It may very well do when exporting by way of trade or business, but an individual can rely upon the personal effects waiver. Likewise, I’ve had another look at The Export Control Order 2008, and specifically ML1 and ML2 of Schedule 2, and do not see magazines listed there. Am I being a bit thick and missed something?
In 1978 I was told by my grand dad that the secret to rifle accuracy is, a quality bullet, fired down a quality barrel..... How has that changed?

Re: Posting Abroad
The problem is if you post something via Parcel Farce/Post Office that is contrary to their rules and they find out, they do scan, then they will destroy the said item with no recompense.

Re: Posting Abroad
Unfortunately most of the post office's employees are unaware of this and when they see anything gun related they wet their panties. I know from experience.
They have even phoned the police when I have tried to send allowed gun related stuff via them.
I wouldn't trust them with anything firearms related regardless of what their rules are.
Terrorism has won as most of the country seems to be living with a fear that is easy to set off.
I have even had Parcel Farce employees refusing to accept a firearm on my Parcel Force RFD account and when a higher up has been called to explain to them that it is ordinary business they have been shocked and said words to the effect "this cannot be right and shouldn't be allowed". On occasion I have come across staff that have refused initially to handle the packages as though it were novichock.
