My fellow CanuckleGearHeads!!
Is there anyway to obtain a replica webley or S&W in Canada? I've looked everywhere, but can't seem to find it anywhere... I'd really appreciate it, if any of you knows how and willing to share the information!! Thank you very much!!

my first few holster-fillers were .44 Magnum (1:1 scale) from the Dollarama.

in '06 I picked up an Artsee1 at the FingerLakes Summit, and just drove across with it in my luggage.

I'd pm this guy and ask if hes going to be doing another run (I think his first run might be all full, not quite sure), hes in Canada, so that gets rid of the hassle.

Also, as long as the seller marks it as a gift, and declares it as an 'antique toy/prop gun' It generally gets through, as replicas of antique guns are allowed (or so I believe).

I've gotten a resin cast of the colt revolver from ToD this way (and customs did open it to inspect it), no guarantee that it works every time though

Hope that helps!

you can get a replica resin gun in if you have it sent privately through the mail, declared as an "antique toy/prop gun". It worked twice for me.

when you start dealing with companies selling replica guns, then it gets dicey with all the customs declarations. if you have a freind sending you a package....its not as bad.

be forewarned...there's always a risk that it will end up as fuel for her majesty's furnace....never take that out of the equation.
