    Shipping Garand Stock to Europe Question

    Any issues shipping a Garandicon Stock to Europe? I've never exported "parts" before. Can it go UPS or via Mail? Thanks, Bob B.

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    Hi,
    for the reason that the stock is not an important part of a gun after our laws ( Germanyicon ) you can ship it in any way you want. I think UPS will be the fastest way and mail is the cheapest. In anyway please pack it very good the shipping guys arent very careful.

    Regards

    Gunner

    That is totally false. If it is a military item you must have an export license. Commercial items can be different depending upon the type of item and the value.

    Bill is right. This is not a good place to ask that kind of question. You will get opinions, but probably not qualified accurate information. There are laws about exporting gun parts and I think you should check with the U.S. state department or maybe the shipper could give you the info you need.

    Thanks for the replies, the stock isn't worth the headaches, so I'm just telling the guy no thanks. Gunner was refering to Germanicon laws. I'll go with Bill and latigo 1 though, as my concern is legally exporting (US laws) it to Italyicon. I've sent and received gun parts from Spain BUT those were not of any "military" configuration. Thanks again! Regards, Bob B.

    It depends on the country & the part. Exports are controlled by the US Dept of State, & the United Statesicon Munitions List changes frequently. I refer any overseas buyer to a US exporter, such as: ETSS - Home . Let the buyer have the headaches, & pay what it costs.
