Every import of every object is handled on a case by case basis.

To establish that a gun shoots over 407 it has to be tested by the RCMP firearms testing facility. It takes them about a year to get around to it.

you have no right to import replica firearms. the CCC clearly establishes that by law. However there is no law against importing unregulated firearms such as anything that fires a shot or projectile over 407 fps but below 5.7 joules muzzle energy.

But you have to be able to prove that the thing you want to import IS an unregulated firearm.. and that means it has to be tested.. they don't accept any documented evidence.

some people have had items seized as replicas and appealed based on the "capable of causing significant injury" clause .. Once tested and found to shoot over 407 fps but under 5.7 joules Muzzle energy their items were released having been proven to be "non replica" Unregulated firearms.

Can you give me the court appeal case Link? or the Number?
I havent seen this yet, the cause significant injurt clause I've seen was with a KSC USP firing 350fps. The appealler was saying it could cause eye injury, but still lost to CBSA since Federal follow the 407 w/ .22g or 430fps w/ .2g rule

hahaha mass import extremely hot guns and you will get them two years later. sounds like a plan!

Hows the cool down affect the rate of fire on the m4 doing a full clip on propane noticable. Realy liking these GBBR that are coming out now

Man
If Airsoft were Gundams, Cansoft would be its limited special edition...

Just a random thought.

Limited gay edition.

I guess, in the case of the SCAR where the lower is polycarb/plastic anyway, it may not make that much difference. In the case of a gun that actually is full metal, it makes a ton of difference. That doesn't make me a gun snob. I didn't get into this hobby to collect clear guns.

But as I said, my main argument is the pricing practices -not the gun.

My god...It's like a dream come true...

Court was not involved..and is not in most cases

The court is only involved in cases where import offences are committed by importers and the defense entered is +407

Most of those cases don't go well, as the issue is license infractions

The cases I know of are individuals who have items seized by CBSA and they appeal the seizure... CPSE then send the item to the RCMP to be tested .. and then release it after testing proves its a non replica , unregulated firearm.

So has anyone seen this gun in the Canadian version yet? And is it available for sale in country?

It is, 90% of the reseller are ripping you off. Once 'cansoft' start being mass produced left and right, you will see a drastic change in price.

The market is pretty monopolize, theirs a odd seller here and there with good prices but generally its not pretty.

Give it time and they will pop up more and more and prices will be cut by a lot ;)

Well, these have appeared and they are selling with a 100% markup of the street price for these, even factoring in $50-$80 shipping.

I would take one for $500 but $600 and the need to buy $50 30-round mags on top of that is aggravating when it should be legal to import and thus the double markup is hard to swallow on the basis of covering seized items.

This is the only Cansoft I would ever consider as the actual Scar also has a polymer lower so it wouldn't bug me so much. I'm just disappointed in the pricing.

Shock,

Sadly for the scars and also UMP series, it is the upper receiver that needs to be clear. That is why you haven't seen any body in Canada carrying the clear lower SCARs yet.

Ken

Ken,
CGA Retailer has them in stock.

oh yah eh? and the street price includes getting them to make a clear plastic lower body custom just for you too right?

and if it's so legal and easily accessible, just import one yourself then why don't you?

Not to mention, we took a big risk, knowing the the upper is the truly restricted part, but hey, sometimes the risk is worth it.

I work for a store, the store's owner did all the legwork in HK to make these guns possible and if it were left to him, they would cost alot more to make back his investment, but being a part of the community and knowing the value of things, including the cost of a full black/tan SCAR I settled on the price that it is today.

If you don't like the price, then don't buy, but don't talk shit out of your uninformed ass about my products or my business practices.
