SVU (variant of a named non-variant)

[SCDL]

There has been a lot of discussion, as of late, about the dragunov being a named "variant" of the AK47 (which we know is complete bulls**t) and the possibility of that error being used for de-prohibition.

Even if we can't get basic SVD's back, perhaps it would be possible to get SVU's?

It is pretty much the same thing. But who knows our gun law is confusing as hell.

The stock would be prohib, as would the rest as it appears to be straight SVD.

It is bulp-up plus stright out svd. Unless Ottawa will change policy it will be Prohibited. Plus I do not think Russians sell it on civilian market, it is limited issue military rifle. If you watch photos or videos from War in Ossetia it was used but still regular SVD is more common

Is anyone actually currently challenging the Dragunov (which is a non-variant, but listed under prohibited weapons) prohibition? I know there's the R. v. Henderson case, but that firearm is actually unlisted...

The SVD is a named variant.

The SVD is a named variant.

That was my point (if I was not clear). It'd be hard to clear it of prohibited status because its name is actually on the prohibited list....

yeah, very hard. you would have to repeal that entire OIC. which, while would be a good thing is unlikely under any current government.
