Just wondering if you Canadian Gun Guru's could help..

Im looking at a Tactical Solutions .22 kit for a Glock 17 and the place im looking at only ships to the US.

If I had it sent there and picked it up would I be able to bring it back. I mean technically it is only considered parts. The Frame on a Glock is what is registered.

But, at the same time I dont want to try this unless I am 1000% sure that it is legal... I could only imagine
 
A guy at work is looking for a .22 cal conversion kit for a S&W M&P 40 cal .
And he asked if it was legal bring it across himself and I didnt know the answer either.
 
why not? do you have to register this kit when you buy in Canada? As I am aware, that No. Call CFO and ask.
 
Canada doesn't care but the barrel may be considered a critical part by the Americans and require export permits.
.22lr barrels used to be OK but that may have changed.....
Wanstalls is now bringing in Tactical Solutions products, maybe they can help you out?

:agree:

You do not need a valid firearms licence under Canadian law to import non-prohibited firearm parts (except for a frame/receiver). However, as indicated below, you may need an export permit from the other country.

You "need" and export permit.
 
If you want to know what you need a US export permit for, which as a Canadian you cannot personally get, contact the US Dept of State, Directorate of Defense Trade Controls at w ww.pmddtc.state.gov

They do not have a 'list' but you can contact them, tell them what you want and they'll officially tell you the bad news (not always but almost always bad news).

Barrels need permits. Firearm parts, no matter how small, need permits. If the manufacturer does not have their paperwork, the parts cannot be exported even by a licensed US exporter.

You many wish to contact the manufacturer and ask them if they have a Canadian distributor and go from there.

Best of luck.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but does this imply i need export permits for firing pins and extractors and such?
 
Gun parts can be exported from the US by a licenced exporter.
A licenced exporter will be a US business.
The conversion kit will need the licenced exporter to obtain a specific export permit.

You cannot get a US export licence.
If you have the kit sent to a US address, and carry it back yourself, you are violating US federal law. If tagged at an exit check, you will be in for a very bad day.

This is nothing to do with Canadian law.

OOPS! I guess I misread the "Tactical Solutions" brand part of the OP. Me bad, but maybe Wolverine can import them? Good luck.

The answer simply is YES. Pretty much any firearm part needs an export permit, not matter how small or how cheap. But things like slings are OK but the rings that attach to the firearm are probably not. For some strange reason scope rings are OK for export without permit but the scope may or may not need an export permit.

If in doubt, contact the US Dept of State Directorate of Defence Trade Controls or the US Dept of Commerce (for shotgun stuff) as they are the keepers of the ITAR regulations. You'd think they would have a nice clean list of what can be exported but to tell the truth, they don't. You pretty much have to contact them and then possibly the original part manufacturer (because each part manufacturer has to be licensed or their parts can't leave the US).

And don't forget, if you're a Canadian citizen, you can't get the export permit in the first place so you'll probably need a US business to do the export for you.

I just call Brownells. If they can export it, I buy from them. If they can't export it, it probably can't be done legally.
 
Post a WTB in the EE.
That's what I did and a dealer stepped up with an AA kit at a reduced price.
Had it in 5 days of post.
