Actually, flying out of the UK with normal hunting firearms is relatively easy. In addition to your Firearm Certificate, the only Government paperwork at our end you need is a Temporary Export Permit from the Dept Trade and Industry if IIRC..When I applied for mine it was a couple of forms to fill in and the Permit came through in about 10 days..I even think it was free..

If your taking a firearm into Europe there is also a European Firearm Pass which again is a relatively painless process..

Hardest part is the Airline personnel which sometimes don't know (or claim not to know) the law/company rules but even they are usually not to difficult to deal with if you're clued up on the situation before flying..
