I take no credit for this
what we have is a guy in canada trying to build one for us and then refering us onto someone who is currently in production, great stuff.
I am sure there is someone who will follow through on this and import them into the new small market we call home,
I thought the originator of this thread would want to import them but perhaps not, or make a deal to import them and then do some mods if he so chose.
Someone with a bit of a military like knowledge base would be best to fiddle with the clowns in ottawa to ensure they are not held up at the border for a long time, I suggest a dozen kits to start so the money tied up on both ends is not significant to place a damper on a slow border crossing, just in case,
then the next order LETS GO. I am sure that a fellow I called from alberta who has left for the shot show will be true to his word and try to contact the manufacture as it compliments his business (even though it is 22 long rifle and not 50 call) so it should be a go this year, hope by summer,
not saying it is a done deal just the interest appears to be there, still time to have someone else step up in canada, just making a note it was the starter of the thread who has helped see this further and not my ides, I just took a interest with the help of the idea put forth and followed up on it,
it will work, just takes time, my dad brought the last of the tommy full autos into canada, from the tennesse national guard, it sat in the police station for months as they refuresed to register it, I as a lawyer suggested a rather large lawsuit as it was physically in canada before the year end and applied to register it until they refused to act, got it registered to dad and so I have a soft spot (or a hard on as they say) for the tommy gun
DATE WAS JAN 1ST 1978 (30 YEARS AGO ALMOST TO THE DAY) at least I think that was the year they were then banned, this gives me great pleasure and would do a photo opp to piss off the media and government libs POETIC I AM SURE

I really wasn't interested in making a bunch of money on this project as I knew right from the start that the market was to small to retire on.
I wanted a Thompson and the government said I couldn't have one so this was my solution to telling the government to go f**k itself. I'm going to have my Thompson regardless of what they say (legally of course). I figured there would be a few more gunnutz like me so why not help them in getting one as well and maybe make a couple of bucks for my time. Once I got right down to the actual building part I realized that this was going to cost a lot of money to make as I was trying to duplicate as closely as possible a real Thompson with a 1022 stuffed inside it. It's almost there and you will have to take a second look to see if its real or not when I bring it out to the range. Now for me to make one for myself is easy as I have a small machine shop in the basement and can work on it as time permits but to make or have someone else make another 100 of them and then try and sell ALL of them for $600 or $700 per kit... well it ain't gonna happen. Its just way to much for me to invest in monetarily and also the personal time. So actually I'm glad we found someone who will be able to help the rest of you, that can't make their own Thompson, at least have a kit that gets you closer to having the real thing. When I get mine finished I will post a bunch of pics as to the design and build process I went through so others can make one themselves if they're so inclined. Thanks for the support guys.John

I've seen classified images of John's project. It is looking very aweseome!
I hope the manufacturer of these kits keeps us updated on when he might consider shipping to Canada, since, like others have stated, it is simply a Ruger 10/22 stock and does not include any controlled parts.

Mr AR15, I came tonight looking for specific info on your project. Remember reading about it around a year ago.
My dad would kill for a Thompson in a semi realistic looking form. And I would take one aswell. When you have yours done up, please post pictures.
Maybe I can "order" two from you?

Update: I'm just back from the SHOT Show.
Rick Timmins from Alberta Tactical Rifle Supply stopped by and checked out a
assembled Tommy Kit. He made it clear he was a true .50 Cal Guy but he did lower his standards (LOL) to take a look at the .22 Fun Gun Kit for you. Hopefully Rick can post here when he gets a chance. : ))
At the Show was the US Dept of Commerce, Bureau of Industry and Security; I spoke with them about how to get my Kit approved for export. The first step is I have to submit a Kit sample and application for export approval to the State Dept. They will determine if the Kit is legal to export, and if so, what agency will control it. A separate export license for each and every shipment must be obtained ($$$). Export has to be in fairly large quantities for each shipment to offset the export license cost.
After export approval is received, we may be able to consolidate shipments with other exporters and reduce costs. I will be working on it.
This will take time no doubt, so please have patience. ; )

Okay, well I just showed this thread to five of my friends who said they would all buy a kit, so there is a couple more....not including the one's I could sell to people at my club.
I'll take three just for myself at the least, and a couple more just 'cause they look kewl!
Seems to me these fall in the same category as the Krinker kits; Any reason why we're not talking to Questar to see if he can bring them in??

Awesome work FunGun, many thanks for all of your efforts. I for one, am looking forward to seeing this kits up here. If there is something we can do (i.e. get members to commit to a group buy, etc) pls let us know.

Had the pleasure of seeing and handling 1 of these little jewels at the show.
Also had a very positive chat with Fun Gun.
These are absolutely 1st class kits. As soon as I get word that these can be exported, I can not see any issues quite frankly other than bureacratic tap dancing being required which will take some time, I will be ordering some of these kits.
I have an exporter lined up to handle the paperwork so all we need is the U.S. government to let us do some business.
Stay tuned, I will be posting more as things unfold.

Tommygun Pics
I found some pics on a site that FunGun forwarded to me.
What an outstanding kit this is.
The last 2 pics are interesting to say the least.
I am definitly motivated to get at least one or more of these kits.
