Re: how to smoothly import .177cal air rifle - guidelines
my wife's Walther ALutech.177 now at Delhi foreign post office, she has only letter from state rifle association and no membership card, today they refused to release her rifle. Any suggestions, besides kiss your rifle goodbye, or real help to resolve this situation will be appreciated.

What i know about the scopes is that if ur scope is mounted on the gun then it might be a problem but if packed in a other suitcase will go smoothly. My frnd bought a scope but not a gun and was easily through without any customs and confitication

King,
I think you are mixing two things here. You do not need a club membership when you are getting it as a part of personal baggage.
You need to have a membership when you are getting it via post.

Re: how to smoothly import .177cal air rifle - guidelines
nothing new, but till she not submitted all documents written exactly in same manner as it is described here they refused to release the rifle. So, to safe your time and prevent brain damage - only import when your are readysrikanth131 wrote:@ Subal
