First of all, big thanks to all of you for the orders, we appreciate your support! I will try to answer all your questions.
We only charge federal taxes for all provinces outside of Ontario except Quebec.
We do offer pick up at the shop, this is one of the shipping options at checkout and will remove your shipping fees, keep in mind all pickup must be by appointment.
We are currently standing by for more specs on the rifle; barrel length and manufacturer, what stock, sights included, availability in 7.62x39. We will post the info here as it arrives.
Those who think we hiked the price up by 100$ because they were selling well, we encourage you to reach out to the distributor and get the full story. We were told, 3 hours after posting here, that there was a mistake in the initial pricing and we were asked to correct this. The distributor will 100% back this up.
Based on past experiences (IE the OIC), you can take possession of a firearm that is banned by OIC so long as there is an invoice for the item dated before the OIC. That said, in the past, distributors we've dealt with have opted not to ship affected firearms to us unless they were registered with the CFP as prohibited prior to shipment. Essentially, if we have the item in stock then we can fulfill the order even if the legal status of the firearm changes. Its more complicated if we have a preorder with the distributor.
