Federal regs. I've bought bullets from private US citizens and customs doesn't seem to mind, but then it's the old left and right hand deal, I think.
: Yes - dealers can buy from the Statres, as I said above. Retailers, for some reason, can rarely be prodded to order directly from the States - they mostly will only order from Canadian Wholesalers who sometimes are also reluctant or not intelligent enough to order special items. Rarely will they do anything 'extra'. It's the 'Wait long enough and maybe he'll go away, system here. For 2 years now, I've been trying (re-ordered several times) to get a scope mount to fit my M96 Muser's rear sight bracket. I can buy that part directly from the States myself as it isn't a 'gun part' but 2 years ago, I would have to have pay something like $160.00 CDN for the $75.00 US part. I was unwillng to pay double for it - still am.
; Items declared to be 'gun parts' must not exceed $100.00 value or an FFL is required for importation into Canada. some items such as scopes and bullets are not allowed to be purchased by Canadian citizens.
