AnPost AddressPal - Shipping a Rifle stock

john_aero

Anyone know if i bough a rifle stock and used USA Addresspal if an post would have issues with a firearms part been shipped? although its just a lump of wood? I have used it to deliver a small trigger guard and other small parts no issues.

Seen a nice Boyds Laminate stock on sale and I was thinking of buying it.

boyds will ship to Ireland.

I'm finished with addresspal. The last item I bought something they refused to ship it because it came from a gun shop even though it wasn't a firearms part.

I used adresspal to order ruger mk iv parts no problem. Still had to pay customs duties of course.

It's a lottery depending on what jobsworth looks at your package

Gave up on that crowd years ago when then refused a bore guide for my rifle

And then when said Jobsworth runs off and informs customs,who then get to arbitrate on the matter,then turning a mole hill into Mt Everest.

The solution according to Customs and the DOJ is this;

IF you are doing a personal import for a full firearm,make sure the sender includes,depending on their laws,a copy or the original,of the Irish import cert in the documents. Ditto for critical or pressure bearing parts.

For stuff like stocks and accessories that while are not critical components and you and I and customs know this,courtsey of a High court case recently.Some spotty 19 year old Herbert on his first day in an Post mail sorting line is unlikely to know such nuances in our firearms laws,and that it might be worth contacting the good folks in the DOJ and aquiring their free import permit for a stock or other such parts[Its not a full import permit,I cant remember what its offical title is ] and telling your US or other non EU country seller to include this in the paperwork manifest as it will expedite things on our end.

Thanks probably safest way, considering if i do buy the used tikka over weekend, will take 3 months for license so plenty time to sort it out

Wife wants to go to disneyland, maybe we need to go to florida and ill just bring it all home in my suitcase
