I think you need someone in the US with an import license.
I looked into some British shotguns years ago, and I seem to remember that being the case. |

Quoted:
I'm in Switzerland now and from what I can tell a K31 goes for around $100. If I can get one to the US for under $300, I'd be pretty interested. Has anyone done something like this? Do I just get a US gun shop to fill out a form 6? Beoing that you are from CA, doesn't the gun you purchase have to be on the approved list ? |

CA's "Approved list" is called the roster and it only applies to handguns. Everything else just has to be CA compliant. |

You'll definitely need the service over a dealer since you are here. I brought a few guns back from Germany on a form 6 and it was a fairly simple process from over there.

I usually use Simpson's LTD since they are set up to do the engraving and everything. |

According to this ATF Document, A regular FFL can import the occasional firearm for personal use or for a specific customer on request without becoming a licensed importer, ie; if you have a friendly FFL, he can do it.
Buut, it gets confusing talking about importing military arms or relics, not sure if you could import a K-31.... 
ETA: Maybe....Surplus Military Firearms A surplus military firearm is any firearm which has ever been possessed by a regular or irregular military force. Surplus military firearms are prohibited from importation under 18 U.S.C. § 925(d)(3); however, § 925(e) authorizes licensed importers (FFL type 08 or 11) to import surplus military rifles and shotguns classified as curios or relics; and handguns classified as curios or relics which meet the sporting criteria. In order to qualify for importation the firearms must be in their original military configuration and cannot have been sporterized. Further, under the AECA, the importation of U.S.-origin surplus military firearms is generally prohibited without retransfer authorization from the Department of State. 27 CFR § 447.57. |

I'm a licensed customs broker and I've handled firearms imports for collectors.
Several folks have had their C&R. A couple didn't. The overseas dealer arranged air freight to ORD. I moved it to my bonded warehouse where it sat it our locked air freight cage. Meanwhile I transmitted the customs entry electronically and sent the ATF paperwork down to Customs to get signed off. Once CBP had signed off on the paperwork, I shipped the firearm overnight via Fedex or UPS to the FFL, who then handled the transfer to the importer. That's for the folks who didn't have their C&R. I sent it directly to the C&R folks. ETA: You have to get a Form 6 from ATF and that can take some months. |
