..............I'm not an expert and suggest you contact the BATFE first of all. However I'd doubt there'd be any concern about parts, but that's just my thinking which will not stand up in court :-) I did have a friend of mine in Canada ship me a complete 577 Snider carbine, and it sailed through as if it had been a shovel or a bag of marbles.

Have purchased numerous pistol parts from Canada in the past with no issues. However, laws change daily, so I don't know about TODAY. Unless it was a barrel or frame how would one know what the part was for?

I shipped a set of Colt Python grips to a guy in Canada a while back. Just called them wood carvings on the form required. Maybe you can call them machine parts. After all that is what they are!
