Probably because Alaska is out in BFE and certain items like ammo can't be flown on planes or on cargo ships?

Unless you wanna drive 3,000+miles through the mountainous and icy Yukon wilderness and then through the same terrain in Alaska.

I have had ammo shipped to me in Alaska and you are correct. You have to pay an exorbitant hazardous materials shipping fee because it travels on a plane

Do posters on Free Republic have a monopoly on acronyms and jargon? BFE?

The trip is half the fun. Through the grand prairie and grain fields of Alberta, to the stunning vistas of mountains in British Columbia and the Yukon. Wildlife from prairie dogs to mountain sheep. If you are really lucky you might see bison and bears.

Alaska will take your breath away. You may fall in love with it and never leave. Many have..

Canada does have some restrictions on firearms and ammo, but it is their country. Check with them and follow their rules and you will not have any trouble.

Colorado is on the list because of a nasty New York city, Bloomberg toady transplant who got recalled.

Mags and ammo can be shipped to Alaska via surface freight. I live in Alaska and am constantly fighting the ignorance of shippers in the lower 48 who always try to over charge for everything. NEWS FLASH! the United States Postal Service delivers to Alaska just like it delivers to your town and for the same rates. Things like ammo can be shipped via Lynden Alaska Marine Lines on a barge. It takes roughly a week from Seattle.
