Weapons and many weapon-related items are covered by legislation and may require a permit to be sold or owned. Some also cannot be sent with regular delivery services. That is why we have restrictions on which weapons and weapon-related items may be sold on Tradera. You can read more about the rules for weapons in Sweden on the Swedish Police Authority's website.
