Barrett .50 Cal's are available in Canada!
- Thread starter Wolverine Supplies Sales
- Start date
it's just kind of an iconic firearm in terms of 50 cal weaponry. more specifically sniper rifles. Much like the m2 .50 cal machine gun, Ak47s, and M16s. it is Iconic to it's particular class and role. Ask someone who knows nothing about guns to name a 50 cal rifle and their response 9 times out of 10 will be Barrett
so my question is. when and how did this happen?

I've been dreaming of buying one of these since the day I first saw one at my local Ontario gun show, over 25 years ago, and they cost just only a little less then. I gave up all hope of ever owning one, Santa does exist!!!
Seriously though, how long do I have to save funds, when are these expected to penetrate our border and make it into our lowly civilian hands?

Next Rifle for Gopher Season . NOT. Anyway Thanks USA and the RCMP for letting the rifle come into Canada. Barrett has a office Edmonton. Albertans who maybe interested can Import the rifle through the office in Edmonton. Sorry Wolverine the prices you post is to high for my middle aged taste. Wolverine has great web site. Would like to make Visit to LOUIS REIL , CUSTER LAST stand COUNTRY.
Back in 2004 on American TELY , somehow the Thaliban some how got a hold of these rifles.
I doubt it. Pelican have an office in Edmonton as well, you cant deal direct with the company. That would piss off the stores that carry there products.
As for Wolverine bieng too expensive? I dont think they are, and there service is second too none!!!
Custer's last stand was in Manitoba? No one ever told us.

Shame that the M82A1CQB isn't legal in Canada :'(
The US DOS is letting a lot come through now:
- 5.56 OK
- threaded bbls OK
- FH/MB's OK
- Sub 16.1 bbls OK
- 50 BMG ok
so the thing is this - the mfgr has to be a registered exporter and the items have to be exported with approval. Quote from DOS export controls officer - "if your country will allow you to have it, who are we to say you can't". This is a MARKED changed in foreign policy. Don't expect it to last with the re-election. There will be a change in gun laws down south I am willing to bet. How that will affect exports - I don't know. So basically the thing that holds stuff up, is cost and Canadian laws.
