This must be a benefit of being a member of the commonwealth or something. Not possible to or from the US without lots of PITA. Also insurance cost were in four figures for me.

Jeez, it cost me what you quote with insurance to ship a nice rifle or shotgun to New Jersey, about a four hour drive!

If what you quote is accurate, I'd have everyone of my English guns reproved and many of my other guns proved too!
