    Bringing back an enfield from Canda or Australia

    What are the odds if I were to go to Canadaicon or Australiaicon I could bring back a Lithgow or an AIA? Is there a way to get them into the USAicon? (Legally of course)

    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.

Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Do not think you as an individual could do it. Fire arms have to be imported through a dealer with an import license. With all the hoops one has to jump through, few are willing to do it for a single rifle. BDLicon will do it, but be prepared for a hefty expense charge.

    You don't say where you want to bring the rifle too Efdnut. If it's back to Englandicon, then it's easy.

    I have imported three so far, albeit one by default! But they all came through unscathed. You can let the fear of it bog you down but generally speaking, personal imports are pretty simple. In the UK, believe it or not, it's more difficult to import a car.

    Go for it.............
