Chinese Type 81, heard they are coming to Canada

Right. That would be a year or so ago.

1 year, 3-4 months ago depending on shipping times.

TI stated in February 2012 that they expected their sample to arrive in one months time. They confirmed in mid august 2012 that it was under review. Somewhere in between those times the review started.

The gsg stg44 started long before that, with blue line announcing it was at the lab in February 2011.

So stg44 = submitted February 2011
Type 81 = submitted march 2012 at the earliest, august 2012 latest.

Absolutely pathetic...
 
Yeah this is ridiculous how long they are dragging their heels. It's no doubt now because of their ability to no longer re classify once they have made the initial classification. We need to get a page going with all the current firearms awaiting classification and when they were submitted.
 
Couldn't we submit a Access to Information request from 2012-01-01 to 2014-10-14 for a list of all firearms submitted for classification by date of arrival and date of completion and the outcome and reasoning?

We could then use that information to give to MP/Media/Etc to put pressure on them to explain why it is taking such an unreasonable amount of time to complete, and hopefully get the process sped up with some accountability.

Just my 2 cents...

Frustrating. So essentially a firearm could be classified prohibited and there is the chance we would never hear about it.

No. It would be added to the Firearms Reference Table with a prohibited classification.

Those awaiting classification can take a days for existing typed, to years for new classification designs depending on heritage.
 
I really wanted one(or two...) of these...

Pending firearms should be evaluated in max. 30 days once the firearm is submitted. As someone else mentioned, if during the evaluation it can't be converted in 30 minutes it's then not considered "easily" convertible and classed unrestricted.

The RCMP should not be classifying they should only be policing.
It's no more dangerous than an SKS but they're stalling just because of the way it looks f:P:2:

Bet they spend all this time and money figuring out the best way to get it F/A in under 30 minutes?
 
Is there anything in law that compels the RCMP to complete an evaluation of a firearm?

Is there any reason why they can't keep every new gun in limbo forever?

Keeping a gun in limbo is basically no different than a defacto-prohib status given to any new gun they feel like.
