So I'm planning on buying a G&G CM16 Raider from evike.com

Now I've done some research on importing guns in from the US and I came across this article on Airsplat.com It pretty outlines what guns are legal in Canada in terms of their FPS output. And it pretty goes like this:

Under 366 FPS is a Replica Firearm, ILLEGAL!
Between 366 - 407 FPS is an Uncontrolled Gun, legal to own.
Over 407 FPS is considered a Firearm, not illegal to own but requires a license

Now this specific CM16 GBB has a listed FPS of 350 - 370 with .20g BBs and Green Gas. That's really not in the safe zone for Uncontrolled Airguns, and I don't want it to end up getting seized at the border if they do decide to test it out.

However I do believe that this model is also sold on a Canadian Website called "Replica Firearms", or something along the name of that.

So, is this too risky of a buy? What are your opinions on it? Even if this model is sold in Canada, is there a chance it'll get seized?
