Blaser rifle in Africa

[BOSSGobbler]

Those of you taking a Blaser rifle into Africa for hunting: With the multiple barrels possible, it is considered one gun for import purposes or depends on the number of barrels you have along with you?

You’ll need to list the receiver and barrel serial numbers on your paperwork. Along with the calibers of the barrels. Not sure if they consider each barrel a separate firearm for import purposes, but if you have ammo for a specific caliber, they’ll make sure you have a “firearm” in that caliber.

Dont know if its useful; just emailed with Ethiopian Airlines, one R8 with two barrels, they say it's one rifle.
Going out of Denmark I declare everything as it is on my license (barrels got numbers), only for purpose of being able to being back.
Going to Namibia, no paper filled in before hand, will write whatever they ask.

So, in short, it depends, I'm afraid your 'into Africa' is to broad, where, how, through which crounties.

And perhaps you need to avoid using the word import, that would in many instances mean something permanent, and that would be an entirely different ballgame.

I travel with 2 Blaser stocks and 3 barrels ( 2 Rifles) with all airlines except the morons in Port Elizabeth (Air Link) who claimed and charged me for 3 rifles.
