Wilson 1911 Parts in Canada?

Last I heard, Brownells wasn't currently applying for one-off export permits. This was because of the U.S. State Dept. export fee increases, which are huge. (A slide would require a permit.)

I hope that this has changed.

I ordered two Wilson 1911 parts from them yesterday. Got the "your order shipped" e-mail today. Funny - I tried to order Ergo grips and she said that the company that makes ergo hasn't applied for permits so she couldn't ship them. Wilson parts were fine though....:cool:

Right, but you kept your purchase to below $100, correct?
 
I bought some Ed Brown 8 round mags a few weeks ago from Brownells no problem. Order was over $100

:rolleyes: He said he wanted a slide.

I am looking primarily for a slide.

Order a slide.

See what happens.

Get back to us.

the 100 limit is such a pain in the butt. i ordered a bunch of small pieces . total was 160 and they emailed me saying i need a permit. i ended up splitting the order and had to pay the shipping twice. and there was a trigger i wanted to order the company doesnt have the export papers so i couldnt get it. it's dumb.
