Privately owned T-97s now being seized ?
Pre-orders are horrible for everyone involved. They never go smooth. We will not be doing a pre-order to bankroll this project.
I know this isn't going to come out right, but over the last few days I learned that standing up for one off causes won't win you the popular vote. Don't go rouge unless you want to get bashed for going "half-cocked".
From what I was able to gather about the t-97 can-am is doing his part and only time will tell.
With 50,000 members we can do a lot of good.

From Canada Shooting Sports:
Norinco Type 97 Re-Classification and Confiscation
We are frustrated and disappointed with the latest decision of the RCMP to alter the classification of Norinco Type 97 from non restricted to prohibited. The stated reason for the RCMP's reclassification was that this model was "too easily converted to full auto" .
We having been working on this file for over a year and our attempts to resolve this issue have included numerous meetings with the Minister's office some of which at our request included the importers who are caught in the middle of this bureaucratic nightmare.
The CSSA continues to explore all avenues in our attempts to reverse this reclassification, but we have to remember this was an RCMP decision and history has shown they are non responsive to any criticism of their actions, however we all report to someone and in the case of the RCMP that is :
Hon. Vic Toews
Minister of Public Safety
House of Commons
Ottawa, Canada K1A 0A6
FAX: 613-954-5186
If you are currently a T97 owner, or know of one, please contact me at info@CanadaAmmo.com
I would like to get everybody up to speed and coordinated.
Whats the story on these, was it an "orders in council" thingy where they just say its prohibited and take it without confiscation, or was it the RCMP unilaterally saying its prohibited without the OIC, or other?
Also, how many Type 97s were ordered (non restricted). Anyone know? Ive read it was high, like 1,200 rifles, but thats internet gossip for ya.
Curious

Please ban this account. I've been using it so long, with so many posts and information divulged, I suspect most anyone can tell who I am now. Do I still have my "reasonable expectation of privacy" with this account? Time to move on.
