    By the way, according to RMs own rules, its allowed:

    Guns for sporting use:
    International - Allowed in the mail, see restrictions and packaging guidelines below:
    Guns intended for sporting purposes - including Section 1 and Section 2 firearms, low-powered air guns and their component parts - may be sent in compliance with UK law and subject to applicable export controls on the shipment of firearms.
    Items that appear to be prohibited weapons may be subject to additional checks and delays.
    Guns must not be loaded.
    Air weapons with an integral gas cylinder that are de-pressurised can only be accepted. Air weapons with gas cylinders that are pressurised are prohibited
    Air weapons with a pressurised removable gas cylinder which is still attached are prohibited
    Sender's name and address must be visible on the parcel.
    Must be packed in rigid outer packaging suitable for the gun size and weight, for example a fibreboard box, with sufficient inner packaging to prevent movement during transport.

    Thanks for the Cheshire gunroom tip btw. Ive mailed them too. Curious what they say

    EU parcel

    Very valid question . Nearing me retirement I thought to post one of my last rarer Titans away to France .
    As a guy from your neck of the woods ( no offence implied to you Yana ) seems actively buying similar from members here with apparent ease and zero difficulty , I naturally asked him how as I wanted to arrange a parcel .
    Of vital importance is what specific service can be used which I asked .
    He said he did not know , could not remember as he did not have the box with carrier delivery label and when I politely asked if he would ask his UK mate who handles all his posting from the UK , he would not help stating " I cannot help you any further " ????.
    He then went silent ignoring my last message ??? Very Nice !
    Yana - how does the phrase " Pi-- Poor " translate into Dutch ?
    I certainly would not try sending one my rare Titans or anything for that matter to Holland now , but people are obviously still doing so .
