1918 mauser t-gewehr anti tank prohibited??

[polskiogorki]

Do you think under the new law the mauser t-gewehr 13.2x92sr is now prohibited?I'm thinking yes, but being old with an obsolete cartridge and being classified as non destructive in the usa because of no ammo availability what do you guys think, falls under the 10,000j prohibited category now? They wouldn't be able to find any ammo to do the testing but definitely capable.

That was helpful... thanks so much, during these 2 years I could probably manage to go through legal channels to sell it to another country that would be able to appreciate it instead of sending 20k to the smelter.
So I actually want to know.

Obviously thinking worst case , just incase conservatives blow the next election

 

[Komodo]

Probably. I bet you regret selling that thing years ago

its not named specifically(unless I missed it) so that's why I said some people need to keep quiet about things. if people own something that's maybe on the list just read and see because we don't need more listed too many threads asking about specific firearms that are not on the list. people forget there's plenty of people on this forum who are not on our side.
other than the pic and now you're thread about it this rifle did not exist as it was non restricted you just labeled yourself as owning it.

I just wish I bought a boys AT before all this and the 2 inch mortar with the firing pin hole welded up I seen at the last gun show it still had the crate and all the accessory's for it.

Liberals new ban would definitely call that prohibited once they find out (assuming they have no idea) what it was designed for. But I will assume the risk and hold on to it for you ��.

 

[Brutus]

I don't own one of these so I don't have a stick in the fire.

However it makes me sick to think that some nerd in Ottawa seen fit to include first world war rifles such as this on the wretched list. It's our war history in.physical format.

It came back as a war trophy via a loyal infantry soldier whom paid for it several times over.

It's your property that hasn't spoken in anger even in the last century !!

Allen Lever had one of those

I do appreciate the concern but I already had posts on here about it , and this ban will go away anyways, plus they can't prove it fits into the 10,000 j thing , maybe hypothetically, but rcmp is smarter than you think, they already know what you have, this one shouldn't be hidden, so rare it belongs somewhere that its allowed without being deactivated

I was just curious if it did fall under this new legislation so I can start to make any needed preparations!
I know it's not there by name, just wondering if it had any antique or obsolete status

Yes, prohibited if it's over the 10,000 joules threshold. It need not be named to be caught (the list is nothing more than examples). The old, antique cartridge does not save it. You've got two years less a few days now to enjoy it (at home only) before you weld it up or turn it in. How do you love this Liberal ban so far?

 

[maple_leaf_eh]

Here is a simple $5 Access to Information Request question to ask the RCMP Firearms Lab, what is the rated muzzle energy in joules of a 1918 Mauser anti-tank rifle, and the circumstances of the test? If they have tested one, they will have to admit what they know and you can decide how to respond. If they haven't tested one, they will have to fire one round from their hundred-year old stash to prove what they know.

I was thinking the same, such a shame ,
Guess il have to return it to the original owner as I was just storing for safe keeping since I have a vault.... that is allowed under the new rules, to be transported once for return to original owner....

I feel your pain. These b@stards are monsters.

Museums 'where these things can be preserved without being welded shut' is not great. First off they may not want or have the capacity to take them (think security for prohibited devices). And even if they do they may not have the space and you surely won't be able to touch it.

The community has their full attention. Now is the time to ask.

 

[Milspectacles]

OP if worst comes to worst it can be owned by a business that is allowed to possess prohibited firearms ie) museums, places like Wolverine, Marstar, etc

HOWEVER we still have 2 years to figure out all the details and there is no need for rash decisions, just keep all options open for consideration and I get the feeling that is one of the reasons you started this thread

You know, I would love to agree with you on that statement but there are many in the "community" that haven't even heard of the OIC BANS. They live in oblivious bliss or maybe just exist.

Video games, drugs, booze, workaholic, whichever, they just don't pay attention to anything on the mainstream media. Many don't have cable/internet. Most do have cell phones.

Still blows me away when I run across such folks on such a regular basis

They don't vote, don't get involved because it offends their senses.

OP, If that were my rifle, I would be looking for a US buyer. It falls under the Curio and Relic Classification in the US and I don't believe there are any prohibitions or restrictions on it being imported, other than it be done through a qualified FFL dealer.

There are a couple of import/export dealers at the top of the page where the banner advertisers have their sites. Check them out.

The last one of those I saw sell in the US went for US$20K.

Unfortunately it's still considered a Destructive Device in the USA as the caliber exceeds .50, it would need to be a registered NFA item much like automatics and suppressors so I doubt exporting to the USA would be an easy option

 

[Juster]

A quick look at wikipedia for 13.2mm TuF will answer your question.

This is not true, I have done my research even though over .50 it is specifically designated as a non destructive device due to the ammo being obsolete. I know this 100%.... well I knew it was... can't seem to find on the firearms curios and relics list atm,,, but it was there In the past, maybe I'm missing it,, never mind, was actually removed from the list by atf

Thanks!
That is why I was looking for information, I'm pretty sure the rcmp wont be paying the going rate for this one
