Importing UK guns?

[huntingfish]

I've been watching a bit of TGS Outdoors videos lately and he always mentions that this or that gun can be had for a few pounds...

Has anyone ever imported a gun from the UK? What's that process like in terms of fees and forms to fill out?

Cheers!

David

I dont think there are too many bargains in the UK for shotguns, current models tend to be substantially more expensive than here. Why dont you have a look at Tradex? they import from Sweden, and their prices are very reasonable.

It’s simple you pay a licensed importer to do it and then you weight for your gun .

1 pound sterling is $1.73 Canadian peso's.... not many cheap guns in the UK when you do the exchange.

Even allowing exchange rate, there are apparently some bargains on AyA shotguns in Britain, but the added brokerage and freight of some hundreds of Pounds Sterling is a deal killer.

Oh well, it was worth investigating nonetheless!

Thanks everyone!
