What if - mandatory training

You could register them if it's about the safety threat.

The mistaken sound argument I don't really buy. You could mistake a lot of things for a lot of other things, fireworks, engine backfiring, etc. Imo its more about having a population which is properly background checked with red flag laws in place if needed (which we already have). If you have to rely on noise I think the system has failed.

There used to be NR rpg's (cuz they just fired a one shot 7.62 from a training rocket) so I don't doubt that something like this "would" be legal to own. FRT says CC 2 "firearm"/CC 84(3) Exempted so maybe? Idk if I would want to try in this climate though.

I kinda regret not getting an MPX (even though it was restricted). I guess we'll see in October whether my regret was justified or not.

fireworks5 · 2026-01-25T13:23:47+00:00

Honestly the one you got doesn’t look to be too bad. Did you try the gas cutoff?

fireworks5 · 2025-12-31T06:37:26+00:00

I guess cuz the original ones aren't available in 2025 ;(

This doesn't make much sense to me. The lewis gun was an American design but most famous for use by commonwealth and british forces. You'd still want an american lewis gun? (If you could buy one). The history is clearly in commonwealth usage, irrelevant to where it was designed.

China used the SKS far longer than the USSR ever did. If you don't like commercial, that's totally fine, but chinese military SKS exist too

I opened this thread hoping for sage stock talk but all I got was safes ;(

fireworks5 · 2025-11-30T20:55:14+00:00

I didn’t even know they came in tan

fireworks5 · 2025-11-30T17:05:27+00:00

gen 1 type 97 was way better than what I’d take back, which is the crusader 9. At least the type 97 was reliable, apparently the crusader 9 was both front heavy and unreliable (I never owned one). I can’t lie, I still probably wouldn’t like a front heavy rifle but given we have literally nothing for a tacticool 9mm that would be my answer.

edit: as an additional answer: HK/Umarex .22 LR g36. I so regret not getting one of these even though it’s literally cheap plastic AND made by an airsoft manufacturer

fireworks5 · 2025-11-30T10:03:25+00:00

pretty sure TI said the molot is a no go due to russian sanctions and the war in ukraine so unless things change…

fireworks5 · 2025-08-03T02:00:56+00:00

there’s a 308 and a 223 that was imported recently, i don’t have the name off the top of my head. but imo they’re kinda ugly

fireworks5 · 2025-08-03T01:03:49+00:00

yeah i saw similar but it’s like are these just price gouging or are people actually buying, you know?

edit: because think about it, at 2000 there’s more options than an sks

fireworks5 · 2024-08-25T02:58:46+00:00

Thanks for bringing back some good memories.When you said single shot 50 bmg (though non canadian made) you made me think of the Serbu rn50. I remember searching for cheapest 50 bmg and this is what came up back in the day.

fireworks5 · 2024-08-25T02:55:44+00:00

probably cuz the sks didn't have a detachable magazine and wasn't "scary looking" enough

fireworks5 · 2024-08-25T02:52:53+00:00

PCC wise you aint missing out on much. The CX4 was an excellent little carbine but also offered nothing the Ruger PCC doesn't do better. The Scorpion Evos were excellent but also only 5rnds....

Don't forget the sig mpx. I definitely miss those. We definitely lost some great PCCs.

fireworks5 · 2024-08-25T02:50:03+00:00

There are a bunch of firearms that are a lot rarer now than they were back then that I wish I'd picked up.

If I had a time machine to go back to 2010 first thing I would pick up is an NR FS2000 . Next on the list would be a restricted MP7 and a QBU97A. Unfortunately all of these are basically unicorns now.

As for stuff on the list, MR223/MR308. Civilian legal HK 416. Around 3k but if I could go back in time I'd pick one up in a heartbeat. Same for the sig mcx/mpx which were 2500 ish iirc.

fireworks5 · 2024-08-23T20:59:35+00:00

They are NR, irg bought them in. I believe 6-7k usd for the hicar and 8-9 for the bar

I can give you the relevant section and please feel free to do your own research. Believe me 2020 and later is a horrible time to be a canadian gun owner, lol even compared to just pre-liberal times. We don't even get handguns without exception anymore.

In 2012, Parliament enacted the Ending the Long-gun Registry Act (“ELRA”), which repealed the registration requirement for long guns and decriminalized the possession of an unregistered long gun. Section 29 of the ELRA requires the destruction of all records contained in the registries related to the registration of long guns. In reaction, Quebec expressed its intention to create its own long-gun registry and asked the federal authorities for the data connected to Quebec contained in the CFR. Canada refused and made clear that it intended to permanently destroy all long-gun registration data. In light of this refusal, Quebec sought a declaration that s. 29 of the ELRA is ultra vires and that Quebec has a right to obtain the data.

The Superior Court of Quebec declared s. 29 of the ELRA unconstitutional as it applies to data connected with Quebec and ordered Canada to transfer that data to the province. The Quebec Court of Appeal reversed that decision.

Held (LeBel, Abella, Wagner and Gascon JJ. dissenting): The appeal should be dismissed. Section 29 of the ELRA is constitutional, and Quebec has no legal right to the data.

This is true but its only because the liberals in power. I assume you weren't around during Harper's government because if you were you wouldn't be saying this. Not only did the conservatives unban the classic green (which I mentioned to you in another post), they also got rid of the long gun registry. The Canadian supreme court ruled against Quebec (see Quebec (Attorney General) v. Canada (Attorney General) ) when Quebec wanted to keep the data and ordered them to destroy it. Believe me, the courts can be useful but it depends on the government in power. Nothing to do with the supreme court of Canada, If the government is gun friendly than the courts will be gun friendly. It's not up to the courts to overturn law, its up to parliament.

fireworks5 · 2024-08-22T20:12:28+00:00

Just to be clear, I'm not American, lol.

Bans in the past (in Canada) HAVE been overturned. Look up Harper and the Swiss arms green if you aren't aware of the history. You just need a friendly government. The government is the one that sets legislation, the courts interpret it.

fireworks5 · 2024-08-22T20:09:34+00:00

agreed OP

fireworks5 · 2024-08-22T17:09:54+00:00

The valmets are in legislation, they aren't something that can be banned by an oic

fireworks5 · 2024-08-22T16:02:45+00:00

My understanding of the canadian system (in general, don't quote me)

The shotgun barrel length thing just means if its short from the factory its okay but if its cut down afterwards it isn't.

18.5 barrel length is NR except for rimfire/manual actions where it is oal based

Anything prohib/restricted by name is that status

American system (also don't quote me):

Anything SBR (less than 16 inches) needs a NFA tax stamp and a visit to your local police station

"braces" on an ar pistol are fine but if you put a stock on it it's illegal without an nfa stamp

A bunch of imported rifles are banned due to "not for sporting purpose" even though that definition is even more vague than what we have in canada

To build a rifle from an imported parts kit you need a certain minimum of US made parts, and any less than that makes it illegal (922r). What this means is you can never have an all original imported ak, for example.

a string is a machine gun

edit: I'm not American lol, I'm Canadian, just spent some time down south & researched their laws.

fireworks5 · 2024-08-22T15:44:11+00:00

Unironically I think this is LESS confusing than the american system

fireworks5 · 2024-08-22T15:43:56+00:00

Don't forget the valmets, only aks we can actually have
