Any word on the GSG mp40 coming into canada?

If one of these was submitted for classification back in 2014, wouldn't it be close to the top of the list now? I mean is 3-4 years typical for classification, or is that a long time?

I mean if you want answers talk to either the RCMP or Blueline.

All I can say is that the Walther HK G36 .22LR initially applied for an FRT number in 2015, but apparently a change in standards happened in 2014/2015 after the CZ 858/PE90 fiasco which required all new imports to be physically inspected. So the G36 wasn't classified until 2017 when a sample was imported.

4 years of experimenting to make them full auto. Year one: paper clips and Popsicle sticks. Year two: filing bits. Year three: installing full auto components. Year four: replacing original receiver with full auto one, and full auto components. VOILA! = easily converted.
 
Round 2 begins, a "Canadian" Version has now been submitted to the RCMP. The first one got turned down I guess but either way more waiting...

What was changed in the Canadian version? Can this actually happen?

There are 4 reasons to prohibit something

1. Be a handgun that is too short (not a handgun)
2. Be cut down (factory gun so not a problem)
3. Be full auto or converted (might be problem)
4. Named Variant (not a problem)

If the first version was rejected they most likely changed the internals to make it more difficult to make full auto, and if they are aiming for non-restricted .22LR then make the OAL 660 mm as the original is 640 mm.

The 9mm version will most likely be a Restricted rifle as I don't envy GSG in making a 18.6" rifle barrel.
 
The one that got sent in was the longer barrel version with the fake suppressor barrel shroud. Internals were changed but not sure to what degree. The way they handle the classification process now seems a bit faster but I won't hold my breath for the RCMP.

I always mention this when speaking to conspiracy fudds about how they "gon take er guns"

Why would they be approving more and more black rifles / semi's only to take them away in the future?
 
Well, they approve guns because the law allows it. Thry hinder and delay for years but have to do their job eventually. They then 'reclassify' to break our spirit to make us less likely to buy and hopefully get rid of what we have voluntarily. The 10/22 mag ban was a political decision. If they can sow uncertainty about such a common rifle then everything is fair game. That's not a 'conspiracy'. They are very alarmed that people still want to buy these guns and have turned to the media and government to 'do something'.

Just curious, where are you getting this info from? Was it blueline that submitted? They're the official GSG distributor .
