Legality of exporting a moderator

[tinbum]

I would suggest buying from Germany. No customs issues and mail order of moderators is allowed

That's not the problem, Krale for one is a good shop to get moderators, but I'm specifically looking for an Air Arms slip on moderator for 9/16 barrels from the late 80's/early 90's.

And that's a hard item to find in a web shop.

For air rifles in the UK no licence required, they are just a tube. There are no UK Laws regarding air rifle moderators. As for export of an air rifle moderator then local laws may apply, so that is Sweden.

So what do you write on the customs export paperwork ?
Because anything other than "airgun moderator" is a lie, & while legal to post in the UK they are not legal in international post.

Until I see something to the contrary in writing, I assume an airgun mod is covered by the same laws as sub 12 airguns, which still come under UK firearms law.

Well, as I said it's a local issue, not UK; so really for the recipient to comply with their laws. Frankly, they are just a tube for air to expand in, in a controlled way, so call it an air expansion chamber.

Pleased to be corrected but are there any UK airgun moderator laws written? Did anyone think writing anything up? FAC different story, but FAC only becomes so when fitted to a FAC rifle.

NO it is a UK issue if you are exporting it, because any parcel sent overseas requires a customs export declaration by the sender

So answer the question.

I did, call it what it is: a gas expansion chamber.
