I doubt the internal US definition of antique has much bearing on that as the U.S. is following some international agreements on export rules. Check carefully before just dropping in the mail. The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

To them, it's most likely a regular firearm and would have to be imported under their normal guidelines. OWD Good Gun Alerts & more: www.DogsandDoubles.com

They have an FFL in Arizona to ship to, then they export/import to their other branch Alberta. They do all the paperwork. They are fast, and reasonable.
