I second Roy's comment.  As an American it is a huge pain in the backside
to bring any kind of firearm (even sport weapons) into Canada.  I lived in
Alberta for a few years and didn't bother taking my shotgun.  It was easier
just to leave it with my father in law in the states.

You're probably better off transferring ownership in the states and letting
the counter-party manage importation into Canada (it will be easier for
him/her as a Canadian national).
