    I will be travelling to SA from the UK in July to hunt in the Limpopo Province .Can anyone tell me if I will be allowed to use a sound moderator on my rifle ? I have been told by a friend he has heard of people having their Sound Mods confiscated by customs in SA.

    We have no license for them, they are sold in all gun shops. Everyone that I know of has at least one, three for me. If Customs is picking them up they have no clue, but then that would be no surprise.
