About 2 years ago I tried to get a heatshield for my Mossberg 590A1 from Aimpro. It was a nightmare experience. Lots of back and forth and no work actually ever occurred. I'd still put money down for a complete 14" 590A1 shotgun but I wouldn't hold my breath on this.
Interest in Mossberg 590A1 14" or 14" 590A1 CYL/MOD Barrels imported by Irunguns?

nAs I recall, US Fed Law defines a 14" barrel as a class 3 device all by itself. In Canada, it is just an unregulated item as long as it is "manufactured." Would I wrong in assuming there would be a tax stamp on the barrels that would make them pretty expensive - disproportionately so compared to a whole gun?
Feel free to let me know if I am out to lunch here.
No its an SBS. $5 tax stamp

If IRG can get these it would be a first, we have been denied 4 export permits for short barrled shotguns.
3 of the Mossberg Dist and told us no they cant export
Remington Canada aka Gravle agency has also told us no many times, to the point they have asked us if we make them they would buy from us.
( but of course we cant make them at a price that would work for them)
3 Ithaca importers have had no luck getting approval, but one has said they can, but its been 6months and not a word on it yet.
Police gunsmiths have taken to chopping down 18 inch bbls instead of trying to get approval for 14 inch for US state dept.
So if IRG has the something no one else has in Canada then i,m all over that.

I've read on American forums that regular citizens purchased 14" barrels from Aimpro. Irunguns, being an American company can purchase these and then export to Canada (they said it's possible).
Unsure of the laws in the USA, they seem to be even more confusing than here. I received this email:
"I understand 14” shotguns are ok in Canada, it’s our Commerce Department that has not allowed export to Canada. Hopefully this will change in the near future".

One thing i would like to know is , is there anyone that had a SBS or a SBR imported thru Irunguns yet ? they've been offering this service since last year, i'm sure lots of people would like to know if in fact they have succeeded in importing any in Canada.

Well heres the problem (at least one of the problems) , theyre applying for a permit to the wrong department, for a shotgun with a barrel Under 18", it's the US State dept who handle the control for these guns, no wonder why the Commerce Dept hasn't allowed the export.
.
I contacted Mossberg Canada and this is the reply I got. He might not know what the problem is... I followed up with an email, lets see what he says.

Mossberg Canada???
who is that, is did not know they had an office or distributor in Canada?
or did you talk to one of the companies that import Mossberg?

I actually made inquiries regarding the 14" Mossberg 590A1's last week...I guess the issue is the U.S. State Dept. doesn't want to allow these north of the border. Not sure if they will change their tune if several dealers push for them to be allowed up here??? In any case I have my eye on about 3 variations so you can count me in if this becomes a possibility!
Either you have contacted the export dept of Mossberg in the US or a big Canadian distributor.
Mossberg doesn't have any offices in Canada.
There is also a possibility that Mossberg may have an internal policy to sell these short barreled shotguns only to LE agencies or military like Remington does.
That could also explain why they don't export short barreled shotguns and why they only deal with the US Commerce dept.

I will take a barrel or a gun.
Always want these guys to have a little brother.
It's people like you that make me feel sane. I thought I was crazy buying 3-4 of the same guns lol.
Not necessarily, The manufacturer may have an internal policy not to sell these guns to civilians, Remington does have such a policy, and if a dealer/exporter want to handles them for export, they must have a SOT license ( as those are NFA fireams) AND be ITAR registered at the US State dept.
Not many exporter have SOT licenses.
.
Hopefully Irunguns will chime in. Not worth us getting into a frenzy for something that may not be exportable here.
^ Did you talk to this guy? Claims to have found actual stock:

That's great and thanks very much! How much are we looking at for the complete gun, and how much just for the barrel/kits? And for those who want just the barrel, will you also have the appropriate parts (mag tube, slide assembly etc..) that will allow the fitting of a 14" barrel?
