I think I am one of the few around here who is not anonymous. Not by any stretch, and this coming from a guy who calls himself HKMark23. From the East.
And your banter, (at least in relation to the idea of them issuing prohib 12.x license's) was retarded
I don't try to impress, that part just comes naturally
Glad you enjoyed it.....
I wonder if Alberta Tactical Rifle Supply would drop this bomb again, if they saw all this reaction.....
It's obvious that some people know exactly what is going on with all of this, I have spoken with a few of them, none of them released all the details, and even when piecing it all together the picture is hazy at best. There are definitely a lot of un seen factors here, and we are going to be in limbo, perhaps for quite some time, and perhaps not. The people who know whats going on are not going to tell us more until there are some more solid details to report on. It's a shame, because there are more than a few who know exactly whats up.
What we know for sure is a business member out there received a SAN rifle on trade in, they believed it was a converted auto, (I think it was because the Lower receiver was in fact a C/A but not the upper, which is what matters, apparently there are several C/A lowers out there and there not the issue) they then contacted the RCMP and stirred this entire pot, they claimed a reputable business (a competitor of theirs) was selling converted auto guns. They then sent three PE-90 rifles to the RCMP for examination, one was the rifle they claimed was a C/A, and the other two were random samples. The rifle in question was determined to be a SEMI only rifle.
So we can relax right......WRONG....... The two samples were determined to be converted auto's. This opened a huge can of worms.....
It apparently has nothing to do with ########
( < Censorship sucks dude), he is a complete POS for another reason entirely, and should be shunned and boycotted from any firearms circle we know of, and so should anyone else who does what he did, which for the record was build some Blow back
Sten guns in his basement and when the RCMP told him he couldn't build blow back SMG's because they were easily converted to auto, he said to them, "What about the BD38, it's the same thing", and so the RCMP went out and stole everyone's BD38's. End of Story. The guys a douche.
From some of the things I have been able to find out, beyond this entire incident of someone contacting them, the RCMP have received a FAMAE SG540 for review, and a SAPR for review. The SAPR is clearly marketed as a derivative of the SG550. When the SAN rifles first came into the country, they were marketed as a derivative of the SG540 (By who, Our Side or theirs) , well since the RCMP apparently never bothered to look at the SAN rifles when they first came in they never knew any better. Now that they have compared side by side, and seen the differences between the FAMAE SG540, and our PE-90's. They can plainly see that it's a different design, so they compare the PE-90's to the SAPR, and realize they are almost identical except for caliber......But the SAPR is marketed as a derivative of the SG550, and those are prohib by name......Catching my drift? They have realized their screw up.....Hence this letter to SAN to answer some of their questions. We will have to wait and see.
When the SAN rifles were first imported, the importer had said that they were based on the SG540. Unfortunately, the RCMP has also recently received several SG540's for testing. It has become apparent that the SAN rifles are in fact likely derivatives of the SG550. (Source will remain un named)
