I see muzzle brakes for sale in Canada for about $200 and the same one is on ebay in the USA for $69? Its sad that a company in Canada can import these muzzle brakes and probably get them for $30 and mark them up to $200 just because of these government import laws. How can a Canadian government allow Canadian companies to rip off the Canadian public same goes for booze and cigarettes. The cost of living is high enough so I guess Canadians can't have extras. Even worse if its manufactured in Canada the prices are even higher. What ever happened to free trade.
I was all excited to buy a muzzle brake for mosin until I looked on ebay.com.

Keith's is made in NS. It's cheaper in the South than here. Same reason we can buy strawberries from California for less than the local farms can produce. The global retail market is full of whoknowswhat. I'm no economist, but it makes zero sense. Know what else makes no sense? A brake that's more expensive than the rifle lol

You gotta pay to play bro...
Don't forget the US export fees as well.
Just saying its cheaper in the USA always for everything except toothpaste and toilet paper.
$69 x 24% = $85.56 Canadian and don't declare it driving through the border = $85.56.
But that's illegal and illegal is bad.
But aren't you allowed to bring a rifle part across the border under $100.

What would you rather have, cheap red rifles or cheap accessories? I'll take cheap red rifles, have you looked at how much an svt40 goes for in the states, so yeah I'll pay a bit more for something like a muzzle brake if I ever want one for my mosin which I doubt I'll ever need...
