Is there such a thing...

Anything under $ 100 that is firearms related does not require an export permit. Exception being ammo and receiver which require an end user certificate.  Nor can a person who is in possession of it , if they are not an American citizen . Accessories I.E. slings or mounts no export or import permits required . If the parts is worth more then $ 100 then you need all the permits. There are local manufactures and suppliers in Alberta that should be able to help you out.  What part is it that you need ?

Always declare what you have at the border. GST on $2000 is ONLY $100.
Getting caught to save on GST is soooooooo not worth it.

… What part is it that you need ?

I've ordered a rifle stock from http://www.sharpshootersupply.com
I think the cost came to like US$250 or so.
Like I said before, it's a part that doesn't change the category under which to intended bang-stick is classified under.

This has to do with ATF rules.  Tried finding the info on there web site but could not find what i was looking for. The export permit is from them and the import permit was from the Canadian side. The laws are continually changing . It used to be form 6 a .but now they changed it so i do not know what form it is now.  Pretty nice stock . How are you going to finish it with tung oil ?

I was gonna use Tru-Oil, but I'm not sure how it's gonna turn out, as I've ordered the "Triple-Black".
Planning on trying it in the magazine well or on the butt to see how it looks, (and maybe do a 2nd or 3rd coat to darken) and either complete it, or sand it off and try something else.

The bang-stick itself is a heavy stainless with a crappy composite stock. The stock is pre-accustock, and flexes too much, wrong shape where it needs to be, no comb, fore-end too narrow, weighted funny, blaa-blaa-blaa. That's what I get for going budget, rather than spending a bit more for a quality OE stock.

Then a better scope… There really is too many things to spend money on. I really have to learn to leave things well enough alone.  


Maybe I'll talk to some of the local shops about the import, and see what their opinions are. For something like this, I want my ducks in a row.

Not familiar with triple black but tru oil is pretty dam good stuff as you can touch it up real easy when you put a scuff or srape on it.   Gonna bed it your self as well ?  My husky was the same way got a crack in it so N & s Stocking out of leader made me a stock with half inch more comb and an inch and a quarter less length of pull out of a select grade of walnut. It fits me real well. He did the inletting and I finished it. Well it,s never finished got a piece of purple heart ond african black wood for the fore end and under the grip and I picked up a set of checkering tools .     Did not mean to scare you and the american laws , just do not want to get some one in trouble.  Sept 18 there is a gun show at thorncliffe community centre go there and ask all the quistions with all the dealers.

Oh wow, that's way more class than I want in a gopher slayer.

The stock I ordered is a laminate wood, each layer can be ordered to be a different colour. Up to three layers. I wanted to keep the shiny on black look, so the "triple-black" wood colours. Plus it comes fully bedded and inlet. The only thing they can't provide is the stainless trigger guard as mine is integrated with the synthetic stock. But they are including swivel studs, the same LOP, and fully bedded. I just have to transfer the action over to the new one, and tighten the three bolts.
Not sure how the Tru-Oil will turn out, as I think the actual oil is brown and stains brown, and the wood is black-ish. I'll take some before/after's to show the difference.

SharpShootSupply came recommended by other small calibre owners down south. They specialize in the Savage actions, and have the actions to pre-bed the stock.
I like the synthetic stocks, but for some reason, I grow more and more dissatisfied with mine every time I go out with it. It's just not comfortable. It is ridiculously accurate, but I feel it could be "better".

Wow, this thread got really off-topic!

There is a thread in alberta outdoorsman about importing  bang stuff  in the guns and ammo section .
