Hi Jim, it's all very easy, if you can find a like minded person in the States you can bring in AOs into UK with no problem, but you must state on Customs form that it is an Antique Curio sec 58.2, with no 38 centre fires or alike getting through as they do, Customs open most packets from the US to UK, most days of the week Customs in UK pick up modern firearms like ppks etc, they don't make it to the new owner & are destroyed, so be mindfull, as for sending AOs to the States it's a nightmare, ATF do not want them.Originally Posted by Jim McArthur
Some very nice guns there, Glynn: too bad I'm not in the neighborhood, I could give you some business!
And speaking of which - you'd be the one to ask - is there any restriction on private sales of antique guns between the US and the UK (assuming they're "exempt antiques" under both country's laws, of course)?

But I do have some very good contacts in PA & TX this works very well as I have been dealing with some of them for over 15 years. I should think you being on the otherside of the pond have a great chance of finding SAA & Smoots at fairly good prices at these gun shows you do over there. Take a look at the AuctionArms.com they have loads of great AO deals & it's all in the USA lots of Private & Trade sales.
ATB, Glynn.
