Rifle Import from South Africa

[brummerb1]

Good afternoon,

I'm looking to import my dad's rifle from South Africa, has anyone had luck importing rifles from Africa or has a contact that does imports? Any advice help would be appreciated.

The rifle was my grandfathers Win model 70 pre 64- 375 HH. It has sentimental value to me and I would like to import it before my father is no longer with us, otherwise it will be impossible to get to the US.

Thanks!

@Gert Odendaal can help you. I purchased a rifle from him. He went through everything on the SA side (which was quite extensive) and the coordinated with the U.S. Importer I hired which made it simple for me.

MMBImports.com (in the U.S.) who I highly recommend.

I actually completed this last year for a similar rifle. Do you have a contact person in SA who currently possesses the rifle? They will be required to start the process on their side?

I will PM you the details and costs I incurred as well as who was involved in the entire process.
