Buying guns in US

squeakyc

I live in Ontario and many times see some desirable guns for sale on the net but they are in the US and it almost always reads no international shipments. I think relics and curios are ok because they are antique but the problem seems to be getting them shipped.
As for registered guns, just how much trouble is it to import a weapon (for example a Winchester Model 94 in 38/55 caliber) into Canada from the US.............squeakyc

you need to check with the batf and see what the law is on shipping c & r guns to canada. unfortunately the feds have enacted a slough of new anti-foreigner gun laws in the wake of the 9-11 attacks despite the fact that no guns were used. i guess our esteemed legislators never let a little detail like the facts get in the way once they have made up the piles of manure they use for minds.

i never make misteakes.
