Need your help, what would be the best way to export firearms from USA to EU?

I am now in Europe and would like to purchase 357/9mm convertible Flattop, stainless, 5.5" https://ruger.com/products/newModelBlackhawkConvertible/specSheets/5247.html .

Unfortunately, this revolver is distributor exclusive and not available here. So, my only option is to import it from USA.

Are you aware of any distributor or dealer who can do that? BTW, I have here a good dealer who could handle transfer on this side.

From what I understood reading some articles, USA export restrictions are somewhat relaxed. Any info about that?

Many thanks for your help!

I think you're over a year late in looking for that model. Most retailers have been showing out of stock since before the latest round of panic buying: https://gun.deals/search/apachesolr_search/736676052479

Firearms exports are no longer controlled under the USML. That responsibility was transferred to the Commerce Dept. late last year. Retail firearms dealers are generally aware of this, so it shouldn't be a problem from this end. See this (you'll need to download the PDF).

Thanks to all for useful information. I will try to contact them, most likely Lipsey's first to see if they have any leads.
