how do i import a gun?

[Paddy Galore!]

Hi chaps!

just wondering how to get hold of the new benelli M4?

it's widely available in the states, but when i rang GMK they told me that they don't import them over "here".

Does anyone know how i'd go about it?

thanks,

gram.

I dont think Benelli make a UK legal barrel length ?

 

I handled one in Germany earlier this month at the Bayern Cup, its a nice gun but unlike the other inertia driven Benelli's its gas operated & so the longer barrels from an M2 will not fit.

 

Im not sure it gives you any advantage over the M2 to be honest.

thanks neil, the only advantage i can see is that it's gas operated, i had an M3 not so long back that cost me plenty to get running right, luckily it was a pump action/semi auto, the inertia system in my view is the problem. I think i'm right in saying that the civilian version of the M4 is called the ARGO?

Hi Gram,

 

I thought about this when I was in the states, With a little bit of time on the tinterweb I found a guy who may have the answers, his company name is gunrunner maybe he can help.

Thanks daz, i'll make some inquiries, the only problem i can forsee is something neil mentioned, the barrels on the american guns are only 19"

it's worth asking tho, cheers!

gram,theres a guy in ahsford (not to far from you!) he runs an outfit called by his name kirk emmerich,he gets together orders in the states then ships the lot over. during the pistol days i were easy,wed go to a shop in florida buy a pistol put 50 rounds through it,it were then classed second hand,then wed get an export licence job done,saved £300 diffrent these days. see wat hes says,if u really get stuck call pete starley who runs midway hes in warickshire i think. gmk have the consecession on new benellis but not second hand i.e. only just second hand,50 shots though it. good luck.

That's what i really like about this site.

Even if it's looking like a piped dream at the moment, it's nice to hear other peoples advice.

As others have said. I don't think they make an M4 that has a barell length that is legal in the uk
