hi is it still a no no to ship certain things to the UK ?

like rifle sights some US companies won’t ship to the U.K.

Depends what the item is. What are you trying to get?

Are you referring to rule changes regarding the export of small arms, ammunitiin, and related items made by the administration early this year?

And whether something may be exported from the U.S. does not address whether the UK will allow it to be imported. You will have to be more specific.

Since the default answer has to be Yes to such a vague question you will need to be specific to get any other answer.

Yes. Can't ship you an ICBM. Socks and a t shirt, no problem.

It's been illegal to ship slaves there since 1833, opium since 1910, moonrock samples since 1969, and backbones or fortitude since Thatcher died.

There was that brief period just during WWII when they were happy to import privately donated small arms, but as soon as we'd finished beating the Germans back a second time, they destroyed them all lest any subjects get uppity ideas of citizenship.

Perhaps if you were just a smidge more specific. . .

Stuff could include the US congress....would love to see the answer.

Mojo sights for a Mosin and a Mauser K98K

You can ship those to the UK without falling foul of regulations on either side. On the US-side the company may have a policy that they don't ship anything to the UK, in which case you have to find a different supplier or have someone in the US buy it for you and mail it to you directly.
You might pay a small customs charge on the UK side.

Our English lady friend from Perton wouldn’t take her targets back home. But she did ok at a local range near Austin, Texas.... only hit the ceiling once shooting .38 Specials through my Ruger New Vaquero.
Her late husband had belonged to a shotgun club somewhere in the Wolverhampton area, so she has some familiarity with firearms.
