Thread: Importing firearms

There's a website called Guns International which is the equivalent of Willy Wonka's chocolate factory for grown men - full of firearm classifieds and every high quality gun you can imagine.

Has anyone here bought firearms internationally, and is the process relatively easy or a complete headache?

I'm looking at a few options from the USA, but I've heard that an export permit for a firearm can cost thousands. Is this true? And how long does the process generally take? If it costs an arm and a leg I may just scrap the idea.

Cheers.
