Hello from Ontario, Canada

Post by roadcarver »

Hi, just joined the forum and I figured I'd write a quick note to say 'hi'.

I'm going to be a proud owner of a Rossi 92 in 44mag 16" barrel soon. Just waiting for Canada Post to deliver this to my door.

I wanted to read some trick and tips about the 92. I originally ordered the Henry Big Boy steel in 44 mag at Cabelas which was on sale for $799 CAD, but it appears that it was on back order. In the back of my mind, I always wanted a side load gate lever action. This was my out to cancel the order at Cabelas and purchase the rifle from a store in Calgary.

I'm going to shoot the rifle first and see if I need to take it apart and smooth out any part of the action.

All the best!

Howdy from South Carolina, and welcome to the forum.

Can Canadians really get direct shipment of firearms to their doors?

Yes, but only if I am at home. If the recipient is not at home, it goes to the post office for pickup.

There was one time where the seller did request for a signature but the postman just left it at my door. I had to rush home to get it! This was a non restricted firearm.

Used to be that way here in the U.S..
In fact a few years ago my DCM/CMP Garand was delivered in just that manner.
