Does this look as scary as AK for feds?

[TeaPot2]

this is vepr 308 super. yes, I know it shares the design with AK, but it's a different rifle and not even look alike. Saiga and AK preatty much the same... but vepr has it's own receiver...Is this still no-no to bring to Canada?

here is the parts diagram not the best quality but gives an idea

I'd buy!~
looks ###y.

 

[Goozyman]

looks like my Benjamin airgun

My bet is "prohibited - modified AK action or variants".

Maybe if you paint it pink with white bunnies on top they might consider allowing it. But lets be honest - it is in fact modified ak action. So no.

Never happen if it's based on the ak. That door is sadly closed I think. If it's a distant cousin, maybe. But I doubt it.

###y, I'd totally buy one if, AFAIK, the VEPR wasn't prohibited by name.

Maybe you're dealing with the wrong Russians.

Why is it that the Valmet Hunter is allowed?

Armrus from Montreal had received the OK to bring them in... when the container showed up they changed their mind... God only knows where that container is now.

I had read somewhere that the Army bought Valmet for thier Rangers and as these are privately owned c68 did not prohibit them.

C68 initially prohibited the Valmet Hunter, but an owner challenged the classification in court and eventually won, so it was reclassified again to non-restriected. If you look at the regs, the Valmet hunter is specifically named as non-restricted. Thanks Greg!

The closest you will ever come to owning that type of rifle is by purchasing the Valmet Hunter or the Valmet M78, specifically named as non-restricted.........hence the cost, approximately 3-4 grand.
