    I read the shipping sticky, but would someone tell me in simple terms what is needed to ship an 80 year old winchester to Canada?

    Thanks

    I would suspect an importer's/exporter's license, and approval from the US Department of State.

    And approval from the equivalent canadian agency.

    If you are selling on GB, just insist on sending to a FFL - let the buyer find a importer/exporter and deal with the hassles.

    Nothing is ever simple.

    Check out these companies on the GB list:

    Do not attempt to do this by yourself.

    EDIT: That is exactly the way this should work: the FFL is a "US agent". But, you should validate the FFL by getting an ATF EZ-Check.

    I am a consultant to the RCMP in regards to dating English firearms which are very popular in Canada. If a firearm was made prior to Jan 1898 (one year earlier than the U.S. defines antiques) it may simply be mailed to a person Canada. It is always faster if they request a permission letter from the RCMP that you can enclose with the firearm.

    in the future state in any add you will ship to any FFL in the united states Tell IF YOU WANT TO BID OR BUY YOU THE BUYER MUST HAVE A U>S> FFL DEALER FIRST.REMEMBER ALL firearm laws if convicted will preclude you from owning ANY firearms . Not worth the chance. YMMV

    I sold a nice sxs to a gentleman in Canada. He had already done
    business through High Bridge in San Francisco. They sent a copy
    of their FFL and I shipped to them. Went just fine, they took care
    of everything after that.

    Has anyone used "I run guns" to ship to Canada. They have offices in both US and Canada. So far the process has been very easy. Just costs.
    My Canadian buyer contacted "I run guns", filled out a form, then sent a copy of "I run Guns" FFL licence and sent me money. Im supposed to ship the gun to " I run guns" here in the US.They send it to Canada.

    Sounds like an easy deal and no legal issues since Im sending it to and FFL dealer in the US?

    Anythoughts???

    As you surmise you ship to U.S. dealer 100% legal. get copy of FFl and make sure payment is GOOD

    The buyer is sending the payment Western Union. The only thing that seemed off was that the buyer sent me the FFL from the US dealer rather than comming straight from the dealer. I called them and asked about it. They offered to send it to me again. I guess it makes the buyer more accountable if he's the one requesting the gun be sent to the dealer and sending the FFL
