Finally a review of MILIPOL 2005!!!

[Scarecrow]

These are more importable if they are in Semi. ( well, the FN2000 semi is coming out soon, supposedly)

I beleive a marstar rep has already said they have no interest in importing these. Looks like Lever arms will be the people to talk to.

The above FN2000 rifle is a bullpup, it ain't coming here to Canada.

Bullpups are not illegal, buddy.

Aftermarket bullpup stocks are illegal.

(4) and (5) Part 4 — Prohibited Devices and Part 5 — Prohibited Ammunition
The class of prohibited devices includes certain components, parts or accessories. These are: trigger devices which allow a semi-automatic firearm to discharge several rounds in rapid succession; and "bull-pup" stocks which allow rifles and shotguns to be reduced significantly in length. Both of these items are currently prohibited by Prohibited Weapons Order, No. 9

There are a number of bullpup guns that are legal to own.

There is really nothing too fancy about the 7.62 SIG. It is basically the 550 version of the SG-542 which has been made for over twenty years. It even uses the 542 mags. Now I am not saying there aren't cool, just not really "new"

not exactly, according to the guy who took the pictures it uses M14-mags, since it's built for the US market.

that flash suppressor on the raptor carbine looks like it would be good for cutting barbed wire(lmao).we learned 40 years ago open ended flash eliminators were not good, but I guess them Israelis never been in the bush

 

[Kampfhamster]

The Raptor is from Truvelo, which is from South Africa, not Israel.

There are a number of Walther G22 owners who are about to go through a court case to determine if that will continue to be the case.

Thanks!

Excellent, I was hoping that's what mag it was but I couldn't be sure from the pics.

M-14 mags are durable, readily available and relatively cheap, IMO a better proposition than Sig factory mags.

It is the case. G22 was decided to be a gun with a bullpup stock, and not a bullpup firearm because it could be shot without the stock. The gun is now considered legal, but the stock isnt.

I just creamed in my pants when I saw this one, so nice.

Too bad H&K thinks we should all be disarmed.

Are the Tavor and Raptor prohib? I don't know if the Raptor is an AK/Galil Derivative, receiver reminds me of it but is clearly different.
