A non-clear AEG you can import with no hassles:
 
The KTW Flintlock Pistol!

That's right, flintlocks not classified as a firearm but antiques....thus making it a repllica of a non-firearm and therefore legal to import.

YARRRR! MORE PIRATESIMS! Where's me Brown Bess?

Don't get to cocky, a CBSA officer might not know the different between a muzzle loader and an auto loading firearm, or bolt action.

A gun is a gun to them, if any case, they'll seize it, but you'll have to go back and forth between them for weeks to get it through.

Actually, if there are modern reproductions of that particular flintlock, the modern reproduction could be considered a restricted firearm rather than an "actual" antique. From there it's a fairly simple argument to make that the airsoft pistol in question is based on the modern restricted firearm rather than an actual antique firearm.

It's not an AEG. Cocking back the hammer winds a spring.

Muzzle loaders (rifle), even new ones, do not require registration (percussion caps excepted). Post-1898 handguns apparently are restricted or prohibited based solely on barrel length.

They are not firearms for the purposes of the "Act", therefore their replicas can't be prohibited. (pistols post-1898 excepted here).

You don't even need a license to buy the shot or powder for them.

The modern-reproduction thing applies to guns that were produced during or after 1898, like the Colt Peacemaker (made from the 1870's to 1940's for example).

My local gun store has all its muzzle loading pistols listed as restricted.

mcguyver August 1st, 2009 01:21

They are manufactured post-1898.

As it is and always will, evaulated on a case by case basis.

You could call your CFO and he'd say OK but he can't gaurantee what happens when the agents crack the box open, whatever decision they make they generally get backed up until you appeal and if it is in fact LEGAL than your OK, but its still a hassle not worth going through.

Like with the new agents we got at Mississauga they'd probably seize the shit straightup.

The Saint August 1st, 2009 01:23

Ok, so you were actually agreeing with me, mac? I must've misread your intent.

mcguyver August 1st, 2009 01:30

I just wanted to clarify it.

I think that could be really cool. Pirate theme. Head wraps. Wooden leg. Flying ropes. Monkeys. Beers
