First off make contact with prophet river or Irunguns and get their ffl address. Contact the seller on gunbroker and explain to them that you are Canadian but you have an exporter with an american Ffl. Some sellers are good with it some aren't. Once you're set up with the exporter and they're good with it....bid away

X2 for Prophet River, I have used them 3x for rifle importation from Gun broker.
Just contact the seller on Gun broker, once you find a firearm that you like, and see if they will deal with you. They all say that they will not ship outside the USA, but importing company that Prophet River uses has an FFL licence. They have an easy online application process, also.
Clay @ Prophet River is great to deal with!

X3 for Clay @ Prophet river, dealt with him many times in the last 18 yrs. Top Shelf service and gets the customer what they want/need. Way to go Rosco, This is Big "T" .

Do NOT do this... They don't need to know where you are or that you're using an exporter, all they need is the FFL. Period.

The very next sentence in blue, you explain why you shouldn't... They do not need to know.

I have purchased on Gunbroker, and I used Prophet River for the import, but it's only worthwhile for larger purchases, or something that you really want and can't find in Canada.
