Svt 40 purchase

[CapnJohn]

Is it possible to purchase a SVT 40 from Canada and import it to the USA and if so what are the problems and procedures??
Thanks!

I'm fairly certain there is absolutely no way of doing it.

I am not sure that it is impossible, but it is close enough. If it were practical there would be a poot load imported, even if one at a time. Best approach is to just find one in the US. They are occasionally found in the $600 range and $700 is very doable. They are worth that much anyway IMO.

Been there done that going US > CA & investigated it for my cousin the other way. 300 or 350 tariff at the border / to the importer makes it even out.
Took close to a year to get all three rifles home. Got stalled at the border on the US side for unknown reasons ( 3 bolt actions no less)... bureaucratic twits...

Figures. As to coming over the border, when you go to Canada, it's "welcome, enjoy yourself, have fun, spend some $" when you return to the US it's "what's this, who are you, why are you coming (back) to the US. ?"
