Not sure if this has been posted yet? Found it surfing. Not sure of the quality of this because it's an airsoft company?

It would most likely be added to the prohibited list as a "variant" of one of the several prohibited HK MP-series firearms. After all, some .22LR rifles (like the AP-80 and Mitchel AK-22) were prohibited only because they looked similar to an AK-47 (did not share caliber, type of action, maker, place of manufacture, or one single common feature except appearance).

Unfortunately! Based solely on the press release, I'd love to have one myself!

IMHO. Of course, I could be wrong, but the bureaucrats making these decisions have the final say, without oversight or access to common sense.

But the mp7 is not Prohibited.

Why? There are a handfull of semi auto only MP7s in private hands in Canada. Restricted by barrel length only, and very expensive on the secondhand market.

I stand corrected, figured it would get lumped in with the mp5.

may see one about 3 years after it comes out

Why 3 years?

 

[heavenIsAlie]

cause that is how long it takes to get anything classified that looks remotely cool

 

[cpt. canuck]

But it's already classed as restricted, nonrestricted if the the barrel is long enough.

 

[heavenIsAlie]

no, the actual mp7 is, this is a new firearm that will need to go to the rcmp for classification

 

[cpt. canuck]

Should be a no brainier then!

not with this government.

 

[lone-wolf]

The good news is the barrel length won't matter for this rimfire, so the canadian version won't need to look retarded to be non-restricted.

Should be, but were dealing with the Canadian government here. Here's an example, Swiss arms PE90 in .223 is non-restricted in Canada, yet the .22 variant (or close enough) of this rifle, the Sig 522, is restricted. Please explain this to me ...

 

[Brordo]

Sig 522 got the prohib ban as a variant of the Sig 55x series...no logic on that one.

They'll have to make sure it can't be turned into a full auto by spending a year in the state of the art, government funded, machine shop....
