I'm going to be heading back to the UK to do some deer hunting with my friends in the UK.
I want to bring my own firearm this time and not have to borrow one.
My friend knows how to get from the UK to here with a firearm but not the other way around.
What do I need to have filled out or filed and with whom?
 
I’ve done it a couple of times but my buddy is with Holland & Holland and they handled the permits.
 
Very straightforward your uk friends can get the visitors import paperwork via their local police force online. Cost around £20
 
Thats cool!
Thanks for the info guys.
 
As above, your friend applies for a visitor permit. Very straight forward and painless.

Is this rifle sold? If not what is the weight of it and do you know if there is enough difference in diameter between the 35W and the 9.3 to allow for a rebore to a 9.3x62 which is what I am after?
Thanks,
Gary (Just down the road in Springfield)

Forgive me if this is the incorrect area, I signed up to this forum just now because I wanted to be on the list to purchase a copy of your autobiography. Please feel free to pass my information along to whomever is selling. Thank you so much. I look forward to it!
I like the Tillie in my picture. They are supposed to fit loose (2 fingers inside hat band), have mesh for cooling, and hold their shape after washing.
