Google for ATF firearm import and find  FFL/Import Dealers licensed by ATF and specialized in imports.  That Import Dealer could be from anywhere in US. Once it makes there, the Dealer will stamp the firearms according to rules set forth by ATF and have them shipped to FFL in your state.  Expect to pay couple of grand in total.   There are customs and ATF fees involved too.

 

All this assuming they are legal to export out of country of origin, legal to import into US and legal to possess in NJ.

Grifin and Howe seem to offer this service for shotguns and rifles. No handguns.

This^^^^^^ is if you import through an importer and it could be done for well under $1000 if the shipping out of Pakistan isn't ridiculous. There is also a way to import small amounts of firearms without going through an importer, IF you are granted a waver (or something to that effect) from US Customs, these are usually granted for one time occurrences and you will probably need to have some reason to do so (competition shooting or something like that). Either way you will need to have them sent to an FFL and do the normal paperwork and background check.

 

Whatever you do - do not just try to ship them over without the proper paperwork set up before hand, customs will seize them and you'll never see them again.

 

 

EDIT: You will probably also need an exporter in Pakistan to handle the paperwork on that end.

So even it's a gift/inheritance I just can't bring them with me on the plane? Not the handguns what if I decide to bring just the shotguns?

No, they will be seized upon entry to the US and you'll never see them again.

 

The only things that import easy are antiques - made before 1899

You are right. The price depends on number of firearms, shipping to US, importer fees, customs (if any), ATF fees, local shipping (if any) and local FFL fees.

 

How difficult is getting that waiver ?  I didnt see any options for that waiver on CBP site. CBP keeps referring to ATF site.

      The Tax Man Commeth

      We never let then inside.  Last re-evaluation was 6-7 years ago, wife politely told him that he was welcome to look around the property and he could look in the windows. He saw two white resin chairs in the basement and told her that this constituted a finished basement. And everything in the basement is bare concrete/ cinder block, and mechanical systems. Nothing finished about it. Ultimately he relented and I'm sure that was a ploy to coerce us to allow him in

      I use an Alien Gear cloak tuck (IWB) with my Shield.  Neoprene back - in the summer it does feel warm but doesn't rub or chafe.   https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-iwb-holster.html Could also go with the shapeshift as it has multiple options - OWB/IWB, Appendix... https://aliengearholsters.com/ruger-lcp-shapeshift-modular-holster-system.html

      The  12-1 compression ratio L88 is long gone. This is GM's updated version. it might be  pump gas 10-1 engine The L88 was a aluminum head  cast iron block engine with a nasty solid lifter cam. the  ZL1 was a all aluminum  12 or 13-1 compression ratio engine with the best forged internal parts at the time and had a even nastier solid lifter cam

      Softer Holster

      By maintenanceguy · Posted

      I like my regular carry holster.  OWB leather with belt slots.  I've been carrying for over a year and it was comfortable and I hardly even noticed it.  I carry (usually) a Ruger LCP .380 - light, convenient, tiny. But...today I ended up taking it off an leaving it home after a few hours. I cut down a big maple tree a few days ago and I spent 3/4 of today loading and unloading firewood into the back of my truck and a trailer.  It was a warm day, I was dirty, tired, sweaty, and my holster was rubbing against my side.  The leather and exposed metal snap was no longer comfortable. I'm thinking about adding a layer of something to that part of the holster to soften the contact.  Anything insulating will make it worse.  I don't want a sweaty, hotter holster against my skin.  I'm imagining something thin, breathable, that won't absorb sweat, and softer than leather, metal snaps, and rivets.   But I have no idea what would work. I'm hoping somebody else has already figured this out and I can just do what they did. Any suggestions appreciated.

      Light primer strikes

      By Mr.Stu · Posted

      Check the primers on the ammo you didn't shoot yet. Are they fully seated? If the primer is not just below flush with the back of the case, the first hit can seat it better then the second hit ignites it.
