Trying to import firearms and some accessories (such as scopes) to Canada from the U.S. can be an impossible, or a costly and/or troublesome process. Many of the difficulties (around "regular" hunting firearms) are not because of Canadian import laws, but are based in the U.S. export laws, particularly those connected to their "Homeland Security" regulations. I'm just wondering what sort of restrictions/procedures U.K. citizens might face in attempting to import guns from Canada. I know we are a much smaller market, and the price differentials may not seem as advantageous as U.S. purchases, but could purchases from Canada be more easily arranged in terms of meeting regulatory requirements?
The reason I ask, is that I do see some real cost differentials, especially in the used market, and I believe Canadian export laws are far less restrictive than those of the U.S. ... no, I'm not in the business, and I don't have anything I'm trying to sell...
