Before you try to import anything, I suggest you read more on that issue. Better for you to get age-verified and only go through a Canadian retailer. If they dont have what you want on their website, email them to ask for a special order.

In general; dont buy crap, even if the crap pretends to match or equal the established brands, because when it comes down to it... they dont.

However, I'll be happy if someone can prove me wrong by showing me one of those wonderful guns and we can take it apart.

Already done on Arnies. I'll try and find it later on, and copypasta the article/pictures to here as you need to register.

It was pretty good, it did a full comparison of the gearbox with pictures and takedown.

No offense, I'd prefer to see it all in person.

It is nearly impossible to match the quality of the materials when your prices are a good ?30%? less. Shortcuts are happening somewhere. Is it workmanship? Quality and/or thickness of the materials? Poor labour pay?

However, the Chinese are really good at catching up after they get seed money to start something.

Time will tell, but for now I'm sticking with established brands and recommending newbies do the same.
