460 Wby really is prohibited

I have a customer who owns a fine old English double in 8 gauge. It is now prohibited by the same OIC. It is evaluated at $35K, I wonder how a "buy-back" for something like that will work.

Pretty much guaranteed they will put a cap on "compensation". Likely $2000 max per firearm.
Hence mass non-compliance is a certainty.
 
Utter stupidity that they say this won’t affect hunting, when they’ve pulled some fine English doubles under this ban. More will come.

It’s a dream to own a .577 I just received my first Double rifle. 450 no 2 and when the ban was announced I had to do some quick math to see if it was prohibited but under the .600 NE Obviously .

And punt guns are even more moronic. This has to one of the dumbest things I’ve seen a government try to accomplish. It does not hit the mark one bit.

I was having beers with a government writer who when I mentioned the bans, he said oh boohoo guys don’t get to play with their toys. I played it cool and explained it’s affecting hunting rifles and shotguns aswell now. He atleast was receptive and seemed surprised to find out the extent of the ban
 
Donating firearms to the cause

You know... that is a great idea. I've donated money towards the gofundme, but what about if people could donate firearms towards the cause?

Basically donate a firearm to a dealer (or group of dealers) that could then be sold and the money put towards the gofundme. Dealer takes a reasonable cut to cover expenses and profit.

It is beautiful in every way - money towards the legal fund, profit for a retailer, someone gets a new firearm and people would be donating firearms to fight to keep firearms.

There would have to be some rules so it wasn't just people sending broken junk off.. Like must be in safe working order, minimum value of xyz, etc.

I would also support the dealer being able to make profit off it (where I can see some would want to just cover their costs). I want to see firearm dealers thriving and successful.

Good idea. I might have, or maybe not, some prohibiteds that I'd be willing to donate -- if I have them.

In a way im glad they did this. Theyre pissing off people who are used to getting their way. If he can pay 400k for a gun you know he has politicians on both sides of the aisle on speed dial.
 
1 ft/lb = to 1.35582 J to get your conversions tp metric.

Just to point out, If you shoot the 460 Weatherby with a 450 gr (29 g) Truncated solid @ 2,660 ft/s, 7,072 ft/lbs which is 9491J then what?

We have a Westley Richards 577 Nito coming in (@243K US$ !!) in a couple of weeks. Just checked, still NR (for now) Guy waited four years and will be into it for just about exactly 400K CAN$ by the time it's in his hands. I wonder what compensation the government would be will to do if they were to confiscate it if it goes to prohib? (hate calling it a buyback when they never owned them in the first place)
