    Hi guys . Does anyone know if I’ll need a permit to receive a pistol barrel stamped with my existing serial number for which I’m licensed for or will it just be a customs fee .

    cheers

    From the Irish side you will need an import permit.


    I'm also presuming the caliber is the same, or that'd need a new license.


    From the US side no idea, but usually some combo of export permit, ITAR documentation, etc

    Never forget, the end goal is zero firearms of any type.

    S.I. No. 187/1972 - Firearms (Temporary Custody) Order - Firearms seized

    S.I. No. 21/2008 - Firearms (Restricted Firearms and Ammunition) Order 2008 - Firearm types restricted

    Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2009 - Firearms banned & grandfathered

    S.I. No. 420/2019 - Magazine ban, ammo storage & transport restricted

    Criminal Justice (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2023 - 2023 Firearm Ban (retroactive to 8 years prior)

    For free from the DOJ.Fax or mail the original to the maker,dealer etc in the US for his paperwork with the Feds. Ask which one they need original or copy?

    Critical an FFL dealer or manufacturer who can handle sales outside the US. They should have done this plenty before and will know what the routine is to export such.
