Posting this for anyone that is looking for same and has access to US pickup/shipping. Being from Niagara originally, this trip back from Muskoka and across the border is well worth it.

Canadian Pricing - $259.99 to $335 on Amazon
US Price at this link - $59.99US

The hiccup is this if you have access. The website restricts Cdn orders by IP but, if you call, they will complete the purchase if sent to a US address.

Listen folks... I just posted this to help anyone looking. YOU CANNOT get this anywhere in Canada for under $259 before tax, if it isn't on backorder. If you are going to **** on me for trying to help others out, post the link. I would love love love to buy same through a Canadian seller anywhere near this price. I just pointed out Amazon due to its high price but if we are ghoing to crap on anyone, crap on all the Canadian companies selling this same set at $259 plus. You won't get it lower.

Shipping and crossing the border are two very different things when it comes to gun parts coming out of USA.

If this product is ITAR controlled crossing the border can get you in a lot of trouble, whereas with shipping the liability is on the person shipping it across the border. I have no idea if this is ITAR or not though.

That would make me think it is in fact ITAR controlled.

OP i strongly suggest you do your research on ITAR and determine whether this part falls under it. Would be a real shame to be banned from the USA for the rest of your life just because you wanted to save a few bucks.
 
Apparently, it is not ITAR controlled, and technically not even EAR controlled as it is under $100 in value, therefore, no licence or paperwork required...apparently. There are a ton of threads here that have discuissed this, abeit some are dated but they still point you directly to where you can go. But I am glad I posted this as we can always run into the over-rambunctious CBSA worker who reads things incorrectly and next thing you know you are flagged. Order cancelled. I travel to and from the US very frequently and sure as heck don't need that. Who would have ever thought a picatinny rail could have raised so much alarm here ehhehheh?

I will stand my ground though in my stating that, we are massively overcharged on such. I have been searching for same for two days and can't get this in my hands in Canada for under $300... which is simply wrong.
