    Can a L42A1 7.62 sniper be imported into canada from the USA???

    I have been getting conflicting reports about importation of a L-42 A1 into canada from the USAicon.I was just talking with a importer who said it was NOT a problem,it is not on the banned list.
    Another importer told me point blank they were banned from export from the USA.
    Who to believe?

    Can somebody put this to rest once and for all for me!
    Better yet,has anyone got one for sale in Canadaicon?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

    You might want to contact Jason at http://www.irunguns.ca/. With his assistance I imported a No 4 Mk 1 (T) from the USAicon, I'm not sure if a L42A1 is exportable from the states, good luck.

    I believe Brian D. has posted about this before.
    “There are invisible rulers who control the destinies of millions. It is not generally realized to what extent the words and actions of our most influential public men are dictated by shrewd persons operating behind the scenes.”

    Edward Bernays, 1928

    Much changes, much remains the same.

    Yep, they were banned from USAicon export from approximately November 2010 until January 2013. All OK now.
