Eurotunnel with sub 12ft/lbs air rifle

Let us know how it went.

Where are you going after that?

If directed at me then it'll be a one way trip to France hopefully for good

Thanks for the further info/reassurance folks, not dreading it now!

I suppose after Brexit we won't be able to have a European Firearms Permit, a document which was introduced a decade or so ago to solve most of these problems. Oh silly me I forgot, the Government won't let us have EFPs for sub 12 fpe air rifles, in case the entire nation decides to apply and the licensing authorities become swamped.

Bit risky

All went very smoothly I have to say.

I declared it right at the start and got my blue sticker, then told passport control who notified security/customs.
They asked me to go into a certain search bay and came and had a chat! First guy who was a bit younger didn't realise it was a sub 12ft so asked his mate to help out. So he asked whether it was 'one of those high power ones' and when I said no, I just thought I should declare it to save a panic, he thanked me and then said he had no need to even look in the car!

Easy peasy

Thanks for the info. Glad it went well.
