What is the latest news on the availability on the FN PS90 and FS2000. I have heard that people are trying to bring them in, has there been any success?
 
AFAIK the US won't issue export permits for them. You'd have to get them from another country. You should be able to get import permits as there are already both in the country.
 
There's really no news. Someone in particular tried to bring quite a few in, but the method wasn't entirely kosher with the government(s) and now everything is at a stand still. Probably won't ever be resolved.

I don't think a canadian would end up in jail for violating another countries export procedures. He broke no Canadian laws.

If anything, he will be sitting helplessly as his shipment of 24 rifles sits and rots in a government warehouse, and maybe face a fine.

The exporter or the importer?

The exporter in America will face big consequences because he broke laws in his own country.

The importer was bringing in products that were legal for resale within Canada, so there would be nothing more then a slap on the wrist. If he is facing any jail time, I would imagine it would be for GST evasion, failure to declare the products to customs, or some other violation of Canadian law. In other words, a crime committed within Canada that violated Canadian law.

Convicted already. Now serving time. There were other charges such as possession of normal capacity magazines and illegal importation of ammunition. The individual fraudulently imported the rifles by forging documents with another persons FRT details.
 
Wow, crazy... wasn't this individual recently selling off his collection to move to the US or was that code for "the big house"?

Damn. I still remember being tempted to jump in on that group buy "deal"... so glad I didn't.

But yeah, I wonder how much time will be served for those crimes - a few months? (I'm just curious of the severity for falsifying documents, etc. with regards to importing firearms)

if you don't know what happened, why do you even speak about it?
 
I thought I did know what happened (which is why I was surprised about the jail time)... but apparently I don't know what happened. Oh well, no sweat off my sack.
