a 34 butt without any problem years ago.
Even if it is, I believe 100% legal, probably best to make sure the seller does not write "Machinegeweh" or anything of the sort on the postal declaration ... I had a very time & efforts consuming nightmare recovering a WWII German sword stopped by HM Customs which was 100% legal, so in the "current climate" no need to attract undue attention & generate problems for yourself ...

You should be fine as I have bought AK and Dragunov stocks etc from Europe and Russia with no problems, I also had three deactivated grenades through the post from Europe.

No problem at all, as long as you are not shipping in or out pressure baring restricted parts (also firearm magazines are restricted in some countries), just get them to mark the customs declaration as "Wood furniture with metal fixings" ....a completely accurate description.

I have sent L1A1 wood furniture sets to the States, Canada and Europe using that declaration, never any issues.
