If you have personally imported a firearm into the UK....

Can I ask you a couple of questions please (on PM)?

I'm looking for someone who did the import themselves, not via an importer.

Thanks!

Yeah go on then.

I did it a few years back. I had an import licence then but don't bother now.
Get the paperwork sorted and it's nice and easy. However, exporting from the USA ain't so easy!

I did a personal import of a Shilen barrel a few years ago, this was before they clamped down with the ITAR business. Fairly straight forward in the paperwork is in order. Saved a considerable amount of £'s

Thanks for the reply, could I have a quick chat with one of you? I just need to clarify something.

PM me if that's ok and I can pm you my number or give you mine if you want to call me. Thanks!

I bought some rifles from private sellers in Germany who sent them to a German gun dealer who grouped them and posted them to a UK FAD. It was easy, a tad expensive but worthwhile concidering the prices of K98 in the UK...

Should have said from the us not eu

Sorry for hijacking but does anyone know of any online guides to doing this, either US/EU/global? Thanks

Brought an S1 shotgun in from Turkey years ago - had a space on the ticket so no worries there.

No import licence either as it was a perosnal purchase. Customs were OK with it - as were the police at the airport who were keen to chat guns 'n stuff.
