Please pardon the n00bish question...

...but regarding mag's, would those also get stopped at the border? Given how its obvious they cannot take bullets, I wouldn't think so, but just wanted to know.

And before someone says "go search n00b!" I cant it doesn't seem to want to work, and my computer is running so freakin' slow it would take all day to browse through the pages here. Just a simple yes or no would suffice.

That requires no searching since it's already answered in the FAQ section. Did you read it? It was designed for new members who Frequently Ask the same Questions.

The answer is; they SHOULD make it through. Real Life says it depends on how the Border Services Agent feels on that day.

If you want to be sure, buy from Canadian retailers. No guesswork involved.

Not unless you have a Licence to import. You could try but the chances of it getting through are very slim to none. No woth the the chance of losing the money.
But if it was a clear plastic see through gun it has a much better chance and likely will be ok.

Only if they have dummy rounds in them, or the guy inspecting them feels a little dickish on that particular day.

Move to America until the border patrol softens up.

I wish we had a relaxed boarder so we could get airsoft easily. But such are dreams. I just got my AR mags, and some MP5 mags through no problems from Red Wolf. So unless your CBSA agent is a dick you should be ok.

Same reason book is $20 in America, and $40 in Canada. Well, not really, but it sure feels the same.

Dont try to make sense of the laws in a different country, same as we wont try to make sense of stores in America where you can buy guns, ammo, and booze in the same place... (Seen those in person).
