I'm pretty sure that the G3A3 - which is a registered "converted"
full automatic, won't be allowed across the border.

My understanding is that problems may arise to due import restrictions.

I had heard of one gent, who, when he moved to North Carolina from
Ontario, had to leave behind a Garand and some ex-military bolt

Thanks for your post!
