Change in regulations re Air Rifles

We received a nasty shock this past week when it was discovered that IATA, the body governing airlines & their carriage of cargo, has changed it's attitude towards airguns completely. Their new regulations will affect shipping of air rifles etc as they now consider an air rifle to be hazardous cargo, believe it or not! It's a bizarre attitude, especially since any air rifle in cargo would be securely packed and locked deep in the hold.

What this does though is affect delivery time. Shipping of air rifles within SA will now have to be by road freight, which means that we cannot offer a "Next Day" service any longer.

Regulations change from time to time, so this will hopefully corrected.

Your understanding and patience in this regard will be highly appreciated.
