Navi is an IFG member who lives in NY City. He may be able to guide you when he sees your post.

From what I know ags and New York don't go together. It is very strict and you may need a firearm permit sorta thing please get your brother to check up with the local leos.

Sid,

A firearm licence is required to purchase an Air Rifle /Pistol in New York City.

See Point 7(b) here

Sid,

Why dont you transit via Dubai or Lon on return,a few IFG members have bought Airguns there,save you the headache of getting permits etc.

The Yanks post 9/11 are paranoid about security,so much so that while exiting the US you cant even put lock on your suitcase.After the baggage has been checked in they do an inspection of each piece.

This happens for sure when departing from the West Coast,not sure about the East,could be the same rules apply.

But in any case just check with the Airline you using before your dep if they allow carriage of Airguns.

Forget the U.K. until things return to normal at Heathrow.

Ditto on the East coast.

4 hours is not enough,they wont let you go out of the airport.

I meant that you take a stop over for a couple of days in Dubai.

That should keep your hopes alive :wink: & have a good time in city too :)

Just check the mailing restrictions that pyramyd air or any air rifle dealer has. It has the big negative written all over it.

Apologies for being the bearer of bad news wish we had known earlier.
