RE:Transfer of a shotgun reciever to the US ?

[Benny]

Any one ever buy a shotgun or rifle reciever form a Canadian seller?

I just bought one off an auction site only to find out my FFL dealer can't do a transfer.He said it would have to go through an importer to do a transfer from Canada to the US.

Thanks, Benny

Benny,

I'm thinking you're SOL. Because of 9-11, no firearms or parts can come across. You can pay an importer to do it, but they got ya by the short hairs. Unless this receiver is very special, I would write the aution house or the seller and tell them it can't be done.

I'm a custom gunsmith just north of Pine River, MN, and have tried to get some obslolete European gun parts from a few dealers in Canada, they won't ship not even through the export gougers. There none to happy. I go Canada about 3-4 times a year, so the guys up there let the word out I'm coming. I fill my tool box with what I think I'll need and spend one whole day fixin'. Luckily one of the fella's has a hobby machine shop he lets me use if needed.

What really sucks is I had applied for a Canadian firearms license so I can bring guns to Canada, only mine and they have to return with me. I can even purchase firearms legally in Canada, BUT, cannot bring them back. So much for free trade!!

Acording to the seller and the ATF web site a licensed dealer can aply for a form #6 and do a one time import for private use or for a non licensee.

But other dealers have said the same thing as you.So I may have to use an importer or loose my money.

Do you know any reliable importers close to Nova Scotia CA.??

Thanks, Benny

Sorry, I don't. I guess you could spend an evening on the internet searching.

Benny,

If the mods will leave the link, try this. I purchased Beretta parts from them.
