Semi Auto Rifles

[jb1069]

Is there any more of an issue traveling to Africa with a semi auto rifle like the Browning bar or the Benelli R1?

They are not allowed.

Thank you for letting me know. Is there a certain reason? Is it just being a semi auto?

Yes

I thought Namibia allowed some semi autos like the Browning Bar. 2+1. But not the AR rifles and similar. But I could be wrong.

I googled the question. One resource says you are correct less than 5 rounds and their other says semi-automatic is prohibited. I think you are playing with fire if you choose to try and take a semi-auto rifle to Africa especially when passing through other countries. I have not always found customs and police in Africa to be easy to reason logic with.

Yeah I googled just now. It would be a risky endeavor. Would not take the chance without having it pre-approved in some way. Better safe than sorry.

I wouldn't take the chance. I just always liked the look of these guns and thought this would be a good reason to get one. But finding this out, and after watching a few videos, the accuracy really seems to be an issue. Thanks guys
