RE: Mail order guns
plainsman, call the mail order company and ask what your options/timeframe. I have found SIR to be pretty good to deal with at the CS desk, in fact most seem to be pretty good via phone (email be prepared to wait a couple days for a reply). SIR now charge a handling fee but will not charge a dangerous goods fee that some might! My neighbour ordered some ammo from them a few weeks back it was shipped by Canpar it arrived on his door in 2 days from shipping date in S'toon(cost was 12.95 for shipping of case of ammo).
