Hi all,

Does anyone know where to get a red dot plate or a pic rail for the hammerli 280 in EU?

Google didn't help much.

Am I stuck with custom solutions?

Everyone and their dog seem to be running a CZ S2, but I'm looking at either the Grand Power MK23 X-Calibur Match or the Arex Alpha Gen2. Please let me know what you think! Personal experience with both highly appreciated!!!

Anyone knows where to get spare parts for Glock in rome

Thanks

Thanks in advance for the advice.

The title says it - I am looking a suppressor. To be exact a flow through one, the price is not a first consideration(within reason) I am currently looking at silent steel and ase utra dual but those options seem suspiciously cheaper than b&t. It will be going on a mr308 16.5. Any and allrecommendations and opinions are appreciated!

Hello,

I am a dealer, importer, and manufacturer based on the US. My most popular products are chamber inserts that adapt antique firearms (1874 Gras and 1870/87 Vetterli) to fire modern ammunition (410 bore and .44 Special respectively). After reading through the UK and EU charters, I cannot find a law that deals specifically with this situation and the inserts' legality. Lots of people in both the EU and UK would like to purchase these products but I need to know how they are classified in order to get the export compliant on both ends.

Is there a specific statute or law pertaining to this? If not, is there a way to submit this to a regulatory agency (BATFE equivalent) for an official ruling?

Thank you for your help and time.

My family's property in Poland was recently burgled (a couple weeks back). My father and I were installing a garage door, left it unfinished and ajar, and someone snuck in and stole all the tools that we left to continue the job the following day (only around $350 worth of stuff was stolen, luckily). Two men can be seen on the CCTV driving up in a van, hopping the gate, then quietly walking to the garage in the dead of the night and carrying away all the tools in a duffle bag.

Luckily nobody was harmed, but it left me feeling uneasy and worried for the women in our home. I've since bought them a pepper spray each, and one to stay at home in the living room at all times in case of emergency. My father and I have also installed more cameras and mounted a CCTV sign out front in hopes to deter thieves, but it has proven ineffective. Obviously the police was informed, but since we didn't have a number plate, they couldn't follow up with anything to pursue the case.

Yesterday our front gate got stuck and didn't want to close. Only two hours passed, and already a man pulled up in a small van, walked onto our property, had a look around, then ran away. My mother and sister were alone and all of this was captured on our ring flood lights. He can even be heard saying "Oh f*ck, they're home" before scurrying off. Both my mother and sister were home at the time, but couldn't hear or see anyone until we checked the footage.

I have a sporting gun license but don't own a gun since I'm not registered at this address. Regardless, the laws around self defence in Poland using a registered sporting weapon are very Liberal in theory but very... unforgiving in practice. I could lose my license or even go to jail for just using a pistol on my own property, despite all means being theoretically available when it comes to saving innocent lives in Poland.

I was thinking of buying a blackpowder revolver for my parents to keep in the bedside drawer loaded at all times. I'd be able to take it to the range with me to fire it off in addition to my weekly IPSC practice. I'm running out of ideas since "rubber bullet" guns are practically nerf darts and blank guns are just for show.

TLDR: Do you guys know any other effecfive means of self defence to prevent curious potential thieves from burgling our home, or causing harm to us APART from blackpowder revolvers in Poland?

Can you buy a Semi-Automatic ak47/ak74 in Sweden for Hunting/Sport Shooting/Collecting? How hard is it to get one? Are there any other particular firearms that are hard/impossible to get?

Hello im kid in denmark and would like to know to know if gunsmithing schools are in denmark im asking here becouse google is not giving me my awnser

Hi everyone! I'm from Italy and I'm considering buying a Canik (rival s) for some competitions and range practice. Just curious about if there is any customer care for us in Italy since canik.it is not a thing but there's a canik.eu. The question is, did you have some experience about dealing with canik while being in Europe?

Thanks in advance for the reply.

Is there a way to buy a .223 Rifle in germany while being 18 years old? Rn ive joined a Club about a year ago and will do an Sachkunde January next year. I know you need to be 25 Years Old (21 with a Medical Exam) to buy guns with a Caliber higher than .22, but does it say anything in the Law about "owning" Big Caliber guns? Could i just go to another country like Poland and buy a gun there, then take it to Germany and own it there?

Hello, I'm new in Europe and I'd like to hunt, I was unsuccessful to find a place that allows hunting without hunting license. As I'm not a native speaker of any EU languages and it seems all of the exams are in native language, I wanted to ask if there's anywhere close to Austria(maybe Czech?) where you can legally hunt under direct supervision which in a way exempt from owning a license?(Private Land) Or such. I tried googling guided tours but they require a license. Thanks :)

Hi all!

I have bought an SKS as a fun gun but the previous user has modded it out with hideous parts...i would like to return it to normal.

Are there any stores in europe that sell SKS parts? Especially the sights and bolt cover?

Thanks! 😀

Missing my stgw90 that's at the range though

I´m planning to move to Eastern Europe next year or so. Just wanna know which country has the best weapon laws for semi-automatic AR15 ownership, concealed carry, suppressors, etc

Anyone in or from denmark know any good online hunting stores?

So we already have a thread in the sticky about how long time it takes to get a gun in country X.

However, for many the economical aspect (not includingt the cost of guns and ammo) is more of an obstacle than the time it takes.

So I'm curious what the cost for all administrative costs (paperwork, required classes, doctor visit or whatever, everything except the gun itself) + other requirements (e.g. gun cabinet) is in your country to:

A) Get your first handgun

B) Get your first rifle (and if there's a different process in getting a bolt action vs semi auto then list that as well)

Austria Tl;dr 3-400 Euro + safe.

Croatia Tl;dr About 150 Euro.

Czech Republic Tl;dr cheapest would be 184 Euro, but it varies a bit and 332 Euro is more common.

Denmark Tl;dr for hunting, about 1700 Euro (with a safe).

France Tl;dr First handgun, 510 Euro (with the safe).

Germany

Greece Tl;dr 3-400 Euro for rifle for hunting. About the same for shooting sports but with a requirement of annual competitions so 300+ Euros annually in competition fees.

Italy Tl;dr about 305 Euro for the first time you get a sport shooting license which allow you to buy handguns and long guns (including semi auto).

Poland Tl;dr 268 Euro for the sport shooting license which allows you to buy handguns and long guns (including semi auto).

Sweden Tl;dr Fixed known cost is 87 Euro (first gun license). Classes or club memberships can vary a lot. Same with the gun cabinet.

Switzerland Tl;dr So much cheese

Howdy all!

As a planner I am always in thought. Spending two weeks in Sicily here first of Sept and curious me wonders -

If I, as a US citizen, were so inclined to move to Italy, educate me a bit on the import policy.

I understand - lengthy and pricey process of doing so, but it can be done? I’d be most curious to relocate with (1) Ruger Vaquero .45 Colt, (1) Ruger Single Six .22lr, (1) CZ-452 Trainer .22lr, and (1) hunting rifle likely in .30 cal, lever action or bolt.

The two Ruger revolvers and the hunting rifle are pretty non-negotiable and won’t be left home. I could stand to leave the CZ and only do the process with the aforementioned three firearms.

So, here I am, a Yank at baseline zero knowledge of firearms policy in Italy. Any help would be gladly appreciated. Thanks so much for the consideration!

Hey all!

I'm looking for thumb rests made in the EU (or Europe in general), but all I'm finding are options for CZ S2, Tangfolios, 1911/2011, etc..

Everything else for "normal" handguns (G17, P30, SFP9, APX, etc) have options, of course, but are on the other side of the Atlantic. Like the one in the pic (random photo for attention).

Aren't there European-made/sold options? Imo this 🇪🇺 market isn't going to evolve if we have to buy stuff for European handguns, from across the pond. Give a fella a hand! 😊

TIA!!

Hi everyone. Tomorrow I’ll be doing a day trip to Brno and was thinking about buying some CZ magazines. The ones I need aren’t available anywhere in Croatia at the moment so I figured I’d take a look. Any stores specifically you would recommend? Preferably in the city centre area but I have a car so anywhere is doable. Thank you!

Hello, does anyone have experience with making gun accessory parts in China and then importing them into the EU? I’m trying to create affordable hand guards for sale and I already have a model and a working prototype in the EU but the online CNC services are claiming such items cannot be shipped due to ITAR.

The parts i’d be making would not be “gun parts” so no barrels or recievers.

What are the laws regarding import of components such as pistol barrels, magazines, triggers etc.

Edit* Greece specifically

Hello everyone,

When comparing firearm prices between the United States and Europe, some weapons are 3 times cheaper in the U.S.

I wanted to know if anyone has considered importing a firearm (specifically to France), whether it's really complicated, and if the price difference makes it worthwhile even with taxes, shipping etc?

The difference is truly enormous, so I had to ask.

Thank you for your help.
