MOW - it will depend on the gun obviously, but you should expect to have some room to negotiate. Our British colleagues Lagopus, gunman and Salopian can all provide better color on that point, I am sure.

The import process takes some time (6-8 weeks, maybe a bit longer right now as I heard there is a backlog at ATF). A number of the UK dealers can arrange for export and there are some good importers you can use here in the states to handle this end. Chuck Lutz at TR Imports is one good option - Charles Schneible at British Sporting Arms and Shari Buchanan at Griffin & Howe are also options.

Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.
