Guns in Germany?

[deadcoyote]

Yea its a no-go you might as well have someone store it for you back in the states. Im stationed in Italy and its worse off here. No gun ownership, not even able to bring guns into the country. Sucks..

now about these FAL uppers... How would anyone know what it is unless they actually knew what an FAL upper looked like. You could pack it in your household goods on your way back to the states and call it a flower vase...couldn't you?

One more issue to consider, RE: FAL uppers. A lot of the uppers over there are cut for full auto sears, and it's an ATF no-no to possess one here. I agree its such a ubiquitous block of metal I'm sure you could probably just mail em without attention. But is your freedom worth it?

Ahhh I see the deal, even though you would need the parts to make the rifle full auto, some receivers will have space for the sear cut off. It would be nice to find these somewhere like that.

Because you aren't a registered hunter out there it might be difficult. I wasn't allowed to take mine back in 2013, however I was able to purchase there. The MWR an outdoor recreation center building on most military bases will tell you how you can become a registered hunter and member of a gun club in order to obtain the permit. When I did it I remember it costing me around 500 USD (estimate since it was in euros), plus I needed special hunting equipment to test out (they will not provide). You'd be suprised on how many Germans you will meet love to hunt, especially if you are going to southern Germany.

Have you tried contacting your command and receiving instructions? I know our armory was limited, but perhaps they can store your weapons in an armory and just have them locked there until you PCS?

How long you gonna be there? Might be better to just store them in USA.
