Thread: Barrel Blank purchase ???

Hi All - I live in the UK & the wife is going to visit NZ in December.
I want her to buy an unchambered True -Flyte barrel for my 223 whilst she is there & bring it back here so I can get it chambered & fitted to my M55 Tikka by one of the excellent riflesmiths we have here in Scotland.
Questions - 1. Where is the best place to buy one there? -- At True-Flyte - or via a distributor there? ---- Contact details would be nice please.
2. Am I right in thinking that there are no restrictions to her buying one for me & then bringing it in her baggage when she returns to UK. -- I do assume that she will need to declare it for import duty etc at this end -- Do you have VAT or similar there & can it be reclaimed when exporting things?

Regards Ian
