i figured as much, my huh was directed at that garbled crap the newb spouted.
Any suggestions where to get a low profile sight, probably an aimpoint clone or something, here in Canada, other than eBay.
Also, I have a Bushnell Sportview 1.5-4.5x with long eye relief on my 10/22, works great on that, but i was wondering if I could find something similar, but higher quality and with wider field of view.
My first idea for the 97 would be to mount an Eotech clone on it, but sounds like its gonna sit awfully high...
Not entirely correct. They do not have absolute power over goods entering our country.
They can delay and take a long time to do things, but when it comes to firearms, they are not "experts" and cannot make a decision whether or not to let the firearms into the country.
It is an act of Parliament that decides that. In the Criminal Code are lists of firearms that are prohibited from entry into Canada. If the firearm is not on that list and the correct paperwork is done, the customs agents do not have the power to deny entry. They cannot make up the law as they see fit any more than an RCMP officer can decide that 50km/hr is too fast for town and he thinks he'll start giving tickets to anyone going 40 km/hr or more. These Type-97s are not on the prohibited list, we're fine. (The only reason they can deny entry is if the paperwork is not in order or the crates are not disinfected before shipping etc...things that Norinco would have had to take care of on their end. They are an international dealer, I'm sure they did the job on their end.)
So, while it might take them a long time to verify contents and paperwork, it should still only be a matter of time. Don't worry, the individual CBSA employee does not have the authority to deny our guns entry. He/She may not know the intricacies of firearms law, but that doesn't matter, their decision is still made based on the written law and policy.
So when did these guns arrive in CBSA's care, how far are we down the 30 day clock??
All rifles have arrived and have been shipped, excepting yours of course. (The penalty for losing touch with the official thread.)
No refund and no rifle for you!
Ours do not have bayo lugs.
Bummer...I wanted it with a bayo...hmm maybe I can adapt it?
DUCT tape!
Did somebody on here post that the imported rifles do not have a bayonet lug?
