Hi Guys,

Slight problem ... maybe somebody can help or suggest a work-around. For some inexplicable reason, Browning North America will not mail Browning firearms owner's manuals to Canada. On their website they do offer them to American addresses only.

I've lost mine, and really need a new one because I'm passing-along my beloved (and mint) Browning .22 Auto take-down rifle to the young daughter of a friend of mine. It'll be a gift from her dad ... I owe him a big favour.

I've got the original box and even a custom-made two-piece leather case, but no owner's manual ... which would be an important item for a young owner like this.

Any idea of how to get one in Canada? Perhaps an American viewing this site could order one (they're free and easy to get from Browning.com) and mail it to me. I'll naturally pay the postage.

Incidentally, her dad is one of the top outfitters here in Alberta.

Thanks, but I'd like it to be the real thing...

Hi Mr. P,

Many thanks for the response, but I want the manual to be The Real Thing. I am not a collector or anything ... this firearm is so mint that I want it to look like it just came from Miroku ... in its original mint case and with the original owner's manual.

Damn ... I wish I had an American relative. That's all that's really needed.

Browning deserves a kick-in-the-ass for their sh*tty policy.

And please don't tell me that it's a State Department edict ... I can live with restrictions on Generation 3 night-vision doodads ... but a safety-related owner's manual on a 100-year-old .22 rifle? The clowns in Morgan are incredibly stoopid, or just think that Canadians are unworthy POS consumers.

Grrr ... I'm cheesed-off. That's a premium rifle.
