Reclassification Status on the BD38 and BD3008?

Accept compensation, or, file for a reference hearing and forfeit the offer of compensation. Monetary coercion to waive one's rights to legal due process.
Terrible position for an owner to be in.
Hope that in the event that the reference hearing is unsuccessful, the judge will order compensation?
Maybe pass the hat, so that the an owner who files for a reference hearing could still be financially compensated?
 
Someone needs to do an article with an FOIA request on how much reclassification has cost the tax payer.

Agreed. I'd love to see the $ associated with this.

Might a properly targeted FOIA request equally enable us to see if any firearms have been brought up for significant re-review for reclassification that was decided NOT to proceed with? (Again, they are spending our money, we have a right to see what they've been doing with it. ...although I realize they aren't likely to release any mention of anything "still undergoing review".)
 
If any owner has high resolution pics of their BD-38 or BD-3008 and/or PDF copies of their letter of revocation, I would appreciate copies of them for publication in an upcoming issue of the NFA's Canadian Firearms Journal. Full photo credit will be given and private info of gun owner will be protected and not published. If anyone can help out, please forward them to sgpenney@gmail.com
 
BD38 to the smelter ??

Now that we all have turned in our beloved BD38 and are awaiting a cheque from the government I can only hope for one thing:
Please don't send these beautiful guns to the smelter,it would make way more sense to give them to museums or even to the various police departments to be used as a back up gun for their swat teams,after all they cost the taxpayer enough money !!

You're kidding about these as backup guns? Museums yes, but they won't do it.
 
Keep in mind that there has to be a legal justification for the classification. The Walther .22 bullpup was singled out because its barrelled action was fitted into a stock which was deemed prohibited.
If a bullpup is not a barrelled action/stock design, there is no legal basis for prohibition.
Auto converson is something else. The T97s failed on that basis. As much as it is popular to claim that the RCMP has unlimited power, their rulings have to meet the letter of the law, and legal precedents. The use of 10 round pistol magazines in semi auto centerfire rifles was approved because of the letter of the law.
