I ordered a kit from exotic-firearms.com last week. It shipped right away but it's been sitting awaiting clearing agency review for a few days. I think that's a bad sign. I"ll update this when I know more.
Has anyone here gotten into trouble for trying to import this stuff?

This is interesting to me... have you considered rebarreling an existing launcher? I think dlask had some. Iirc they were cheap ($500ish)... depending on who did the job I'd guess it would be $500ish more to have a barrel made up. Where you'd get a 37mm rifled barrel blank I have no clue.
Exotic Firearms told me the only thing they can't ship to Canada is primers and ammo.
I received my order without any customs problems, probably just got lucky.
My order contained a bunch of "flying fish" fuze in different colours. This is not considered hazardous goods apparently.
Really it's just like a box of craft supplies...bits of cardboard and plastic, stuff that looks like coloured string etc.
I already have a Ordnance Group launcher I got thru another dealer (before Western Metal carried these). It's not quite as cool as the one in the OP's pic but it does work. If I can get proficient at making my own ammo I might buy an upgrade.
For now I ordered the Deluxe 37mm reloading starter kit. It doesn't have primers or powder so I hope I'm okay with CBS.
A rather expensive flare gun...

Honestly, for myself it would end up being a really expensive long range game of bocce ball.
It'll be a hit at the family reunion!
I use MLR Distributing for my reloads. You can't order from the site, but you can email them and they will ship to Canada - hulls and the loading kits. No primers or hazardous stuff. I use their aluminum hulls and they work awesome.
