Hate to say it but there's lots of old information in the stickies!! There's one that's accurate in terms of importing but I remember seeing a few that said "No you can't import Airsoft guns" and that's simply wrong.
You MAY run into problems at the border with guns but if it's documented to shoot more than 366fps it's completely legal in Canada and while you might run into hassles at the border you have the legal backing to win any arguments, it just might take some time. 100% no, but 90% yes. There's also the <500fps requirement that's not technically accurate anymore but helps avoid any hassles.
There's also a few retailers in the US that will tell you in the guns description if it's Canada Legal and whether they'll ship it to Canada.
Parts will easily make it over the border with a few exceptions (like I think receivers).
That said, you can usually find guns cheaper (after shipping/duty/taxes) right here at home but do your shopping because some retailers are still charging insane prices. I saw one particular gun I was shopping for range from about $380 to $550 and I ended up paying $380 for it after some shopping around.
I've bought most of my guns from Canada and I completely agree with supporting Canadian retailers but only those retailers that support Canadians by charging reasonable prices.
