Hey CGN!

I know a deactivated SKS is impractical since they are so cheap and I can get a real one for a cheaper price, but I am young and my parents hate firearms in the house so I would ask them if I could purchase myself a deactivated SKS so I can just hang around in my room, or house etc. (I am a big combloc fan, i'm Polish)
The only problem now is where do I buy one. I've done a few google searches and I can'f find any Canadian websites that have deactivated SKS's. There are also some foreign sites but the deactivation laws in Canada are way different than from the origin countries.
Hopefully I can find some help here!

Thanks,
Silly_Ghillie
 
Keep an eye out on the equipment exchange under military surplus rifles, the odd one might show up. I've seen k11's, mosins and other deactivated milsurps on the EE before.
 
Buy an SKS. Take it to a gunsmith approved to do deactivations.
If you can't legally purchase a firearm, pay for the rifle. Have it delivered to the gunsmith.
 
What's the point? Especially since you mentioned on ASC that you are buying airsoft. Just stick to airguns until you move out and get your own place, than get non deactivated SKS. Dewats cost more than non deactivated firearm and are only fun to play with for the first day or two, than you will just get tired of it. I might be able to understand a dewat of a prohibited/rare firearm but an SKS in common as dirt. No point getting one. If you want to play with one you better off just looking around for PAL holders among family friends/relatives/friend of a friend kind of thing and asking them to take you to the range. I can bet my money that if you find one they will probably have an SKS.

Are you over 18 and able to get a PAL. What if you bought one and gave your parents the firing pin? Then when you move to your own place, if you decide to continue the sport, you have a functioning rifle. Or maybe sell it again.

Well, you can't buy one unless you are licensed to posses one. OP is under 19 but his parents allow him to buy "non controlled firearms" - airsoft. At least according to his posts on Airsoft Canada. Giving a firing pin to somebody else will still not turn a rifle into a dewat. You will still have firearm in the house - anyone else with a firing pin can walk in, put it in and make it work again.
 
Get a job and possibly an education
Move out.
Become emancipated minor if still under 19.
Get PAL.
Get real SKS.
Run own life.

My mum suggested I "consider renting" guns at the range until I was "more settled."

I moved across the country 2 months later.
 
Where do you live? Im in Edmonton Alberta area. If your near me Ill take you down and pick it up for you. We will pull all the functioning parts so you can show your parents it don't work. If you ever want to shoot it Ill take you out and we will put it back together so you can shoot it. Sound good?

That would be illegal in so many ways... Removing parts from a firearm doesn't make it deactivated. Giving a firearm without moving parts to a non licensed person is the same thing as giving them functional firearm. In fact, receiver on it's own is classified as a firearm, so you can basically have entire AK in pieces minus the receiver and nobody will go after you. Having SF receiver on it's own, without any other parts with get you a record.

I have absolutely nothing against younger people getting into firearms. I'm up for it and actually ended up supervising 16 year old when his brother took him out to shoot with us last time. I'm just saying. Law is law. Stripping a rifle of every single moving part will not make it deactivated. It will still be considered a firearm. No offense but if you don't know that - read up before getting parents of some kid into trouble with local LE.
