In the UK Firearm 'pressure parts' (action, barrel, bolt, bolt head) are 'registerable', If you want to buy a spare bolt head you must apply to the Police for a variation to your Firearms Certificate (FAC) to allow the purchase, your FAC is stamped up with 'authority to buy one bolt head' and this must be shown to the dealer selling the bolt head. Once you have purchased the aforesaid bolt head you must write to the Police informing them of the purchase and the dealer must log the sale (name & address) into his sales book for Police inspection.
This does NOT apply to shotguns (only 'firearms') I have a 410 calibre No1 MK3 and a 410 calibre No4, and have a number of spare bolt heads for both of them - you never know when you'll need to adjust the headspace on that shotgun.

So,
What happens when I want a bolt head sending to France?
To build a 222 a free to buy section here. NOT a 223 which is our section 1 here,
What would a dealer need to post it to France.
-
Probably the same, without the import licence bit, as we're not in the Schengen Area and the free movement of goods and services in the Single Market was never intended to apply to guns.

Man that sucks. How sad and strange that I had to move to America to be able to collect British guns easily!
Alan thank you for your PM.
