Export of Rifle

tudorbug · 04-02-2008, 11:06 PM

I am anticipating the need to export a firearm, a single shot rifle.

I understand that the export of a firearm requires a person who possess a federal firearms license and also possesses a license to export firearms to other countries.

Does any on know of a person who does this for appropriate payment?

Very kindly, David

Simpson's Limited is a licensed importer, and I presume that also means exporter...

I believe that Lugerdoc (Tom Heller) may also be licensed in this area, but check with him... if he isn't, he is bound to know who else can help.

John:

Thank you for your post.

Simpon's has posted a notice on their web site that they will only export firearms that have purchased from them. This is not the case for the rifle of concern, so I have thus been looking for an alternative.

Very kindly, David

I have had a bit of experiance in this as of late. If the rifle is pre1898, not export permit is needed. I just recieved a springfield trapdoor in the mail last week, no paperwork needed to ship it.
Leroy's Big Valley guns does a good job, he is working on getting a shipment for me out of Hawaii. Joe Salter lists a couple more on his site.
There is someone in Florida as well, just have to remember where iI saw the name..Chip

Thank you for your information, Chip! I've heard of Leroy's Big Valley Guns and wonder if they have a web site that I might use?

The rifle was made by Mauser in the 1930's.

Exports can only be done by FFL dealers who are REGISTERED with the US State Department.
