Does the Spring Gun buy/sell forum have a lot of ww2 bolt-action replicas for sale? Those are I want to buy.

Also, I sent the online store Mr. Airsoft an email regarding their shipping to Canada and got this;

We do ship to Canada. We apologize for the glitch in our system, which does not allow you to choose the proper country. We are working to resolve this issue and should have it resolved soon.

Sincerely,
The Mr. Airsoft Team

I have heard of airsoft being denied entry at the border. Is this true?

Hi Oblisk,

There are strict guidelines for ordering airsoft product in Canada.
We have heard of product getting stopped at the border.

Please refer to the international orders section on our website
regarding shipping regulations to Canada

http://www.mrairsoft.com/conditions.php

Thanks,
The MrAirsoft Team

I know there's a 90%-99% probability that it will be seized at the border, but hmm.

Let put it this way.

An american retailer will tell you they will ship to Canada, unless they have a "if it gets seized by the CBSA we will give you 100% of your money back" rule its not even worth attempting it. Once it leaves their hands, usually they dont care. They have your money, they have sent the parcel and they dust their hands of it.

As for your initial inquiery, sorry I am unable to province you any information on the buy and sell section since you are not age verified.

That's interesting - most of the sites usually just have the "we aren't liable..." etc, but it seems you can only order clearsoft from Canada.

I called customs a few weeks ago and they said that if it is anything airsoft not to bother. I asked about clear and under 500 fps and the customs fellow said that it isnt as simple as that. I asked what were the requirements and he said it varied... but he said until the law gets changed he wouldnt risk it as pretty much everything gets sent back to date.

Clearly that isnt the case as the crap clear soft gets through to Canuck Tire and Walmart, and the local sports store in town has a few springers and some CO2 pistols... but I suspect that the average buyer from any online store wont get his stuff through. With my luck with customs I know I wont risk it as they open darn near everything I order and everything I send to the USA lol



Kind of frustrating that even the customs guys dont seem to know exactly how to import anything- or wont explain our legal recourse to have the right to do so... got to love those unexplainable arbitrary rules lol.
