Does anybody know how I can obtain a Boyd's At -One stock for a Ruger 10:22 without paying the very high price of a UK dealer. Edgar Bros are the importer but don't. Sportsman's Gun wont have any until next year if at all and another dealer is selling them at well over £300 or $400 twice the original price
Thanks

These stocks are covered by ITAR regulations . They need a specific export licence .
That adds to the costs .

Shipping , would you really trust USPS and Parcelforce to get it here in one piece , or pay the high FedEX or UPS charges ? .

Then you would have to pay Import Duty , VAT and handling charges .

If you pay the USA supplier with your credit card you get hit with 2.5-3.00% charges .

Al the above assumes that you can find a dealer in USA that has an export licence with you as the named importer .

All in all the current UK pricing is not a very high price .

Thanks for that. I have over the years on many occasions bought shooting related products from across the 'pond'. in this case there seems that the relevant and possible UK suppliers either don't want to be bothered or are happy to make us pay an inflated price. I have found a second line US retailer who will supply but with the UK Government as always adding to the cost the advantage is £40 saving. And the purchase is within the US export rules which are very nebulous and open to interpretation
