Hey,
Canadian currently living in the US - Sorry if this is about BBgun....
I got my dad a Red Ryder BB gun for Christmas. I thought it was the best gift ever for the classic born in the 60s dad. But it didn't cross my mind twice that I had to cross the borders to bring it to him - haven't been home in 2 years and didn't think twice about airsoft having different laws.
I emailed the Border Agency... but they sent me a very lengthy and impossible to decipher except if you are a lawyer type of email. Tried to call them, not really working out, everything is about covid and no one can answer me.
So my understanding is: if the BB gun is less than 111.6 m/s (366 fps) and resembling with near precision an existing make and model of a firearm, other than an antique firearm, will be classified as a replica firearm. Replica firearm = no crossing.
The Red Ryder is basically an antique firearm (1938 look)? So it wouldn't count as a replica and it is also less than 366 fps. Am I in the clear? Anyone has brought something similar to Canada from the US? What should I expect?
I know it sounds like a dumb move, worst care i'll keep it here with my other bigger guys and get the same one at Canadian Tire.
