AR legal????

I doubt that case law would contradict discharging a firearm on the property where it's registered, assuming no municipal laws forbid discharge of firearms.

In other words, it ain't gonna fly in a city's limits, but in rural saskatchewan, it just might!
 
Rgr -- I should have pointed out that in my examples - that the owners of the property where WELL out of the city and not in any area or county that had a firearms discharge ban
 
You did use the word "Section" of land.
That implies a large tract of land (1 square mile, IIRC?)
 
Here's what the CFC site says.

To be authorized to have restricted firearms for target shooting purposes, you must provide proof that you practice or compete at an approved shooting club or range.

For more information about approved shooting clubs and ranges, contact your CFO by calling 1 800 731-4000.

I checked the Act and the CCC and you are 100% correct, nothing there. So if you belong to a club for target practice/competition, it doesn't stop you from shooting on your land if it's a safe place to do so?
 
Your mags might be a nuisance to pin/plug to 5 shots, but you'll be able to sell them easily here. The US export regs lately have made it hard for our guys to get somethings across the border.

One thing the folks have not emphasized is our licencing system. To legally possess firearms, you need the right card in your wallet. To get a licence you need to apply on a long complicated form and show proof of passing the federal exam. It is a guns-for-dummies course with a 1" study book that will bore you to tears and scare you to think someone actually got paid to write that drivel. But you can just challenge the written and handling exams. Not recommended because there are things you would not know without completing the material. One course for long guns and a separate one for restricted. No licence, no firearms in your possession from the moment you come into the country.

The other thing which comes up is an official letter of good conduct from your local police department. It is your reference check to get past the normal residency and character references.
 
It'll make things vastly easier for you if you take and pass the Canadian Firearms Safety Course (CFSC) and the CFSC-Restricted. Once you have your PAL with Restricted endorsement things'll go much smoother for you. You'll also have to have your AR registered and verified. You can get that done prior to importation and have your ATT waiting for you at the border crossing.

BTW: I'd simply store the 47 30 round AR mags you got, as you said you'll still be visiting the US. Keep them there and buy new mags up here in Canada. You'll find that our mag prices are a lot higher than in the US, but with the 5 round limit for "rifle" AR mags and now, the new 10 round "pistol" AR mags, you aren't going to be running cases of 5.56 through them at each range visit anyway.
