IMO a gearbox doesn't even closely ressemble an M-16 lower reciever.

I beg to differ with you on this. Any part of a restricted firearm is subject to control, especially a barreled upper for an AR-15. Its legal to cross with it if you have the correct documentation, but just Joe Schmoe sending a 20" DPMS upper in the mail will have that item seized 99.999% of the time. In the US, any part that attaches to it is controlled, and needs proper exportation documents (if its not on the "Do Not Export" list)
Just from my experience importing real-steel parts from the US.

You got it right Incursori,
It's on the US do not
export list, but if you can get past that, there's no need to get paperwork from Canada.
Also, I'd like to point out that a uppper reciever, barreled or not is not subject to ANY control while on canadian soil, i.e. no need of a license to buy ANY part or an AR-15, aside the lower reciever.
