Default Importing from Usa

Anyone use Prophet River's importing service for firearms or optics in the past? If so how did it go?

I have used their services several times, always a smooth trouble free experience. My last shotgun was purchased on a Wednesday in Ohio, and I picked it up from Prophet River the following Tuesday. Monday was a holiday, or I would have picked it up Monday. Be sure to factor in the duty and shipping to the FFL that Prophet River uses, as importing is only worthwhile , when the price difference is fairly large.

Great, do you have to set up anything with them first or simply fill out the form online, submit it and have the item shipped to their location in Montana?

Default importing

doesnt get much easier. fill out the forms, and follow the directions. BUT, if you get nervous and not sure, email Clint with your questions. I swear, he seems to live 24-7 on that site, unless he is at a gunshow! Great people to work with. I have had a few brought in this way, with never a hitch.

Clay makes things go as smooth as possible, and his staff is very competent at imports.

Clay is great to work with. Call him and he will get what you want. It's not that bad for price to get them up from the USA this way
