    I'm not sure of their current pricing but Sports Action in Ottawa was selling the 795 Promag for $20.99.

    $36.99Cdn for a $14.99US mag. Amazing.
    However, a mag is a mag. ITAR applies to .22 mags too. Plus you get into Canadian rules about how much you can spend and bring back according to the time away.

    Canada doesn't care what you bring in. The U.S. can charge you federally, not without proper paperwork and export permits. If you have an exit check while leaving the U.S. and they find them, your screwed.

    I don't think you'll get flamed, at least I won't flame you, but it's just not worth the risk. The one time you do get caught will greatly outweigh any advantage gained by all the times you didn't.

    Importing them is okay. Exporting them is illegal and a federal offence. I have seen US custom stop and search Canadian vehicles as there leaving.

    You've been looking for these mags for a while now. Many people here, including myself, have suggested some place to try. Do they not have them in stock? Even if they're $20 cheaper over the border, is really not worth the hassle. Time to bite the bullet and just get them.

    Also, please don't listen to the guy that smuggled stuff out of the U.S, that is such an incredibly stupid way of getting into trouble. Get caught, you'll be lucky if you are only invited to never, every visit the states again. Not lucky? See you in a couple years.
