Hi-Capa Pistol Slide Importation

OK, I may have misunderstood the post. If it's just the slide and its internals, then you should have been fine, as I said in my PMs. The only slides that could get legally seized are compact ones like the G26 and USP compact, for which the real guns are prohibited in Canada.

I've had this same problem several times with the Ontario CBSA agents.

If you live in an area where your importations come through the Mississauga / Lester B. Pearson CBSA port of entry, forget about trying to strip guns to bring through unless you're willing to deal with the 3-6 month appeal process (or more) plus having to deal with your goods arriving at your doorstep (assuming you win your appeal) missing screws, springs, pins, little levers and having all the components scratched up from poor handling (while getting NO restitution from the exporter, the carrier OR customs.) It's a bad gamble and generally a lose-lose situation. I have several paperweights here thanks to those guys (and gals.)

There are several officers there that I've spoken to that are very willing to seize anything that resembles a gun/pistol/rifle and have no clue what is "technically" considered the registered component or receiver of a firearm. They get their information from an officer who claims she is a "knowledgeable and skilled officer in recognition of firearms and their components."

Yeah must be the whole handgun scare with the current gang warfare going down in Toronto area

On a sidenote be wary of your surrondings everyone in the core GTA Gang warfare is going on and they suck at shooting always killing the bystander instead of the target
