Crosman 2300T

[AirGunEric]

Crosman determines what it will "allow" for Canada. Any dealer can bring in products if they can find a US distributor to ship them- but Crosman won't do it. As Crosman believes (accurately, in my opinion) that the market for "Restricted" pellet shooters is quite limited, they just won't ship to Canada.

Also, and maybe not a big deal if someone really wants one, but as a result of Crosman not "approving" them for sale in Canada, there is no warranty on such things through the Canadian warranty program (i.e. if you want it to be fixed under warranty, it would have to be shipped from, and back to, a US destination.

Also, not sure what you mean "restricted FPS rule"? They are both over 500fps and considered "Restricted" firearms as opposed to "not restricted" long guns- so a person also needs an ATT to move it around.

Hi Eric,,from what I started out wanting to where I am now has changed,,at the moment I'm seriously thinking of the 1322 pump in .22 at with a 14 in barrel 460 fps,,will get the steel breech and shoulder stock,,scope and such,,I know you know there are a number of mods for it and having access to milling equipment can make all the brass pretty parts I've seen,,I do not shoot to kill or injure any little critters as I've read in a number of posts,,couple photos of years gone by.

Wasn't going to ask questions about business processing,,just general questions that others may have answers to,,hope all this confusion is over.

They advertise fps differently depending on what site you go to,,.177 520,,.22 420 460,,just wanted one with a steel breech and power adjustment,,one you don't have to mod to get it,,but if I have to,,I have to.

Not that I like to be difficult but after a lot of searching on the web and taking a look at the 1377 at Canadian Tire I said no again,,just called Erics wife and ordered a 2240 in .22,,,a steel breech,,the rifle stock,,brass end plug for the steel breech,,Eric will call back in a few hrs to answer some questions on the .22 hollow probe,,velocity adjustment and a few other parts,,SOOOO with luck maybe it should be here in BC on Fri,,and or Mon.as I said am very new to this but I think I got the best combination at this first time to get me started,,we all know it doesn't stop there and there will be lots more to come,,once I take it all apart and touch things and put the new parts in just to understand the names of parts and what they do,,should have some fun though.

? Where are they available in .22 caliber? Crosman hasn't made them in .22 as an off-the-shelf item for a number of years- and as such, they are listed in the FRT as "Restricted"- no exceptions. If you're talking about a "Custom Shop" gun- then only consumers in the US can order them (not US dealers and not Canadians at all).

Did a search and found them on the web in .177 and .22,,just getting into this so will go down to the local gun store and find out what the score is,,I know what you have to go through to get a long gun but an air gun under 500 fps for plinking is a different story,,or so I thought but will find out for sure come morning,,have owned several long guns and pistols but that was 30 years ago,,hand guns were all registered but have been sold long ago,,will know more as I said in the morning.

Can somebody please correct me but aren't airguns that shoot above 500 fps allowed as long as the fpe in under a certain limit?
Occasionally somebody does quote the firearms act when discussing such matters.

Then again the deciding factor is that added sticker on the box of any airgun destined for Canada; "Detuned for sale in Canada"

Very sorry about that Eric,,been conversing with the gun dealer and the way you came back to me thought it was you,,when I screw up I do it good,,when I called the dealer I asked for Eric and she said he wasn't home and would call me soon as he got there but I gave her my order and credit card # but needed more info on a few things and would wait for his call,,it's Scopeandamo.com,,think I'll call her back now and see what's up,,sorry about that Eric

You can see the basic idea on the RCMP webpage: http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/f...me_air-eng.htm Item 1 on that sheet.

I think what is being missed in this particular discussion is that above 500fps/4.2fpe a handgun is a "Restricted" firearm requiring the proper licensing, registration and Authorization to Transport (ATT) permit to move it anywhere.

.22 versions of the 2300 can only be bought from the Crosman Custom Shop by an American consumer in the US. So, if someone wanted to be technical, they could have a US address and a US credit card, order one from the Crosman Custom shop and then attempt to get it over the border- which may not work out for them very well.
