I put an M1 carbine, a Browning auto 12 gauge shotgun w/30" barrels, and a 308 Mauser bolt action rifle that I'd won in a raffle at the 10th SFG in Germany in 1967 into the bottom of my "State Department" shipment to Pakistan in 1975. Sold them all there.
In 1980 I put a Hawken .50 Caliber muzzle loader, a Remington 870, and a Smith and Wesson .357 gigantic revolver that I'd bought in Alabama when I came back from Vietnam in 1968 into my shipment to Africa... I brought the 870 back with me at the bottom of the same trunks.
I put the 870 into to bottom of the trunks along with powder, and reloading machine, and 1,000 caps going to India in 1988. Brought the 870 along with a William Evans .20 bore back with us to Athens then to the USA at the bottom of the trunks.
I took the 870 to Italy in 1996. and back in 1998. No permission.
In 2007 I bought a Haji 12 gauge wall hanger in Pakistan...homemade hammer gun with brass retaining rings covered in Urdu or Pashtu Quranic inscriptions. put the barrels in one bag, the receiver in another, flew from Islamabad to Chicago and never had a question asked.
I sent maybe a dozen Pashtu copies of Martini-Henry's home from Afghanistan along with 6 Enfield muzzle loaders..now beloved by the War Between the States reenactment crowd. (Scr*w that "civil war" stuff) ATF was very helpful... And sent a Long Lee Enfield haji'd up as well.
ATF will work with you. England..there will always be an England - the origin of our 2nd Amendment...maybe not.
