Prophet River import service A++++

Congrats! This is really a great service that they offer. If a guy wanted to shop around on a few US sites, what are the best ones? I have had my eye on a special edition Dan Wesson long barrel revolver for a long time but I can't even find out what model it is. All I have is a photo. Maybe if I spend some time looking around down south I may get lucky and find one. Thanks!

I used Gunbroker almost exclusively, they have good buyer protection and I have not had any issues.Plus you have the ability to deal directly with the seller, sometimes thats a good thing. Good Luck

I tried to register on Gun Broker, but they wouldn't let me since we are in Canada.

Is there a secret to it?
 
I have just recently contacted Prophet River about importing a handgun,had been looking for a SIG-E29R-40 Elite Dark on EE for some time without success

Talked to a seller on GunBroker,who was more than willing to make the sale of the new SIG,and help the process however he could

Have received fast replies from Melissa,clear and concise about what exactly I need to do and their Fees, along with the required forms ect.

Even before reading the great reviews about them here on CGN ,I felt completely confident using them ,just from my initial contact with Melissa.

I mentioned to someone about me importing a Gun from the US and they asked ,what if there was problem with the Pistol, what could I do

I told them I was detemined not to use the seller I purchased my previous two SIGs from,due to them sending me a BNIB SIG-226 that the finish was damaged on, refusing to see any problem with it, and showing no interest in rectifying the problem

So this was no riskier than buying online from a dealer here in Canada ,that wont do anything about problems

I think the SIG and I will be in good hands with Prophet Rver
 
congratz on your new purchase. Its always good to hear about positive experiences with shops so that the rest of us know who to go to.
 
Prophet River and Import from US

Just got a gun from US with the help of the crew from Prophet River.
And, just like everyone else in this thread is saying - prompt, well organized and they will not break your bank account.
Hope they will not drop this activity.
Thanks Clay and Melissa!!
And my thanks to cdill for hist first post in this thread!!
 
The barrel would have to be stamped .223. My Colt Sporter M4 Carbine was sent back to the exporter because the barrel was stamped 5.56. Which pissed me off because it was a post ban rifle. The current regs. for AR are no 5.56 chambered barrel ,no flash hiders or bayonet lugs.

I'm looking into having Prophet River import an AR-180B I'm hoping I can purchase. It is non-restricted in Canada, but marked 5.56, and has a flash hider.

Does this mean it's a no go?
 
I finally got my 3 Sig 229s to the FFL for Export,I had a few misteps along the way,but none of them in any way relating to Prophet River

Just in case anyone else is in this position ,all 3 of these Pistols required the US Barrel and 12 rnd Mags be removed before Export,the first seller agreed to do it and then shipped them in the Pistols,could of had that fixed by PR but elected to return them,ended up getting all 3 Pistols through SigForum,the seller even pulled the Barrels and Mags and shipped them directly to 3 people that purchased them through SF,selling them down there helped offset the costs of the required Canadain 106mm Barrel and 10rnd Mags

Now it is just wait,trying to forget about them,until one day I get a nice suprise

The stellar reputation of PR and their Export Service is why I decided to use them,glad I did
 
me too very happy.ordered up and got a pair of rifles shipped north of the border.Clay and Melissa did great.painless transaction.much easier than doing up your taxes.look at what rebel rouser posted on AR type rifles.do your homework before you buy.they can be exported but with restrictions....not our rules,their rules.so no flash hider,threaded muzzle,and collapsible or folding stock,as well as being marked 223 or 308,and not 5.56 or 7.62.
 
Agreed.

Clay is A++++. I bought my Anschutz from him.

I would like to give a thumbs up to the import service provided.

After reading some of the reviews, it seemed like something I would try.
The price is fair for not having to do anything really :). Look at what others charge.

A few simple e-mails to get started, with fast replies to any questions.
I made my purchase on Gunbroker.
Followed the instructions provided and waited......and waited :)
That is the only hard part....waiting. It sucks.... because you know you can buy it down the road for hundreds of dollars more and have it right away.


But you wait.

10 weeks later, you get a phone call, pay the final invoice and bingo. She is in your hands a few days later.
Then you realize that waiting 10 weeks is worth saving close $500.

So, have no fear. It is simple.

The wait is killing me. I hit 10 weeks on thursday. I've been jumping at every phone call since the 6 week mark hopping its them. Bought my Sig P226 EE back in june had it stop at a gunsmith there in the US (more waiting) and now i'm waiting for the final leg of import. Its so close i could taste it. Maybe PR should offer a counseling service for those who can't stand the wait ;). Awesome service all the way though.
 
Clay is indeed a great option for bringing firearms in from the USA (or anywhere in the world probably).

I brought in a few Safari rifles and actions through Prophet River and the service was impeccable. There was a slight complication with one of the actions (out of Clay's control) and he was quick to make it right.

Prophet River undertands everything there is to know about the technicalities of importing and exporting firearms, so it really is a one stop shop for anything you find stateside.

Tell them what you want... wait... pay... play.
 
Many thanks to Melissa !

Easy transaction.

Two months and this Montana 45-90 Shiloh BPCR at my door !!

Very happy with this USA import transaction !!

Would do business again !!
