Things have changed down there, when I was there the military was still in charge....

A lot of interesting activities in those days....

You sound like a bit of a virgin in arms trade, so allow me a moment to explain....

If we bring in a container load of scrap,
Prepare detailed shipping documents with serial numbers....
I must pay inland trucking to the port which is about $500.... + $500. for police & military "escort"
Filing detail reports through our broker for Canada Customs....
Then sea shipping of around $8,500. to Montreal....
Brokerage fees of around $1,100....
Pay the GST on the shipment....
Customs inspection around $1,100....
Trucking to our warehouse....$500....
So far we have spent just over 12k getting them here....or about $6./gun

Labor for unloading , inspecting, checking serial numbers, registering the shipment, tagging the guns, entering into our system, etc, etc, figure $3./gun....

ONCE THEY ARE REGISTERED and only then we can decide what to scrap
The we list all the scrap serial numbers
File a report with the CFO listing all those destined for destruction,
File a report with the RCMP/CFC requesting a deregistration of the weapons in question....

SEE how simple it is ?? Then of course sell the left over good ones really cheap.... Don't forget we have spent about $12./gun thus far....

We have NOT included the purchase price and in country costs....

Like I have said NOT REALISTIC, unless I can sell you a container load FOB site and you do the rest ?? How about it ?? Really cheap and then you can give them away

Barry Sadler:
ballad of the green berets.
i belive he wrote fiction vietnam books under the name "Helm" about an "a-team".
sad ending.from what i heard he shot himself playing with his pistol in a taxi with a mexican "lady" while inebriated...

thats what i recollect,not from searching the web...
