Johnone: Your timelines of service are not quite the same as what an individual receives. My AR-15 homebuilts are nearing their 3rd birthday since attempting to register them, and I have yet to hear anything new on them. Since I attempted to register them, I now see there is an FRT listing for homebuilt AR-15s, so maybe I should start all over. At least they remain in my posession.
My SAS-3 (semi auto sten) is at 2-1/2 years, and while a little headway was made over that time (mostly because they issued me a registration certificate in error at the 2 year point) the gun itself now languishes in the FRT labs while they make a decision as to it's legality. I had a promise of a decision by the end of July.....but in all fairness they didn't stipulate which year. They all come accross as great people when you talk to them, most of them having similar interests to ours. But I am starting to expect 5 to 7 years, not working days.
It's all very frustrating.

You would be breaking US law exporting it without a export permit. Since it will contain parts exclusively for prohibited automatic firearms (the unaltered bolt and sear for example) it would require an import permit from DFAIT. If the customs guys know their rules, they will sieze it from you. Or worse yet, they will let it through and NWEST will raid you in 3 months time. They will take your parts kit, any machine tools you have, and claim you had a workshop to make full autos. Then they will count all your .22 shells and tell the public how many rounds you had available, without specifying the caliber. Your neighbors will all freak out, and keep their children indoors for the next 6 months.
And before someone else says it, you cannot discuss breaking the law on CGN.
I built a semi -auto 1919a4 using a ORF 80% side plate, a KMP semi trigger & sear and did all the machining of the insides on the mill at work. I've been trying to register it since last June. Talked to a guy named Gary D at the CFC and was told it would not be a problem to register it. We even exchanged a couple of emails back then so I've got a paper trail. However since then nothing has happen and I’m still waiting for it to be registered.

If you get lucky they can still be found for $1200. Or a dewat can be found for between $600 and 1200, which will also yield most of the needed parts.
