What is the value of a 7.62x39 Czech tracer?
From what I know you cant get tracers imported in Canada anymore so what is inside the country is what we have.
How much do these tracers go for?
 
$1-$2 per round or anything in between.

They should be allowed as they really show where the ricochets go (educational). They could just make them prohib to shoot in the summer when the chance of fire is high.

Tracers ricochet by their nature even off sand berms.. the fmgs generally stay in the sand. One of the reasons most ranges ban them .. that and fire, and that they are banned for civilian possession in the explosives act... With direct language in the old one... And very grey wording in the new one.
 
I've shot them and subsequently chased them down after they bounced off into the forest. 2 rounds out of a case of hundreds lol.
Banning is stupid but I can easily see stupid people using these in the dry summers.

Mine will sit in storage waiting for the celebratory Iraqi anti aircraft style sky shooting when our gun laws revert back to normalcy. So basically never.

Or sell em like the OP. If you get $4 a round I'll unload the whole case!

It does not appear to be grey wording. https://www.nrcan.gc.ca/explosives/acts-regulations/9843
Part 14. Small Arms Cartridges, Propellant Powder and Percussion Caps
This Part authorizes the acquisition, storage and sale of small arms cartridges, propellant powder and percussion caps, and includes the requirements for the manufacturing of small arms cartridges and black powder cartouches for personal use. A reference to mass in this Part means the net quantity (mass of the explosives excluding the mass of any packaging, container, shell casing, or projectile).

Q. Were any changes made as a result of comments from Canada Gazette, Part I?
Yes. The changes made are:

small arms cartridges defined as up to 19.1 millimetres (.75 calibre) compared to previous 12.7 millimetre (.50 calibre) to harmonize with the United Nations Transport of Dangerous Goods definition;
the differentiation of small arms cartridges containing black powder is removed;
the quantity of black powder permitted in a detached dwelling is increased to 10 kilograms (consistent with the previous Regulations);
the wording on tracer and armour-piercing projectiles is removed, tracer ammunition can now be considered for authorization and commercial sales, provided that it is proven safe for use based on test results;
notes added to clarify that the maximum quantity of small arms cartridges refers to 225 kilograms net quantity;
clarification that the maximum permitted unlicensed storage of powder in all detached storage units is 75 kilograms at a site, not including the quantity that may be stored in a dwelling; and
clarification that secure storage means that persons not authorized are not given unlimited access to small arms cartridges storage areas.

In the US I've seen 22lr tracers. I knew (before) they couldn't be imported so I didn't bother looking at price. But they looked like fun; the video I saw was a winter nighttime shoot with red and green tracers. Looked like a Star Wars re-enactment
