Hey guys!

Noobie here. I was wondering if anyone has any experience obtaining a firearm from MARSTAR in Canada; any hiccups/difficulties in the import, etc? Is this outfit a reputable dealer? Can a guy just go up to Canada and purchase a firearm legitimately and come back down to the lower 48 with the goods in their possession? I really don't want to find myself in the crosshairs of the feds. Thanks!

The way I understand it there is no legal way to purchase a weapon in Canada and have it shipped here. That is why things are priced using the Canadian Dollar and so much cheaper up there. We just have to read the prices on things like SVT's and such and weep. Legally you can not go up there and buy something like a gun and bring it back either. I don't even think they will sell it to you in the first place. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. And now the final Coup De Gra years ago when it was legal Marstar was a great company to deal with. Bummer huh? Bill

So what if a Canadian wanted to go on a ...lets say a hog hunt down in the US.

He would be allowed to bring his own rifle down with him would he not?

And lets say he forgot (wink wink) to bring it home with him,wouldn't that be a bummer for the Canuck...lol

It would be a shame to "wink-wink" yourself into a Federal Prison for ten years in order to save $500.00 on a rifle. I would advise that anyone just save their coins and buy one through the normal channels. Just not worth the risks.

Yeah then just think about when your cellmate starts winking at you! Bill

First of all I don't really have any friends in the USA so no I wouldn't do it but I'm sure it has been done.

Just like Americans bringing up handguns for (so called friends)...but you are correct sir...Keep it legal..

In prison, once you get the wink wink, you can bet that what follows will be more than a wink, while someone back home is shooting your guns that had to be sold.

I hate when Candians post about svt40s. But they hate when I post about AKs so it comes full circle.
