Canada gun parts ??

[golfrj]

Hey Gang, I have a buddy in British Columbia that wants me to send him some parts for a pistol (mags, springs,etc.) is that legal? I know some parts of Canada have tough laws but am unaware of parts shipment?? Thanks for your opinions, Jim

I think it's actually against the Code of Federal Regulations to ship firearms, or firearms "parts" (mags and springs would fall into this category) into Canada from the US...Lemme do some research on that

Q. Can I import parts for my firearm?

All imports are controlled by the Canada Border Services Agency.As a general rule, you may import a frame/receiver of a restricted or non-restricted firearm if you have a Possession and Acquisition Licence that is valid for that class of firearm. You need to register the frame/receiver before you bring it into Canada.

You may need an import permit or an International Import Certificate from the Export Controls Division of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade (DFAIT) for certain firearm parts, such as those made exclusively for a fully automatic firearm. For more information, call DFAIT at 1-;800-267-8376 or 1 613 996-2387, or send a fax to 1 613 996-9933.

I would prolly call em and ask
