International shipping ?

reb8600
I sold a compensator/muzzlebrake for the hi point carbine on an auction. The buyer is in Germany and I am not sure of the legalities of shipping it to him. If any one knows I would like to hear. I found the following statement on the USPS web site. If I understand it correctly, I cannot ship it. Thanks

    Hello Reb8600:
    I know the german company Frankonia have quite a fewmuzzlebrakes and recoil compensators in their catalogue.

    So I suspect they are perfectly legal in Germany - I know they are in Denmark, and I know Germany have a less strict legislation concerning weapons. (once you've got your firearms permit/hunting-permit)

    As for inport/export of muzzlebrakes or recoil compensators - I have no idea.
    But it seems that the buyer needs to get an "Import permit" from his local policeoffice - mail that to you - you then get an "Export permit" and ships the item to him with a copy of both permissions.

    That's how it's usually done overhere - eventhough the part might not be illegal, it still needs registration, regulation or supervision.

    In Denmark, the breech/bolt and magazines became "Weapons part" just as the receiver (with serial#) have been for ages.
    You need to show your Rifle-permit to buy parts for the breech/bolt or extra magazines.

    When in doubt, don't. That is a motto I have used when shipping stuff. I know some people who got in big trouble shipping things they didn't know they couldn't.

    The muzzlebreak you mention is not worth the risk.

    Whoever said the pen is mightier than the sword obviously never encountered automatic weapons.

    nou are not allowed to ship significant part such as chamber. barrel or receiver over to germany. if there is no rifling in the muzzlebrake you can sent it because it's no significant part.

    in a world full of compromise some don't
