hello guys,

after the good news from GeorgeS we ll get soon some nice mauser action in left hand.

as they will come to USA we ll need to import them ...

i ve done that by myself and by importers too so it s an easy process but patience is the motto ...

let s talk here about your tips to make the process easy ...

i wont be the best to help just because im very close to Alaska so the shipping will be a killer but if there is enough asking i can try to help for guys here ...

all the best.

I spoke to Clay at Prophet River Firearms. They would assist in the importing of the firearms. He told me that he charges $250.00 for the first firarm plus 5% GST and 3 1/2% duty as well as $25.00 shipping to do all the paperwork for the importing into Canada.
If you purchase more than one firearm the price is a little lower.
I understand that they have a FFL dealer in Bellingham Washington that they ship the rifles to to start the process.

Called Ellwood Epps in Orillia to see if they could facilitate the importing/ordering direct from Zastava. They told me that their importer/broker does not handle left hand rifles from Zastava.
So they can't be of any help.

i import rifles on a regular basis any 1 charging 250$ to import a rifle is fucking ripping you off larg and right in front of your face any 1 paying that price is is a fool
if you want to bring that gun/action into the country and do it cheaper here is the entire process for you in a few simple steps that cost a hole shit load less

step 1 =obtain pre-register form and fill out make ,model cert numbers's ect.1-800-731-4000
option 1 for english option 2 the press 5 to talk to some one tell them you wan to import a rilfe and you need the preregister form faxed or mailed to you

step 2 mail or fax back to addess on form.

step three call buffalo gun center and for 50$ they will bring it to the boarder for you pay your duty then go home....or have the gun shiped to your nearest port of entry with a customs office

step 4....your finished go shooting

basicly just have a the gun shipped to a air port or boader crossing you can make it to clear it with customs wich you should already have preregistered the firearm/action pay your duty and go home... iv done it both ways at a boarder and shiiping to a airport.

heck ill do it for half his asking price the damn price that captin dick head is charging 250 is a fuckin insult... typical northern gun shops i lived in fort mac and edmonton and im currently moving to fort nelson bc id rather drive to the american boader 1's a year and stock up and 20-30 pounds of gun powdr and primers and bullets than pay a northern triple inflated price when theres no need and i mean none
