You and me both! I've known of some old M16s wasteing a receiver because of water in the barrel.

Bob i believe when you fire the pistol underwater it is safe as all the pressures are equal, same as when firing out of water in normal air, but the water in the barrel scenario is the same as any blockage and could result in damage.

Spike you maybe 100% right but I would have felt safer using a revolver.

I have no idea the shipping cost from here to Costa Rica. I can do my research on shipping and get back with you later today.

I didn't see your request re: ship co’s. My last shipment was 2023. Quotes from SBS Logistics ($1,198), Badger Cargo ($1,184 - used them) & AHG Trophy Shippers ($1,746). AHG owner's an asshole so wouldn't have used him anyway. Eastern Cape - Houston, TX, so your mileage may vary. NEVER use Karl Human Taxidermy aka Wild Africa Taxidermy on Eastern Cape. Trophies arrived shattered with no padding/packing material.
