Currently in Namibia. You still don't need an export permit like you do in RSA. Even if flying via Jo'burg like we did.
I was amazed how little interest was paid by the Namibian police in Windhoek. I emailed the form as required, but they appeared to have no access to it or any kind of computer system. The police officer asked me to open my rifle case, read off the serial number (Without inspecting the weapon at all) and filled in a form. They didn't even want to see my FAC, just my letter of invitation and form I'd completed and took with me.
Loads easier than South Africa for sure.
