Canadian gun transfer

hornet
About 3 or 4 months ago I asked some advice on how to get a hunting rifle into Canada. No one seemed to know excatly what to do and most of the advice was all negative. Basicly everyone said forget it, too much trouble. And it seems several people have asked about doing this and never gave any details. I do not know the gents handle who gave most of the commits.
Well I did not follow the advice and found out what had to be done. Guess what, all of the folks out there were wrong. The Canadian officals could not have been nicer and answered all of my questions and gave me the phone numbers of who to contact. The US State department was equally as helpfull. There is a lot of paper work to fill out but if you take you time and follow the instructions everything will go well. If anyone would be interestd in what it takes to ship a hunting rifle into Canada I will be glad to tell you the proper procedure. You can contact me at bkt76rpt79@aol.com

    Just an update on my Canadian gun transfer. I got word that my Canadian friend received his rifle a few days ago. It took 42 days to get it to him. Canadian customs did open the package and inspect the rifle and paper work, so if anyone is thinking about sending or selling a firearm to a Canadian it will be inspected. 42 days is a long time but with patichents and some people skills the ordeal will go smothly. Remember you will be dealing with Goverment officals. It seems there job is to make more paper work for regular folks to contend with. This can be done, it just takes paper work and a lot of waiting.
    My Canadian friend had to pay $90.00 Canadian to pick up the firearm, I do not know what this was for but I will find out when I get back from my hunting trip with him this year.
    And MR. Christian this can be done, I did it, and it did not take me 2 years as you so pointed out to me that it would. The Canadian people could not have been more helpful, again you were wrong on this point. Everything was done legaly, no behind the dooor deals. Have you even shipped a firearm to Canada? Please do not discourage people from legealy doing business in Canada. If I would have listen to your advice I would not have got my deal done.
