I am looking for someone who can act as an agent for a gun purchase in France and export to the US?

I know there are such services available for buying guns in the UK but am not aware of any that normally deal with French guns as the market for French guns here is not strong

I am sure that Thomas Haphen can help you, his gunshop is in centre Paris and he was the shopmanager for H & H in Paris.

Thomas is a good guy...
However, I am having more and more issues finding logistics companies willing to transport firearms.
Oh and make sure to insure the guns with a reputable company before any transportation. So far I have lost a pair of Grants (United Airlines probably in Dulles airport) and a Thys double by a French transporter.

Wild Cattle, I agre, transport from France is not always secure. The most trustable for export and transport are of course German and I can only speak from experience. The first to name is Krico and Waffenverwertung. There are never unexpected issues and all goods are automaticaly insured. When I needed export from France to Russia I always passed first by one of the previous named company and they exported from Germany to Russia without any problem.

My stomach turned when I read this. I lost a vintage Leonard bamboo fly rod (AirTran at Raleigh Durham) and it was like someone shot my dog. My wife told me later that I was quoting the Constitution at the airport. But a pair of Grants. I would have set up a tent in the TSA office. Insurance it is. Done.
