Experience buying in the US and bringing across?

As far as I know they don't ship airguns into Canada do they?
Having a hard time finding a QB-78 up here and thinking of rebuilding a new custom from them (which will put it over the unregulated firearms velocity limit).
Sweet. Thanks RobertMcC!
I haven't looked at airgun shops in Canada in a long while.
.I can do the drop ins myself so not too biggie. Wicked

I knew I came across a place that sold IB. When I was looking for a IZH60.

If you were in the US, even if the FPS is over 495, you can still bring it back to Canada as long as you have a PAL. I'm not sure how shipping works on a gun over 495fps but in the US they aren't considered firearms. People also get black powder firearms sent here from the US as they also aren't considered firearms down there.

Yes, if you bought an air rifle down there that was ,lets say 1000 FPS, buying it there would be no problem as they aren't considered firearms so don't have the same restrictions. When you get to the Canadian border, you would have to show your pal to prove you are qualified to own a 1000 FPS rifle. You will have to pay the taxes on it.
Same goes with black powder rifles/shotguns. In fact, I have a brother who lives in Minnesota. Just recently he was telling a gunsmith down there about a muzzleloader I have. This gunsmith makes custom muzzleloaders and would like to see it so he said next time I go to Minnesota he wants me to bring it. He too said black powder firearms can be brought back and forth because the firearm restrictions don't apply.

Just to clarify any doubts. Just brought A 1200 FPS Pellet gun across the border. No hassle, no worry. We went down for 48 hours so we were well below out 800.00$ exemption. Declared the gun at the booth, along with receipt and PAL. Had to go inside for 2 minutes to answer a few questions and show my PAL again. Completely painless. They never even asked to see the gun in question. Saved about 150$ as opposed to buying the exact same one here.
http://www.dlairgun.com is Canadian. buy your guns here and the accessories you can is the US. guns are usually cheaper here if you figure in the exchange rate.
