Hi Rajesh.

A few years ago I imported an antique muzzle loading long gun from the UK. I won't do it again. The mountain of paperwork, emails back and forth, special shippers - and the COST !! And I had to pick it up directly from U.S. Customs - and sign more paperwork. It's a minor nightmare even if you know the procedures. And, I understand that if the muzzle loader is a modern made REPLICA, it is treated the same as a modern cartridge firearm, requiring the assistance of a handful of specially licensed dealers here in the U.S. Unbelievable. I simply don't understand the UK's regulations with muzzle loading guns??? Doesn't make any common sense.
