Ghostrider, if you want to do it yourself, you need to get an export permit from Canada. Then you need to get an import permit from ATF. The one from Canada is pretty quick and easy. The one from the US not as quick, not as easy and a little more costly. Then you need the Canadian owner or his assigned agent legal to possess a gun, to bring it to the border. You have to be on the US side and receive it. I think in this case because you are the new owner and not an import agent, you may not have to get the gun engraved with who and when imported the gun into the US. But I'm not sure. If you do have to get it engraved, that would add a whole new level of logistic complexity to the transaction.
For $300 plus postage, I'd leave it to the professionals.
