Reising Model 60

[The_Champ]

Has anyone heard of any Reising model 60s in Canada? Although it is a variant of a full auto sub gun, it is closed bolt, semi auto only, with I think a non restricted length barrel. Should be legal right?

I know only a few thousand were made.

Long story but had one that was going to be given to me but did not pan out. It was the semi-auto in 45ACP. Somewhere in the house I have some info on them.

Part of the issue for not receiving it was that the Reising was restricted due to barrel length (IIRC it was 18"). In any event, it was shorter than:

Restricted firearms include:
handguns that are not prohibited;
semi-automatic, centre-fire rifles and shotguns with a barrel shorter than 470 mm;

Prohibited by regulation.

I had a look at the prohibited list and couldn't find it.

Prohibited by regulation.

You sure? Pretty sure it was restricted.

Prohibited by regulation.

Yeah I couldn't find it on the prohib list either...

Yes it was a full auto at one time.

Yes it was a full auto at one time.

That is the M50 or M55. The M60 was semi auto at birth as far as I know

There should be some. The model 60 was used for guard duty by
railway's etc in WW2

The Reising M60 is restricted. There are at least 2 in Canada.
