Barrels + Stocks through customs?
 

Sorry if this has been repeated. I have searched without success in finding if customs will seize stocks and barrels. I am looking to buy the fluted steel barrel and m40a3 stock for my vsr. I just want to get some confirmation that I wont be flushing my cash down the tubes.

Cheers,
Mr.Steezy

no problem.

Only Pistol barrels pose a problem as far as I know. Even an Outer barrel shouldn't be an issue.

you wouldn't happen to know if i could ship in a replacement silencer for my gspec would you?

Im looking at this product from WGC :

Thanks again

You should be more worried about stopping....

:D

is the stock of the rifel the body that you put the tirgger and all that stuff in like the whole body correct me if i am wrong, as i broke my whole butt stock off and now need a new body so will they get threw?

How the hell do you manage to break all your guns so badly?

um i havent broken all my guns, only thing that whent on me was my mechbox on one and the stock on this one i dont know it was stored in a single rifle case in my closet in a cnd tire gun case and i opened it up and it was cracked in half so i dont know if somthing was carcked befour and the case has some boxes on it of bbs and my gear but thats about it so i dont know just wondering if its leagl to bring in a whole intire nex body and if that is what is called a stock?

Recommendation: Try using firefox, it has a built in spell checker (and take its advice). :D

The stock is the part that you put against your shoulder. The receiver(s) is the part that contains the guts.

Oh, and you can't import receivers. That's a big No-No!

There was a recent posting that lists all prohibited items from importation.

And there's also an FAQ from a few years ago with a more detailed listing.

Unfortunately the silencer/suppressor is on the prohibited list. If someone managed to get one in, that's purely luck. Just search for "Prohibited items" and you'll probably pull up a few more threads.

Suppresors, if a package is opened by customs, will be seized. Customs agents won't make the differentiation between a supressor replica for airsoft, or an actual supressor for real steel. If it looks like a supressor, it's confiscated. The will occasionally make them through, just like the occasional AEG, receiver, etc can make it through. Shit happens. But if your package is inspected, it will be seized.

Just a suggestion - either buy the supressor in Canada, or order it separately from the rest of your gear. That way, if it gets inspected and seized, you're guaranteed to get the rest of your order.

I'm looking at having some items shipped to North Dakota, then driving down to pick them up and clear customs myself. Has anyone had experience doing this?

I'm sure the battery + charger won't be an issue, but I'm also looking at getting two mags (without fake bullets) and I highly doubt "but the internet says it's okay" will fly with the customs agent.

Not a good idea...
