Have done this once from Martini and Hagn Gunmakers, maybe 3 years ago.It is a process, get permit from BATF, provide permit to seller, they ship and Customs processes at point of entry. It was painless, just took a while. M&H was very helpful. The rifle was C&R, which made direct ship to me possible, and I dealt with BATF which eliminated a middleman, and the person I dealt with was helpful. Hope this helps.
