Importing a rifle from EU?

I thought I’d pick some opinions on here but I imagine it’s probably too expensive / too much hassle to be practical.

 

I’ve seen a rifle I’m tempted by but it’s in Europe. How easy is it to RFD/import from abroad? I imagine it’s a complete faff and likely worse since brexit but thought it was worth asking?

 

It’s from one gun shop to another but I assume it’s not a case of £25 RFD at each end!

 

 

Thanks!

Probably not quite as simple as was, though it looks a similar process if the bit about ,'non-commercial 18-22 etc' fits your situation.

Biggest huddle will be finding a EU dealer who understands their system and is willing to do the paperwork to export. 

Always worth chatting with your FLO manager, they've probably had this query before.

As ever do your research and at least triple check what you're told.

Just had a brief read of the regs for importing firearms and as you say it looks a bit of a hassle……https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/983345/Notice_to_importers_2944_-_firearms_and_ammunition.pdf

also seen this, might be worth contacting them to see what's involved and cost...https://londonguncompany.co.uk/service/gun-import-export/

Cheers guys, appreciate the links as well! It’s a CZ model that wasn’t run in big numbers over here and as usual, they’ve change to new models fairly quickly - nothing going second hand. It’s probably not worth it in truth.

I always feel bad asking dealers about RFDs when they’ve got loads of options on shelf gathering dust but I guess that’s just the way of it I suppose.

 

Thanks again!
