I am very surprised that they woudl say that. It has been said that it is possible to import a gun that fires over 500 FPS as at that point it is considered a firearm. But then of course you would have to have your PAL. Customs however may not realize this and will more than likely sieze your gun anyways. You could ask for an appeal in which then they would send it off for a chronie with the RCMP (i believe in Depot, ALB? or SASK?) But this is all done at your expense. They are not going to do this free of charge.
So, by the end you really aren't saving any money buying out of Country. And it took you forever to get your gun.
All the information that you need is in the FAQ section of this website.
Hope this helps
