    Purchasing air rifle in the states.

    Would rather buy an air gun locally, but there is not much variety.
    Looking to buy a certain model Gamo. i just don't find even
    online. Living close , can just buy one states side,
    but how do I know will not have issues at the border?
    New to air guns. just target and pest control. Since
    am at it, i want something that not only works good,
    but I also like to look at! Just me...:)

    Replying to my own post , but here it is:)
    Asked same question several air gun dealers. Most have just ignored me,
    and easy to figure out why. But one have responded, and am thankfull to
    him. I guess will buy my next rifle from him, no mather which one that
    will be!
    "Unfortunately, as Canadian we do not have access to the entire production of Gamo air rifles since about 75% now comes with an integrated sound suppressing device. And such device is prohibited by law in Canada meaning that the Bone Collector gen 3 is unavailable to the Canadian market."
    That is all I wanted to know. Posted this just in case helps anybody else. Was just
    about to buy one states side, but boy would have been in trouble at the customs.

    I don't know of any US airgun vendors that will ship rifles to Canada. Some companies, like PyramydAir do ship some low-power pistols (i..e. ones they know are not considered to be 'firearms' requiring a license that are already being sold in Canada by Canadian big-box retailers- things such as a Crosman Vigilante, or low-powered BB pistols).
    I'd say I care- but I'd probably be lying...
