I had to pull the trigger on this buy. Just couldn't resist.
.32 ACP Skorpion!!!!!

Given the markup we're used to seeing here, a newly assembled Yugo Skorpion for $1K seems pretty reasonable to me. The uniqueness of the Yugo variant cannot be discounted.
Seeing that video has given me a thought about the mags. They are considered pistols in the States, so can we import 10 round magazines that were designed for the pistol variant? Something tells me the "commonly available in Canada" clause would be a barrier but I had to throw it out there to provoke some thought.

Ok, this is bull****! Where the hell am I going to come up with the $1K to buy one of these?!?! Guess I'll have to sell my Banshee lol...
I'm well aware of the law thanks. What I'm asking is if we can leverage the differences in Canadian and American law to our advantage. You obviously aren't following my logic.
If we can get AR-15 pistol mags and use them in AR-15 rifles, we should be able to get Skorpion "pistol" mags and use them in Skorpion "rifles". The way I'm reading the law says that because Skorpion "pistols" are not commonly available in Canada, and the ones we do get are "a semi-automatic firearm other than a semi-automatic handgun", five rounds is all we'll see. Someone feel free to investigate this matter further though and prove me wrong.

His logic is clear . When the RCMP reclassify it as a pistol as it is in the US you will be able to have 10 rnd mags . Unfortunately you won't have the gun to use them in anymore
ok, ok, hard to do sarcasm on the net!!!
hard to get it sometimes

shame its not in 9mm or 7.62x25.
on GB i found new ones for $700 , used one for $550 but they dont come with folder and the mag pouch and holster are made of vinyl , i believe we are getting leather . i think $1000 for us is fair .

Yes, according to Wiki:
The Škorpion was also license-built in Yugoslavia, designated M84. It features a synthetic pistol grip compared to the original version. A civilian, semi-automatic version was also produced, known as the M84A, also available in .380 ACP (9×17mm Short).

The barrels are not easy to replace at all unless you have a press. If you wanted to replace it with a 9mm where would you get the barrel/bolt/springs ect for it??
I already have one in .380ACP, but it too is classed as a restricted rifle pinned 5 not 10.
9mm parabellum required a rework of the design that makes it imposible to modify a current calibre to 9mm afterwards. The 9mm parabellum version has a larger, heavier bolt assembly, which also meant an increase in the size of the frame, and receiver. As well, and heavier weight for the rate retarder meant springs instead of a rubber bumper to handle it smacking around inside. Big changes, not little ones.
