It has been a while since I toted a gun to the UK but if memory serves you need to have the details(make, caliber, serial# etc.) on visitors permit before arrival. I can get it here for you but you will need to have the gun sent to my shipper. 550$ includes everything except shipping from me to you and duty on your purchase. It is becoming more complex to export from the EU(UK is still in currently)but I can still do it. Good luck and enjoy your visit with your son.
