Importing firearms

[mangy1983 51]

Does anyone have any experience in this as sometimes when l look at U.S. gun sites and see the multitude of guns on offer l often wonder about buying from there and importing. Just to clarify if a person were to have the correct calibre on their certificates and were fully fledged U.K. citizens. There really is next to nothing on the internet on this.

My boss (the estate owner) she's a RFD and they're bringing guns back and forth to and from the state's all the time with very little hassle apparently. The only thing is that most people aren't RFD's so doubt that this is of much help at all lol. Unless you try to become an RFD if your wanting to be importing/exporting guns frequently. Cheers, atb.

Thanks for the info cunninghamb, from what l have read on U.S. auction sites such as GunBroker it looks like a right minefield of costs, regulations and paperwork.

No worries, did think that would be the case
