UK Customs and Clarinet/Rifle prop

[philmonty]

Hi all

I am attending a steampunk festival in Lincoln in a few weeks, and wanted to bring a clarinet that's been turned into a steampunk rifle - the basis is a wooden rilfe stock, but it's clearly something silly. The Clarinet/rifle will be disassembled in my bag.

Does anyone have any ideas if UK customs will let it through?

In theory, yes. It's not a 'Realistic Imitation Firearm' - it's a clarinet with a stock! Where are you bringing it from, and how are you intending to transport it?

 

[wildething]

in theory yes but i would have it dismantled and in separated bags

I would be more worried about the wired up little greeblie boxes, in any airport not just a U.K one. Also consider getting through security at your end.

UK customs, in my experience have no sense of humour/soul.
