John,

there's a real sharp guy at the ATF. He's based in West Virginia. An excellent man who knows the ins and outs of this thing. He simplified the whole process for a friend. I suggest you get ahold of him.

I also have the number for his counterpart on the Canadian side. Let me know if you want any this info, the names and phone numbers of these gentlemen.

We literally just walked an old Savage rifle across the border and shipped it to his FFL for processing.
