Hi guys, I am very frustrated in my attempts to make gun part purchases from the US. I order pieces, then I get 6 forms attached to my 'order on hold' email??? I am not ordering ICBM's or full auto 50's but mere bottom metal or reloading dies. I cannot find a CDN dealer for HS Precision bottom metal and nobody in BC can create rcbs p/n 13606 7mm reloading dies? Even a 20 moa picitanny base for a model 700 Rem is out of the question for some reason. I welcome, invite any & all comments, suggestions & ideas.
CDN dealers more than welcome
Thanks for your input

you can find the picatiny rails for rem700 Everywhere in canada. As precicion mentioned, ATRS will carry most of it,
Far as dies go, italian sporting goods, wolverine, Valley Firearms, Prophet River, or whoever would carry 7mm dies. also buying from the US is just too painful. I live 15 mins from us boarder and 1 hour drive to a very nice sporting goods store, they will sell you about anything for reloading supplies but nothing that will attach to a rifle except hunting scope. I imagin it will be worst for shipping from US.
Brownells used to ship me shell holders and dies for any caliber if you cant find any canadian dealer that carry them
 
Anything that has a pic rail is ITAR controlled so it's not allowed leave the US without the proper documentation.

Dies on the other hand is considered tooling so they're good to go.
 
Maybe you are just asking the wrong dealers?

Ask HS directly if they have a Can dealer/dist still?

There are various other options for bottom metal for the Rem 700 SA. Some are backordered, others on the shelf.

The range of goods falling under ITAR grows and grows. Some companies have stopped shipping dies and other tooling may be on the Sh!t list soon enough.

Pretty quick, anything tied to the shooting sport will be regulated for export out of the US. It will still be available but it will cost what it costs. Licensing, processing, etc to get the goods up here continues to get pricier.

At least we are still 1/2 of what it costs everywhere else.

Been ordering Ken Farrell bases for years without any issues, Been ordering dies from Natchez, Sinclair, Russ Hayden, D&R and many other places with no issues, and as to gunstocks well, hit and miss. Some sell, some don't. Started making my own. Hell, even ebay allows barrels to be listed now.
 
Welcome to the US new world of export regulations... Canada is on the terrorist list (The fault of Lloyd Axworthy and Allan Rock) and as such many items are required to go through an import/export procedure... I don't think anyone in the US likes it any better than we do...

I spoke to a couple of guys in the USA and explained how ITAR is starving their firearms companies of export business and they were shocked. Most of them don't even know it is going on. The Canadian market is like 10% of the American one, but probably only 5% when you factor in that there are less gun owners per capita in Canada. 5% of 300 million bucks is still a lot of money though, because that's what some of those big boys do for revenue per year

That's Canada's fault for letting Axworthy and Rock get Canada classified the way they did. There are many countries in the world that the US does not have those export restrictions with. We need to get our politicians working on changing it... it is not the fault of the US.

The Canadian market is probably more like <1%. I spoke with a Remington Arms rep a few years ago down in Vegas and he told me that firearms sales in the state of Nevada alone are 5 times what they do in all of Canada.

I bet Clay at Prophet River can do better than these guys. They seem pretty price. Also there's a new company that is a sponsor at the AO forums: irungunz.com I've never used them but their cost on exporting a firearm is $100 per plus shipping etc.
 
Thanks for correcting my information. Have only been to their site once and haven't heard any feedback on them yet.
