Chinese Type 81, heard they are coming to Canada

That actually smells of BS to me, how can they be firearms technicians and claim this with a straight face? Does this process also include blueprints?

The lab has prohibited certain Chinese firearms simply because they have not been given full auto versions to compare the semi auto versions to, thus they have said they are unable to tell if the gun is easily convertible due to lack of information provided by the importer.

Not sure how the type 81 handles recoil, but the vz58 feels far better than shooting the sks to me, prbly similar recoil to the ak, but i like the idea of a nice long stroke piston in an ak, can see how the design refuses itself to failare, no middle man operation just gas>piston>bolt>gas

No, I'm really asking to be schooled here. It doesn't make sense to me, how is this determined?

It isn't about whether or not the parts to make a gun full auto are available, or easy to come by.

It is about "if you had the parts, how easy would it be to install the parts to make the gun go full auto."

If they don't have the actual go fast parts from a full auto to try in a semi, then they can't tell. So they prohibit.

never mind the dollar, importers will bring them in with a unit cost of $200 and slap a price on it for $1000 to distributors. Then the stores will mark it up to around $1250-1500 depending on the store. If this is the case it would be nice to stick together and let them sit in the hands of the importers and refuse to allow them to bend us over like the government does.
 
I see, so this is with parts designed originally for the gun and for the purposes of select fire? Does this assume that one could get drop in parts legally or fabricate them? We know several guns can be converted to select fire, and said conversions wouldn't be as designers intended (10/22, Glock, M305, AR-15's, a little knowledge of engineering and even youtube videos showing it.

I guess what I'm really missing is even a loose definition of easily convertible to select fire or full auto. This isn't trolling, I'm serious. Is a focus on firearms that had select fire designs, or do the same criteria (whatever they are) stand for designs that were only semi-auto from the get go?

From what you're saying here - it centers around can joe blow play lego and plug in the fun bits? Sorry, I'm confused by that line of thinking. If this is it, then okay.

These are a commercial design of the full auto version from what I understand with enough differences in the receiver and trigger mech that part of the military version will not work,,, these are norinco civilian firearms! I got that much out of this so far and I get the new shine on them making them desire able but people are talking crazy amounts of money they would shell out for a glorified SKS! That is what I don't understand,
 
Yes it seems pretty much if they figure Joe blow can make/or have the bits already then and they higher ups don't have a full auto to compare it to then yes they just prohib it
