There are some issues (again) with importing from the US. For several years the DoS has been trying to get all firearms and parts manufacturers registered with DoS, and to register they also need a $1700.00 fee.
Recently the DoS has been refusing to approve any export permits where the US manufaturer is not registered.
I have several BAT actions on the wrong side of the border at this very moment, awaiting BAT to get into compliance, which I understand they are, but it takes time.
Yet another reason we are building our own actions here in house.
