I know the 50BMG is tough to get out now, but what about 50cal+ normal african style bigbores and barrels(.577, 600, 700etc)?

I seem to remember an instance last year of a .620 barrel(as in 600nitro/OK bigbore- nothing anti-tank) being blocked from leaving the US to go to a Aussie buyer.

Took my 600 OK to Zim last year with no issues...

Know of one other hunter who did the same with no problem...

I think the whole issue was a misunderstanding with the airlines & TSA as to the interpretations of their regs...

Could still have an issue if depending on what airline worker you have to talk to...

I meant export as in sent to a buyer in a foreign country, being Australia in this case.

oh...

sorry...

I import into Australia from US and its not a problem you just have to fully describe the rifle/cartridge.

Sjm you import .510+ rifles/cartridges?

As long as they are sporting calibres not 50BMG etc.
