Shopping/ Importing AirRifle & accessories from France.

[Devender]

Hi Guys,
Need suggestion,
In few days I am going to France, City Montpellier. Is it possible to import .177 Air Rifle from France in personal luggage. I have no Rifle club membership.
If not Air Rifle , can we bring accessories like Scope etc in personal luggage. If any one have Idea from where can we buy this stuff in Montpellier, France it will be a great help.

Thanks in Advance.

AIR RIFLE without membership You taking a big leap.

However accessories shouldn't be a problem. But which airport in India would be your Port of Entry??

Grt deal Nash, PM your passport details rather meet me any time, I am also in Chennai.
vmanicks@ I will be landing at Chennai Airport.
I know it is not OK without membership but I missed my chance of Haryana State rifle membership because of CWG, all guys were busy at HSRA. I will try for HSRA membership once I will be back. (why haryana? because its not easy to get membership in Chennai and I am basically from Faridabad)

if your entry point is chennai with .177 air rifle without holding a rifle club details -no way

forget about it, you cant buy air guns in France

You can buy air guns in France, and acessories. You just need to find someeone who speaks French to take along with you to the shop if you do not speak the language.
From the French perspective, you need to let the dealer know it is for export, and he will need to hand the gun over to you at the airport. Let the airlines know in advance.

Second with Moa.

Your airgun shouldn't be more than 7.5 j and just by changing the spring, you cannot increase the power. They use different version of Piston which needs to be changed also.

You are not suppose to carry the gun in public transport.
You are not suppose to open the pack anywhere other than your home or range.
