Casper, my reply about costs was directed to Mike's comment that was talking about giving his double to his PH in South Africa.

Cost of getting them here is a few hundred dollars but the real cost is the import tax and VAT. Another hassle is getting the firearm onto the permit of the 'end user' as the CFR are very slow to process any paperwork...... and it gets 10 times worse if the calibre isn't on the CFRs computer. A friend of mine has been waiting well over a year because 550 isn't on the CFRs data base.
