OCM Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 I didn't think any machine gun was allowed in Canada- Converted Auto, that's a new term on me, does that mean you can own like a Kahr semi Thompson, legally, now ?Nice display- OCM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurencen Posted January 21, 2016 Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 OCM, with the right licence you can own converted FA to SA, they weld the select fire lever permanently, some have internal parts modified also, the reason for welding the selector is to prevent changing parts, the problem is being able to own the converted firearm but there is no way to actually fire it anymore.

audetnelson1 Posted January 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) owner of fully auto gun in canada can t shoot them it is prohibited. and the gun must be stored in parts....it is extremmelly ridiculous.And with the new government that will be perhaps more restrictedher goal is to remove gun from canadian citizen hands. Just to show you how it works in canada with gun. The rcmp since many years allow citizen to own CZ858 and swiss arms green rifle. Many people own these gun and they are not cheap gun. Last years one day the rcmp change her mind and said ok now these gun are prohibited and you have XX month to return the gun to the rcmp without any $$$$$ compensation. it is how it works in canada.

Waffen Und Bier Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 A friend of mine in the Canadian Army had a handful of converted machine guns. AR10, M1A1, AKM, MP44, etc. Had to apply for permission to shoot them. Not sure if he still has them. Lost touch with him after a debilitating injury in Afghanistan a few years back..

Gio Posted January 23, 2016 Report Share Posted January 23, 2016 Waffen Und Bier, Thanks for your service to our country. It's a shame people in many countries and some American States can't enjoy the sport of shooting. What has the world come to. Frank 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
