brokerage is not to be confused with duty...brokerage fees are what you pay (your customs broker) for something to clear customs on top of the taxes (GST/PST/HST whatever) you have to pay to the canadian customs and revenue agency.
export licenses from us state dept costs money too...what is it now $250?
considering these rifles are sold by JRA for the price of $1300, add an export permit, shipping, brokerage...the margins are probably getting pretty slim
Sure, if there were ####loads of these available, and judging from the posts above, they are only available in extremely limited numbers, and the next batches will be priced higher. If anything, this will drive the price of original issued beater rifles even higher....
It's getting a little bit Sunday around here.....
check you local hunting synopsis there will be a mag cap limit seperate for "Hunting" than for the legal mag regs under the federal firearms regs. for target etc. generally 5 for rifle , garand has a 5 round for hunting in bc but 8 for non hunting due to the "mag" exemption

GARAND CLIPS FOR SALE - OP RODS AND TRIGGERS TOO
You mean in 18 years I can't sell this and pay for my kids tuition? Damn. Who said anything about collectability? My question was simple what recievers were they being built on, instead of an legitimate answer I got a bunch of jibber jabber and an opinion that I could give two ####s about. I have enough collector garands as it is now and it's more then then 2 so anyone on here that got one it would be nice to share what kind of reciever yours is built on, again probably SA but who knows
“Okay, I reckon the hare gets ####ed”
“What, Proper ####ed”
First- I do not buy it as a collectible. Yes, i did purchase, like you, Garand at $350 and sold them for $1000 a few year after. What make you think that the JRA Garand will not hike in price at the same rate ( even better) than a beater Garand ? A like new Garand will hold it's value equal or even better than an old part gun. I get guns to shoot them - not to let them sit in the safe or to make money. If the market is such that I make money on it when I sell it - fine. But right now - I am getting a like new - SAFE - Garand with a new MATCH barrel, refinished, new stock and all, and build by a professional gunsmith that know Garand, for $1600. If I had to build one up - just importing the good parts will be a big pain in the aXX and even after the build, and it will not be equal to a JRA or Fulton.
Many pay BIG $$ to get a match barrel on Garand or just to replace a shot out barrel. One says that the only accurate gun are interesting and I subscribe to that. For the real collectors, it is another story. In am not in this sport to hit barn doors at 50 feet.
Lol. Lots of interesting facts in this thread! But lets stay on topic, when are more of these going to be available?
