It looks like I will have a couple of guns to ship over from the USA.

To dilute the admin/overhead costs of doing so I am look for others to include guns in the shipment.

Anyone want to bring something over?

I'd be interested in seeing how much extra it could cost on top of the rifle to transport something over from the US. I believed the easiest way to do it was to use the free slot on your FAC as an import license. I've known members of my club to do it with blackpowder revolvers and such which was very easy as they aren't classed as firearms in the states and thus he didn't need authority to purchase them

It is not easy or cheap but if you need to and dilute the cost with more than one gun it is reasonable

NOW he tells me!, I was lusting after a mint, unfired Madsen M47 from California about 6 months ago, but the shipping costs were way more than the cost of the rifle, so I passed on it.
Oh well............
