    Hi Pop,

    Simple answer is yes, I have done it, but like everything else firearms related in this country, it takes TIME.:(

    The best way to go about it IMHO is to do it through your local friendly firearms dealer, as there is a good bit of papier work involved ( import liciences and such ) and the process works better if it goes through a RFD.

    What type of Airrifle are you looking for? Perhaps there is already an agent in the country?

    I got a Gunpower SSS/Condor .22 PCP imported from gunpower UK. I would imagine that there would be even more papier work\crap if it from USA.

    Our old mate CG posted a very detailed account a year or so ago, of the procedure for importing firearms from the USA-

    I'd be of the opinion that unless the firearm you're thinking of was very special/unavailable here or particularly valuable, it's probably more trouble than it's worth when compared to choosing something that's available over the counter here.
