Shipping a musket

[fernando]

It might prohibited in transportation means; carriers may have their rules.
Definitely it is free to buy and possess in France (Category 8th).
I guess the big obstacle is the weight, that brings it up to a 'gross goods' status, carriers having to manifest the cargo and things like that.
If its weight were a lighter one, together with the Common Market goods free trafic law, problems would not arise.
I have sent and received several firearms and edged weapons and never had a problem. Just think you don't have to declare what's inside an airmail packet, as also it doesn't go through customs inspection.
What a pity.
