Mossberg AR Trainer - Not
Someone on the BBS will definitely want one.

That's a .22LR Semi-Auto rimfire for £175. 
If I was looking for a first .22LR semi auto, that one would win on price alone. |

Pistol grips gonna take some changing !
You're right about the price if it gets here ! Still can't work out how an M&P 15-22 gets from $450 to £650 ! 
Even worse how a Umarex Colt made 600 miles from UK ends up @ £620 Yet the same gun travels 3000 miles further to US & costs £300 ! Surely proofing & V.A.T does not add that much

Plus Import duty ? The RFD have to make some margin on the rifle & that's probably not a fat lot. |

Same reason midway UK prices are way way higher than midway USA prices things cost whatever the public will pay! |

From the US you're going to have export paperwork costs, shipping, then import duty & VAT. The dealer in the US is already making his profit at the $276 price, so the wholesale price is going to be even lower then that. Turns a cheap plinker into an expensive gun!
Never understood how a GSG could be cheaper in the US than in the UK though!! |

I remember reading that it was cheaper to buy a Range Rover in France than in the UK, despite the fact that they are built just 10 miles from my front door..... |
