I can find nothing on the net from a governmental or law enforcement site that specifically states that having a milsurp with a grenade launcher is illegal. I found forums that state this, that only the munition is illegal. Can anyone point to a legit site?

If you are importing or exporting one, most of them fall under controlled goods. But they have not reached the point of controlling them in country.

One is technically required to be registered even if you possess one. I had this conversation with out CGD security inspection during our last inspection.

the M203 is non-restricted. The owner needs to be registered under CGD (likely, we are still sorting this out due to the NR nature, however DFAIt currently says it is needed).

We are delving in to the murky, little explored (by gun owners) area of DFAIT/CGD.

It is only a DFAIT policy that non-restricted and restricted guns are excluded from the import permit/CGD provisions under the DPA/Munitions list, not by any regulation/law. http://www.international.gc.ca/cont...s/impor/permits-licences.aspx?lang=eng&view=d

technically all group II items (guns, launchers, etc) need CGD registration.

Go to page 56 of the link above and you will find the following:

Guns, howitzers, cannon, mortars, anti-tank weapons, projectile
launchers, military flame throwers, rifles, recoilless rifles,
smooth-bore weapons and signature reduction devices therefor;

Yes, but at this point they are not really set up for the influx of collectors who would be registering because of their Enfield or FN grenade launchers. The rules of what is a controlled good is so broad it can include even an old jeep if it is equipped with blackout lighting.

While it may seem like a hoot to go register with another government department, there are also security inspections that would be included, and the caveat that you can only dispose of the items that are controlled to another person who is registered with controlled goods.

This was my point exactly, the inspector said, "no problem, we can handle all those owners".

We'll see.

I asked if all the military vehicle collector clubs had be notified, never got an answer.

Typical gov SNAFU.
 
No high explosive or similar, and you should be good to go.

Flares, chalk rounds, bear bangers, and 12 gauge flare adaptors (NOT shotshell) are all good to go as far as I know.

Of course they would want everyone to register. Then they can hire more employees to handle the work load and climb up the department ladder. It's called empire building. The more subordinates you have, the higher your pay scale.
