Can anyone import without rifle club membership? Will be glad if someone put some light.

The calibre of BB's is? 4.5mm = .177 cal, am I correct? If so I don't see any problem importing a BB gun as it is basically an airgun which shoots 4.5mm BB projectiles...

Cheers!

If that's the case my bad... I have a Walther PPK/S clone which shoots BBs and that reads as 4.5mm/ .177 cal, also the only other BB gun I've ever coveted is the Drozd and the specs of that read .177 as well - hence assumed that others would be the same calibre also. If they are 6mm's you are considering, guess the personal baggage route would be the only option.
