My Dad passed away last year in Canada. He left behind a Steven Savage 12 gauge. Having a really hard time getting this gun into the US. Also, I called the border patrol and they said I could purchase a gun in Canada and bring it back into the US no problem. Well we had to leave the guns in Canada, it seemed to good to be true. Now I am having a very hard time getting these guns back in the US. Does anyone have any recommendations for me regarding this issue?

Too many legalities for me to give a good answer. Contact the FFL for best results or a firearms professional attorney.
