Does anyone have experience buying gun parts/accessories from american distributors? There are some parts I want for a custom p320 and there is not much available in Canada for them. If I was to order say a slide and barrel from an american distributor is there a bunch of hoops I need to jump through? Hidden fee’s?

iRunGuns has a Canadian storefront and seems to specialize in importing firearms and parts from the US. They have a system if you want to purchase a handgun where they will strip everything that requires transfer of ownership and import the rest. So for a P320 you can order parts, or a whole gun and get pretty much everything but the FCU.

I'm a little confused by the cost of it though, may require reaching out to them. Their post on CGN suggests it's 25$ flat rate for this process, but their site also says $250 for firearm imports.

I've been trying to do the same thing so best of luck. I've got an AXG grip on backorder for almost 3 months now, and I'm looking for the compact optics ready slide and threaded barrel. It's barren out there.

Right! Haha. I am just trying to be ready to immediately jump on an Agency Arms barrel and slide when black box restocks.
