I think Norman has the best idea: drive the item to a neighboring EU country with a more reasonable postal service and ship it from there.
Alternatively, maybe mefdik can try to disassemble the gun and ship stock, barrel and lock in separate packages. I had huge problems receiving a dress dagger that I bought on eBay from Italy last year, with the Italian postal service being just as difficult as the Danish appears to be. Finally, the seller disassembled the dagger and it arrived without further problems in separate packages. I am asusming that 3 separate Denmark Postal Service packages will cost less than $580 (UPS quote).

Regards,
Teodor
