Super excited that my first exempted pistol has finally arrived after ordering it beginning of June.

Shoutout to BCTSA, IRUNGUNS, and funny enough, the Federal Firearms office in Miramichi NB, for helping make the process as seamless as can be (in our current firearms climate).

Feel free to ask any questions on the process and I’ll do my best to reply/DM. :)

Edit: everyone that’s requested a DM, I will absolutely get to all of you later tonight or tomorrow! :)

Hey what was the cost and total time for it?

Time was May 17th to July 17th, so 2 months, cost was 369USD for the pistol, another 100USD for irunguns handgun application permit, after tax another 79$ USD or so, and then 67.50$CAD once it was in the country for import fees. Pretty expensive overall, and some people say .22 isn’t worth it, but I’m extremely happy for the opportunity to get a non antique pistol.

Alternatively, you can evade all the import stuff if you find one in the country, which is a little harder but not impossible

That is still cheaper than what I paid for mine here which was 1480
