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.

Had an excellent classifieds transaction with JoninCO. A truly honest and standup member. I wouldn't hesitate at all to deal with him again. Thanks, J!

Hi Lance, Hope you well. I collect Mauser rifles and they are very much part of my cultural history in Africa. Would you consider selling the rifle now a year on ? I'd like to place it in my collection of Mauser rifles. Many thx

I saw where you hunted elephant with backcountry safaris in Zimbabwe.
Was looking to book an elephant hunt and wanted to know how your hunt went
and if you would recommend them.

Thanks
Mike
hi, do you know about lions hunters, leopard hunters, and crocodiles hunters of years 1930s-1950s
I'm new to Africa Hunting. I would like to purchase a Heym 450-400 double rifle. I'm left-handed but would prefer a non-canted gun. Is anyone in the community considering parting with theirs?
