The real problem is that they used ivory at all, making travel with the rifle across political borders now virtually impossible because of the zero tolerance ivory ban. I inherited some elephant tusk carvings of Samurai from 18th c. Japan and I know something about transporting ivory across international borders. Its very difficult, even with 250 year old antique art works. Looks like this rifle is staying in Canada.
Forget ivory bans....Now that they (CITES) have added Bubinga wood to the list of banned rosewoods (even though it is not endangered and is not even a real rosewood) it will likely be impossible to get this rifle across international borders, particularly anywhere in Africa, simply because of the wood in the stock.
