Frequently Asked Questions

We know.  One of our owners used to be a PAL instructor in Canada.   We can import and sell many

firearms covered by the Ban in Canada.  Email us at  info@smartshotfirearms.com or by phone at 716.232.0595 

These firearms typically cannot be permanently imported into the US. There is an unusual quirk in US Gun Law from legislation back in the 60’s that only allows imports of firearms that have a sporting purpose or can be easily modified to a sporting  purpose.  In other words – too many characteristics that resemble those on military firearms cannot be imported privately – even if these firearms are made in the US and are otherwise for sale in the US. We can tell by looking at the model and if we are not sure we can always file the paperwork and await a response.   If you want to look up the legislation yourself, click here and scroll until you come to section 925 (d) (3)

That depends on the how many firearms are being imported and where they are being shipped to for processing.  Email us at  info@smartshotfirearms.com or by phone at 716.232.0595 

Once the Firearms are in the US, we will store them in a safe in a fully alarmed location pending pick up or shipment to an FFL in your State.

Typically we can still import it for you but we will need to ship it to an FFL in your State to complete the background check.  You will want to make sure the Firearm is legal in your destination State before doing the import.
