Air rifle from canada

This is what the "cartels" do, I mean Corporations.......When the Subprime Mortgage Crises of 2008 was exposed when the banking cartel was selling bags of poop as stock the Canadian dollar was worth more than the US dollar and I was rubbing my hands together as I was wanting to purchase another new Harley Davidson at the time. Same crap is what FX is doing and other corporations. Purchasing used was no problem but purchasing new was and the cartel tax was very high on new.
Nothing new, the wheels keep going round and around!
2025 is going to be very exciting year, I guarantee it!

I have had guns delivered to my door from Canada Post. Restricted handguns in fact straight from the dealers.

No, it is FX being FX. They will not allow the seller to sell outside of Canada. Not sure how you are not understanding this. Just like how AoA complained to Weihrauch to stop another Canadian retailer from selling to US customers because that store had cheaper prices. That store had to stop or they would have lost the ability to sell WH rifles.

How does wes in Canada sell to you here easy enough ? ( Air gun archery fun). He shows Canada and USA legal guns .. the moderator is a catch 22 and he can't do any gun with one .
So if a no removable moderator / built in that's a no go ( ones he offers are usa only and forward to a USA seller to ship separately)

Really dude? Or just use the crap conversion in my favor. Id buy from Australia is it saved me some cash. If our wonderful politicians would allow companies to make products in the US for a manageable amount id always buy here. I mean this whole string is about a european air gun not being allowed to be sold from country to country. What sense does that actually make?

I know, I know, I too miss the good old days of no federal regulations, cheap American prices, and Love Canal.
The 1969 Cuyahoga River fire caused the formation of the EPA. How sad. Our children never got to see the beautiful neon blue flames of burning cyanide dancing across the water ever again, but there is hope!

yah in Canada above 500 fps and it's considered a firearm. Canada is pretty awful for all things that go pew pew. Even airsoft is hard to acquire now a days.

I wanted to get myself a Leshy Classic (from USA to Canada). A factory built in moderator made it "Prohibited" by the books.
I asked the border police if I will remove the shroud core can I bring it like that? No, because they look at the picture and read the manufacturer specs, and it says right there...
The other conflicting item was a PP750, by the specs it is a sub 500 pistol with an extendable but stock. I designed a larger plenum for it and we manufactured couple batches for Wes (specifically for he's US customers only). Could not sell with higher power in Canada because becomes "Restricted" and need a firearm license. I said OK I will replace the barrel to longer one and use it as a carbine... they said NO, the manufacturer fabricate it as a sub 500 pistol and stays as a pistol no matter what you do ....
So yes, everywhere there are some roadblocks. You can play by the books or you can try your luck
