John, I sold a mint dated 1800 Brown Bess musket to an antique dealer in Connecticutt. No problems. It went from Nova Scotia to Toronto to Buffalo to destination in jig-time.
The Buffalo people were really clued in, according to Canada Customs. The musket wasn't registered, of course. Our firearms registry also told me it doesn't care where we send our registered guns in the US for repairs or whatever---the problem is getting them back.
When I inquire at the famed gunshop near you they won't even talk to me. They say it's a waste of time. However, I had one beautiful Fox sent to me by a southern gentleman marked shotgun clearly on the declaration label and it was delivered to my door. I doubt it could happen again.
Warm regards, King
