I’ve always liked milsurp and the history that revolves around them. I’m wondering if there are any that are missing semis from the following list that are considered NR.

M1 Garand
M1 carbine (with NR barrel)
M1a
Ag42
Hakim
Rasheed
Sks
SVT-40
Vz52/57
Fn49
G43
MAS49/56
 
Forgot about the Valmet M78, Had to look to see what the AR180B is, civilian version of the select fire AR18 so sortof applies, but wasn't a true Milsurp, Same I guess could be said about the SIG, I thought the MG34 was originally full auto and the one available in Canada is a commercial version, like the VZ61? Same for the M1919?

Did any of the 6200 MAS44's make it into Canada?

As for the comment about giving the list to the RCMP, please, if we're not allowed to discusses hobbies and interests you may as well just close this forum down :rolleyes:

I can understand from the way the OP question is put that a compiled list may be sought here or could be a purely innocent question but
 
My thought process is this, if the RCMP (who actually don't get to decide) wanted Semi-Automatic centerfire's prohibited, they wouldn't go after just milsurps. they'd ban the whole damn works, from sporting rifles, hunting rifles and even Shotguns. So naming one here or there (that they already know about) doesn't actually cause any harm, except if your tinfoil hat is on too tight.

As I said, my interest in them is from a historical point of view, as they played an important roll moving from bolt action lee enfields, to modern military select fire. now, if this discussion isn't allowed, Then report the thread to a moderator, and I welcome them to delete the thread.
 
Yes they sure did. I have MAS 44, 49, and 49/56 rifles, although they are scarce. :)

Hvae you heard of an RSC Mle 1917? or 1918 carbines? Now those are cool rifles!

Cool, Had no idea even though they were made in limited numbers that any of them made it over here! I've never heard of the RSC Mle 1917, had to look it up, watching the cycling and loading of it on forgotten weapons on youtube it's got a very unique action, I wonder how many of them survived?
 
There is also the Armaguerra Model 39; I believe as many as 2 of the putative 100 manufactured managed to hit Canada.

Remember also that the Winchester 1907 did see some military service, as did a small number of Remington Model 8s.

There could be others. The US military did do a test on the Standard, for example, the British tested the Cei Gas Rifle at least twice and so on.
