Thread: Importing Antique Rifle

My dad has an 1873 Springfield Trapdoor 45/70 that has been through a few generations of family. He's still in the US and getting up there in the years and looking to downsize his collection. Anyone been through the process of trying to import something like that? Appreciate it can be a pain but there is a bit of sentimental value there. Alternatively, could I bring it back on my next visit? I imported some rifles about 10 years ago and it was easy, unsure how that would go in the current environment...
