    These are such nice rifles; everything is brass even the barrel spacer. Dead accurate and the easiest pumper I have to pump. And very quiet.

    I agree. It's very easy to pump, much easier than my Blue Streak and 140. And a lot quieter indeed. The Blue Streak is more powerful though, and I can use it for plinking with 2 or 3 pumps, whereas I've found that the T&C needs at least 6. But those are 6 easy pumps. It's very accurate and well balanced and the trigger is great. They sure knew what they were doing when they designed the T&C! It had to compete with the Sheridan Super Grade. I saw a Super Grade got sold for silly money the other day on Gunbroker. I'd love to buy one one day, but they are above my budget atm...

    Good morning, there's a company in California called Airgun Exporter, which is run by a Dutch man called Vincent van Gerven.
    If you want I can pm you his contact details. I buy something on Fleabay, have it sent to Vincent, and then Vincent sends it to Europe and takes care of all the paperwork.
    I live in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, but my parcels go to Belgium, as apparently customs are better in Belgium. At Schiphol Airport they sometimes stay for "inspection" for months. This Belgium way has worked very well so far. I've used both UPS and USPS. USPS is much cheaper and it was actually quicker and easier too.
    Vincent might know about possibilities to send to the UK. I'm sure it's legal, it's just a question of whether the customs officials know the law and what they have in their hands.
    Cheers

    Don't get your hopes up, as they no longer ship to GB

    No reason why a sub 12 fpe air rifle cannot be sent to you in the UK from the states. I've had complete crosman air rifles (pumpers- 1377s and 2289s) sent in the past from the USA and Canada, one off fleabay, also parts including barrels etc all sent to me direct. Seller would simply label what was in the parcel or "sub 12ftlbs UK legal airgun" and only ever had one stopped and checked by customs, a 1377, which was let through after a little delay. Why are there issues now?

    Curious if Vincent imports European airguns for sale in the US?

    The problem is not so much getting them sent but it is our customs when they get here. l bought 4 air pistols from the USA a few years ago all got through apart from one a prewar Webley. and the trouble l had getting it through with them wanting written proof of the energy it was doing. after that l didn't buy anymore from the USA. l belive it is worse now.

    It will be interesting to see the power of your new T&C when you get it sealed. I find mine to be more powerful than you are describing. 3 pumps for plinking?
