They are of a design in production prior to 1945, so they are most likely not controlled on this side of the border any more.,
The relevant paragraph of what is controlled is this:
Guns, howitzers, cannon, mortars, anti-tank weapons, projectile
launchers, military flame throwers, rifles, recoilless rifles, smooth-bore
weapons and signature reduction devices therefor, first
manufactured after 1945, and the following components:
1.Frames or receivers;
2.Barrels; or
3.Breech closing mechanisms.
Getting it out of the US may be another problem, although I believe they made similar changes on some of their non-US produced military goods, using the date 1956 rather than 1945.

No problem, let us know how it works out, and if confiscated, who does the confiscation. I think it may still be a controlled item for export in the US, but you'll have to do your own research on that one.
Springfield Sporters and Liberty Tree Collectables both have them but will not ship to Canada. Springfield will not deal with you if you try to send it for legal exporting. Liberty Tree may send to legal exporter I haven't tried them that route. They show up on Gunbroker occasionally but I have not seen anyone that ships to Canada. Good luck.
Add another item to my must buy list... Lol
What parts do you need on the rifle to properly attach this? I've got a sportier, probably need a new rifle to fit it...
You would require the original nose cap, the cup has a latch that clips onto the nose cap. The cup style will only fit a NO1 different launcher for the NO4. I m guessing your sporter has had nose cap removed
