Gosh, I think it depends on how much you want the gun. It would only be a show stopper for me if I was "on the fence" about it. Otherwise I can recite many cases of jumping thru much more difficult hurdles to purchase a special gun over the years. I remember driving for 10 hours one way on a rifle the seller wouldn't ship and wanted a face-to-face delivery. As the paperwork and cost are really inconsequential, I'm betting you weren't that much in love with it. Regardless, there's another one out there. Good luck...
