I sent this to the Canadian Firearms program of the RCMP:
cfp-pcaf@rcmp-grc.gc.ca
Hello.
This email is regarding the decision of the RCMP to review the
classification (non-restricted, restricted, prohibited) of the Norinco
Type 97 and 97a bullpup semi-automatic rifle. The Norinco Type 97 fits
all of the proper classifications for a non-restricted bullpup
configuration rifle, with proper barrel length and inabilitay to make
it fully automatic. Regardless of this fact the RCMP has seen fit to
seize a shipment of Type 97 rifles purched by the Canadian firearms
distributor "canadaammo.com" and hold without reason citing a review
of the rifle's status.
Please give any information you have on your desicion to review the
status of the Type 97 rifle, as well as an approximate time frame for
a final decision to be reached.
Thank You.
