Importing rifles from the Continent

[SLG]

I know I've read on here about how some of you have bought rifles from other countries. A friend of mine wants to bring his grandfather's rifles over to the U.S. from Germany. Any suggestions on the easiest way to accomplish that? He "owns" them already, just needs to bring them into the U.S. legally. Thanks very much.

is his grandfather still around? 2 ways to skin a cat...

 

[SLG]

Unfortunately no.

When you say he owns them, are they on a German WBK in his name?

 

[SLG]

I don't know but can find out.

 

[SLG]

They are not. They are being held for him by a friend of the family.

Well, that would complicate the idea of a German vacation and return with them in your baggage. My next recommendation would be to contact New England Custom Gun. I believe they have an import license.

I will have him check with NECG, thanks. Any other reputable companies like them to look at?
