    You may have touched on something there. I am in no way, shape or form a lawer (nor pretend to be), but when Junior (with no PAL) gets caught with a PAL rated gun, and the inevitable court case/lawsuit/finger-pointing ensues, CT can (to a point) claim they were not to blame. e.g- "We never ordered PAL guns, wasn't our fault". I can't see it holding up in court, but I CAN see them taking that stance.

    Initially, it may have been Umarex's fault for delivering the wrong shipment, but that doesn't mean CT had to accept it. Between unloading the truck, stocking them on the shelves, and lastly selling them to consumers, somebody surely should have caught it.

    Maybe yes maybe no. When Purchasing ordered the guns they sent copies to their (CTC) receiving Dept. These would have product descriptions and UP codes that obviously did not match the products that arrived on the shipping dock. So some one in receiving didn't check off the goods and the guys in accounts payable didn't check the packing/shipping paper work with the PO's. Then the whole thing happened again at the retail level with their receiving guys not checking off the goods with the paper work. And after that the sales guys topped it all off by ignoring the licensing rules.This sounds like a big whole system cluster chuck.

    I have a Air Gun stuck at the border since June 05 2012, and since the PAL Guys lost my test I took with Dave well I can't have it.
    so almost 500$ down the drain. [ probably ]

    My Nice Mac1 Benjamin Discovery [ and he told me I will ship at end of July and no problem shiping in Canada ya right ]

    I know I should Buy Canadian but there is no new Mac1 Benjamin Discovery in Canada.

    Nothing against Tim - he does great work - but personally (and the route I'm going to take for my .25 Disco) I would get a LW barrel, Marauder trigger group, RVA, extended probe bolt, streamline the valve a bit, maybe a repeating breech (BNM ?), and voila...no reason why it should be any less accurate or efficient as a Mac1-prepped Disco. Then you WOULD be "buying Canadian" as I'm sure Eric has everything you would need, except for the repeating breech (if you even wanted one).

    Just my opinion,

    no I ask to have it ship at the end of July not begining of June.
    But they lost my test papers at the R.C.M.P. and my tester Dave does not have a copy so I have no proof now that I ever took the test so no PAL for me.

    But trust me I'm a persistent little bugger and I will get my Mac1 BD. because I want it and alredy payed for it.

    I will apply at the customs office for a extension so I can get everything in order.
