HELP! US gun part shipped to Canada

[smoothshooter]

Shipping anything gun-related to the socialist country of Canada is asking for trouble.

I understand that the Canadian people have the same problem as the French people

Actually, quite the opposite…

I’ve talked to my Canadian counterparts, and explained ITAR. Pretty much they had zero cares on what people bring across, unless it is a gun/receiver, suppressor/parts or full auto fire control parts. It is what that makes ITAR hard to enforce, until you get into like the Lockheed Martin realm.

But I’ve also had that same agency call me to say they have a full auto Glock. Told them if that’s the case, and it isn’t a registered MG or he is the correct FFL, this side can do a lot more than just destroy the gun (their plan). They believed it was a MG because the Glock 30 had “.45 Auto” on the side. Then an expert firearms guy from another agency told them, “the gun isn’t full auto, but the ammo is.” I still laugh about that each time we interact with them.

Dropping a small part in a padded envelope and mailing without a return address is going to be real hard to trace back to the person mailing it. Just don't leave finger prints on any of the packaging. This assumes mail goes across the border easily, I have never sent anything myself.

I imagine that the supplier wants to take no risks, just to be doubly safe. What year is your revolver?

I don't know the date but the serial number is 36894 so clearly antique. Our laws put the "antique" status date at 1898 whereas yours is 1899. I know that the RCMP data base has these revolvers into the 45,000's serial range as antique so for sure mine is legal.

I've had things sent to me from the US, including several pistols as well as a part off Guns International without any problems from customs of either of our countries.

Then, there's the tariff...

UPDATE!! The gentleman from whom I purchased the pistol did me a solid and ordered a new sear from Jack First Gun Parts and then shipped it to me. After some cussin and frustration, I got the new sear installed to discover it was both the sear and the hammer notch contributing to the "push off" problem. I have some Swiss files and found the one I needed to slightly and carefully redress the notch on the hammer, managed to get the whole thing reassembled and now it works like a charm. To all of you fellas who shared your knowledge and concerns with me, a big "Thank You" from this old Canuck. You have the right to see what the finished product looks like. Enjoy.

That's a beauty, glad you got her up and running after navigating all the bureaucratic bs.
