Oh it's on! Not just a prototype this time.
I mean have a look at this thing! I can't wait to see how it performs.

Cool! Hopefully Gravel agency takes the time to get one modified and approved for Canada!

I don't have a very high opinion of Gravel agency, I don't think they care for us airgunners.
When I wanted to import a Crosman 1701P I contected them and they didn't lift a single finger to help me out, they just said like everyone else "nope, nothing can be done" too much effort, they didn't even look to see if something could be done.

Who has a 1701P now? I do! Who can now buy them legally anywhere in Canada? Anyone over 18! Thanks to me being more stuborn than an old mule and AirgunEric (OK mostly Airgun Eric).

So I'm now really holding my breath for them to do something about it.

I Totally agree, they don't care about the Canadian market.

That's great Eric was able to get the 1701 in. I guess I've had a bit of this attitude on Crosman guns, that nothing can be done if Gravel doesn't do anything, so I'm curious how Eric went around them to get the 1701 in. Did he just do the work for Gravel agency in getting an frt for the gun then convince Gravel to import for him or did Crosman in the USA go around their own distributor here in Canada and sell directly to Eric?

That was a looong time ago. You'd have to ask him.
If I remember right, he worked on getting the gun legalized and imported the first ones himself.
