Import/Export of Firearms...

[Marc]

Hello,

I have been looking for a shooter for a while now and I have not been very lucky so far <img src="graemlins/crying.gif" border="0" alt="[crying]" /> . Since 4" barrels are prohibited in Canada, I am looking for a shooter that has a barrel lenght of at least 106mm (4.17 inches) so that the Luger is "restricted" instead of "prohibited" (4.2" is a lot less dangerous than 4" <img src="graemlins/c.gif" border="0" alt="[ouch]" /> ).

I've been in contact with a few peoples (Canadians) and I quickly found out that 4.2" and 6" Lugers are very hard to find north of the border.

So I am contemplating buying one from the USA except that I have no idea what's involved in getting a pistols to the border for exportation.

I've already been through the Canadian Gov paperwork "maze" except that they mentioned something about an "american export permit" and "FFL dealer" and "exporter" [img]confused.gif[/img] !!!!

Could anyone shed some light on this for me? Are these clowns in a suit yanking my chain (they have a way of making it look complicated to discourage people from acquiring even more guns <img src="graemlins/cussing.gif" border="0" alt="[grrrrrrr]" /> ) Does anyone have experience exporting guns out of the USA?
