certified mag pinners

[truenorth777]

let's say a good price on 20 or 20 round rifle mags was found in the U.S., is it possible to have them shipped to a certified person or business who would then pin them to 5 rounds for a person to legally own in canada?
if so, who would these persons/businesses be? and what would they likely charge? [in other words is it worth the bother financially].

I think they have to be pinned prior to importation. What I used to do was have some mags sent to a friends place in the US, go down with rivet gun, and pin them myself.

Again, US export controls apply.
The export of gun parts by other than a licenced exporter is a federal offence.

Any probs crossing the border or having them delivered back, once pinned?

get the exporter to pin them

Once pinned they're compliant. But you still need export papers for any gun parts.

...doesn't that not apply to totals under $100 [before shipping] ?

 

[tiriaq]

Gun parts generally cannot be exported by anyone other than a licenced exporter.
The $100 exemption from a shipment specific export permit applies to licenced exporters.

Nope. Still has to be a licensed exporter. Just less paperwork for them to do under $100. If you try to smuggle out $90 worth of gun parts from the US, and the Americans catch you, it's big time crime.

That was years ago, prior to ITAR garbage..
