Hello and welcome CGNer's!

We at North Sylva are proud to work with our dealers from coast to coast to provide Canadian firearms enthusiasts with a wide variety of firearms, ammunition, and accessories to satisfy the needs of the weekend plinker all the way up to the serious big game hunter.

The purpose of this forum is to update consumers of new and exciting products making their way to the Canadian market and where they can find them. Also to keep the public updated on rulings and other legal decisions that effect the sport that we love and the products that we buy.

Please note that our company does NOT sell to the public. And due to that we will not be listing pricing on any of our upcoming items. However, we would be more than happy to point you in the direction of the stocking dealer closest to you.

Please also note that this is not a discussion forum. While we will be more than happy to answer any questions about products and availability, we ask that all discussions regarding products are best kept in their appropriate forums.

If you have any questions please feel free to send a PM. However we ask that you don't phone our facility directly as we are already overwhelmed due to dealer inquiries.

We look forward to continuing our tradition of providing the Canadian firearms community with the very best in products and service.
 
First thing I thought about was the status of the 2010 TF 3-09 pistol order from Para. But I know North Sylva probably can't answer that question and neither can Para! Lol
 
Its our understanding that your company will be importing 107mm smith and Wesson 686's in the near future. Is there an accurate time line? and for those who miss this first boat, is there consideration for a second order?
Thankyou

Thanks for your interest. This is one of our priorities and it will be addressed with a thread of it's own in the next day or so.

Stay tuned.

Seems a few posts have been deleted from this thread for some reason? With a zero trader rating and only 3 posts, why would posts be deleted from this thread. To my recollection, there were three posts that mentioned about people having visited the warehouse and show room of this company, nothing negative was said about them to my knowledge. I wonder how long it will be before this post is deleted. Very curious.

This is because North Sylva is a distributor - like FN sports, Europeans Arms, Stoeger, ....etc, and they supply a lot of the products that are sold by dealers here at CGN.

The posts deleted are about people visiting their warehouse.....and those are really exceptional occurances rather than the norm.

They do not retail - they import and supply retailers. They do not open the door to walk-in visit. They simply do not want people to have the idea that they can walk into the office and see stuff, because they are literally a warehouse and an office attached to the front. Actually, they will not even open the door if they do not know who your are or why you are there. If you run a distributor/warehouse operation, you really do not want people start randomly knocking on your door!

It is great that they are here - because now everyone will get the real and accurate first hand information about when things are actually coming in - straight from the horsemouth and the people who actually import the guns.

So when people said things are coming in "in 2 weeks" - you know the real scoop because the importer is actually the one who knows when things will hit the shelf.

Which M&P SKU models are available?

The S&W M&P has proven to be very popular. The only major reservation that I have about the M&P is the fact that most of the M&P pistols available in Canada are equipped with a magazine disconnect, while in the U.S., where the consumers in most states have the freedom to choose, most M&P pistols are sold without this "feature". Different retailers have informed me that North Sylva's M&P product selection is limited and weighed heavily toward models with magazine disconnectors. Is this true?

Why is the no-magazine disconnect M&P so hard to find in Canada?

Which M&P SKU numbers are actually available from North Sylva?

Will North Sylva import other models, including SKU models that have the marking "CAUTION: CAPABLE OF FIRING WITH MAGAZINE REMOVED", if they are ordered by a dealer?

Hi Wendell,

The problem with the M&P is the fact that there are many SKU numbers available from S&W but many of those are not legal in Canada. Sometimes due to barrel length or magazine capacity. Also some of those SKU's have certain options like night sights or some other features that we may not require because we already have other SKU's with similar options.

However the model's with the factory magazine disconnect can be modified at our facility by our S&W armourer to remove this feature from any M&P that has it. It can be ordered through your local dealer and is only a nominal fee to have the modification done. It won't have the warning on the side of the pistol, but will perform exactly the same.

To list every SKU of the M&P that we carry is a little time consuming due to the number that we carry. Your best option is to pick a SKU that your interested in and send us a PM. We would be happy to let you know if it's a model that we stock.

Thanks,
 
Thank you for the reply.
