Misc Moving to USA - Options on Handguns

We are moving to the USA and I have filed a atf form 6 to bring most of my firearms. They accepted most but two hand guns and the AR and one Winchester SXP of all things! What are my options I obviously don’t want to turn them in. Is there a way to sell those handguns in Canada before we go?

What is an example of a restricted gun part? Are you thinking of scopes under ITAR?

Pretty sure you need import paperwork for any firearms part, unless exempted. Barrels are one such example you need paperwork for. Firearms parts are considered defense articles.

Go read ATF Form 6 as a starting point.

It can't be that black and white. I shipped a cz bolt to the US for warranty repair. Didn't need a customs form. And I got an extractor from Ruger in the mail.

This was well before COVID and it's possible that they tightened the rules. But you can get rails and other parts of amazon.com so not everything is excluded.

Like, I said, there are some exemptions. Warranty repair iirc is one of them, low value items too.
