Thanks for all the replies. I have about 4 (sub) 12fpe rifles I want to get over to Spain - and leave them there permanently. I will be taking a van over early next year loaded with furniture, motorbike, tools, etc. and thought that it would be a good opportunity to get the airguns moved, too. Unless I can get some paperwork to get them through France it looks like I'm knackered on that idea. Back to the courier (expensive and dodgy) or British Airways (expensive and inconvenient) options. Unless I take the ferry direct to Santander, but that's a very expensive crossing, a very boring 24 hours on the boat and irregular sailing times.
