No Name Big Bore

I have a CZ 458 Lott that was a gift. It was customized quite nicely before I got it, and it shoots great. My question is, no where on the rifle is the manufacturer name, or the model number. The serial number is on the receiver, and the barrel is marked with the caliber, but nothing else. Am I going to run into problems with SAPS or Tanzanian Customs because of this, and will US Customs let me put the rifle on a 4457 with no make or model info on it?? Just wondering.

I presume you removed the stock and looked underneath.

If make and model designations have truly been obliterate, you're probably going to have to have it restamped before registering it with Customs.

I dont believe you will have any issues with the rifle as long as the SN and caliber is visible. Last year I took a custom 7x57 into africa that had no caliber markings on the barrel. I typed out "7x57" on white paper and taped it to the barrel and they never gave me any problems.

Two years ago I took my 9.3x62 to RSA. It's only markings are the SN on the front receiver ring and 9.3x62 on the barrel. I listed it as a "Mauser" on the forms and nobody looked twice.
