Dog, I humbly apologize for jumping the shark. Here were my thought processes - helped by a second two fingers of Best American agricultural concoction:
1) several commentators mentioned spending up to $1,500 to get a gun bought at a UK auction back to the US.
2) I questioned this expense and mentioned several ATF regs with which I'm familiar
-- you can bring a gun made before 1898 back in your luggage
-- it can't be a reproduction (unless it's really good).
And gave examples.
Sorry to offend.
