Hey has anyone ever tried and had any success ordering parts off the Brownells website? I’ve called their customer service and they said they do ship parts to Canada, and there’s even a filter for “available outside the US” on the site. I’m building a couple p80’s and want a Brownells slide and barrel but im nervous CBSA will just seize them at the border and i’ll have wasted the money! If anyone has done so successfully that would ease my fears.

Yes. I bought a bunch or Garand parts. Their website will let you know what items they can ship to Canada. Basically everything other than barrels, reciever, bolts.

Shipping was ok, but CBSA will hold onto it for 1-2+ weeks
