Tactical Imports applied for it a few years ago and got approved. Unfortunately Canada currently has an embargo on Russian imports.

I’ve been eyeing that, since I saw it on armalytics, definitely a grail gun.

In theory if you know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy, they can probably grab it from a different European country without an embargo and import it into Canada normally. Bonus points for 18.6" barrels.

Do you theoretically happen to know a guy? Or will I continue searching for the definitely not Russian made vintorez’?

Some of the real Tula/TOZ VSS Vintorez civilian models in EU are going for 12k-15k euros now. So it’s pretty pricey nowadays. There are also the Molot clones as well and those are cheaper but still a few thousand euros are still available in various EU countries.
