Exporting my nighthawk Agent 1

[FoxAlpha]

As some of you may have seen not too long ago, I was selling my Nighthawk Agent 1 (Canadian #08) on here with little to no avail. Understandably, the Canadian market being as small as it is made for a lot of laughable offers but nothing concrete.

We turned our attention to the vast American market, and thanks to IRG’s export services, made it available to us.

Happy to say that because of this, and the vast number of collectors now available to us Canadians we were able to sell that same Agent 1 for over 8000.00 USD, which after the current exchange made for a nice hefty sale.

Thanks again IRG, it was a lengthy process but very well worth it!
Couldn’t recommend it enough.

8000 USD for a used pistol. Wow.

8000 USD for a used pistol. Wow.

There was only 50 made... so if someone wants it bad enough. They retailed for just under $7,000.00CAD from Wanstalls;

CONGRATULATIONS! I wish it could have stayed in Canada but glad to hear you got a great price on a great gun.

That is great to hear for you. Makes me want to post my rem 783!

Would really appreciate if you outlined the process and gave an idea on final costs involved...I have something that may fetch a far better price down there....

Congrats on the sale, glad you were able to find someone who appropriately valued its worth! Really disappointed that I didn't take advantage of the offer to try this thing before it moved on. It's a true work of art.

Did the nighthawk not have to be engraved with Irunguns etc.etc before entering the US? Did the buyer care or did you even have to tell the buyer?

If you're not putting that money towards the fight against the recent ban or covid front-line workers then who cares what you got..

Talk about a pointless comment.

Yes it did have to be engraved but the buyer knew that going into the deal. The buyer has numerous nighthawks including a few agent 1’s, but this was the only one he didn’t have, it being the Canadian edition.

Awesome for you and the buyer, you got what its worth and he added a nice piece to his collection. Just out of curiosity did you happen to see the engraving? Was it enough to ruin the looks? Where was it engraved? On the frame?

You only really have to consider the source....
But, that isnt worth the effort.
And the folks at IRG get paid for knowing their business not an easy task for the average joe

LOL.

Good for you.

Well out of my budget.

Unfortunately I didn’t get the opportunity to see the finished look after the engraving.
All I know is the buyer was happy with the end result and that was all that mattered to me.

Thanks for your input and once again congrats.

We have the option to export newly prohibited rifles do we not?

On the Canadian side yes, but as far as I was told the American side will not allow you to import things like an AR15 but I could be wrong. Best to email or call IRG and find out with certainty.
