Selling prohibited to USA

[bearkilr]

Seeing as most prohibited guns are basically worthless in Canada, I was wondering if there's a way to sell them to a US buyer. Has anyone done this, if even possible?

Isn't that like "taking coal to Newcastle?" LOL

I knew a fella you was posted at Pearson with the US Customs.
He bought as many 12.6 pistols as he could and took 'em home to Vermont when his posting was done.
He said he'd at least double his money on 'em...

of the 12.X classes, only 12.6 handguns (most) can go to the US for civies. The rest are covered by the various "non-sporting" bans.

What would be the steps involved in selling one?

Find buyer, buyer applies for import permit (likely through FFL), you apply for export permit, find shipper, ship to buyers FFL.

OK, thanks for the info. In other words, it would be no different than selling a restricted status.
I remember reading somewhere about a US import ban on US made service pistols,like Colt or Rem.Rand 1911's. Is this still on?

THere was something about the lend-lease ban being lifted, but I cannot recall exactly. THere may be something on the ATF website.

Not really. My father has a bunch of 12(6) guns and I don't have a 12(6) PAL. Only 1 would qualify under the Grandfather clause. When he passes on, which will hopefully be many years from now, I can either dump them in Canada for peanuts or they get destroyed.
Some are worth a fair chunk in the US from what I've found on the net.

Questar can handle the exportation. The process is found on their website.

Whether it would be economic would depend upon the value of the firearm in question.

Bearkilr is right.

This guy is right, its only a few of you guys that haven't gotten it yet.
Prohibited firearms are no longer valuable unless special circumstances exist, like Pythons, Anacondas, and Diamondbacks.
Most prohibs should trade in the range of C$100.00 to C$300.00.
Don't think so? Just check the BTT rate.
