Cheers old bones for the heads up for adventure 16 store ill check that out , and I'm staying at an area called Solana beach at the winners circle resort , I visited a store called stars and stripes (surplus) it was ok I guess , only thing I considered buying was a poncho at 40 bucks , the rest was all holsters and a naval missile (no joke ) it was lying on the floor up one of the aisles , oh and all the weapons were " deactivated!". Was looking for a good knife , but only fixed blade that didn't resemble a john Rambo cast off was the Gerber bear offering (3 different models) tried to google a basic condor blade supplier but no luck on the wife's smartphone , but ill keep looking , thanks for the suggestions ,

But you can't bring them home. No reason you can't bring back a shotgun or rifle at way less than UK prices (provided that you have the relavent ticket)
But if he's not a citizen (or resident alien) he won't be able to buy a firearm in the US.

Yeah. Not all surplus stores have an FFL (gun dealer's license) so any firearms they sell either have to be deactivated or made prior to 1898 (and thus exempt from regulation)
Go to a real sporting goods store or gun store for a window shopping experience you won't regret (or even a larger pawn shop)
Or even Walmart for that matter.

Interesting....I know people who have bought from the US and imported....normally by post....I wonder how that works?
Buying "from" the US is totally different from buying "in the US. Importation and exportation is perfectly legal. But an over the counter purchase from a licensed dealer reuires filling out a 2 page form afirming (among other things) that you are either a US citizen or lawful resident alien and have no felony criminal convictions (or misdemeanor conviction of domestic violence) and have never been dishonorably discharged from the armed forces.
I suspect (but don't know) that it may be possible for a visitor to buy using a separate form afirming that they are indeed buying it for export to their home country. Even if true, it's unlikely that most smaller gun shops would be aware and have the neccessary forms on hand. I suppose the larger ones might do though.
Thanks - I've often thought of buying as a personal import if I visited....sounds like thats probably not such a good idea!
Might be worth contacting one of the larger gunn dealers such as Cabela's or Bass Pro to find out. If anyone would know, they would.
If you go to rei check when it's the monthly used sale, I think they sell all the returned stuff really cheap once a month. Last time I was there I missed it by a day

Looks like they handle all the export details but not the actual purchace. That was the original problem; being able to purchace one legally, over the counter.
