Moved from another location here with less traffic. Appreciate very much any ideas!!!
Question for Brits on shipping/import
Earlier this year I presented one of my very good friends with a refurbished 1875 Martini-Henry Gahendra. I did it myself after getting it from IMA. The firing pin is broken, and since i knew he'd never fire it I didn't fix it.
He is British and recently decided it was time to move back to Britain after many years away. He'd like to bring the M-H of course.
I know in the US it's not a firearm due to age and caliber. So my question is: what are the considerations for him bringing this old gun home to England? Is it permissible and what declarations or paperwork are necessary?
Many thanks! Alex
