Gsg-16 legal status - public announcement

baldabe said:
For the sake of disclosure I am not on a pre-order list for the GSG-16, nor have purchased a ATI version.
I am however going to buy one eventually.

One question that's bothering me is how many new products (FRT numbers) has IRG introduced on their own to the Canadian market?
I remember the CZ Scorpion Evo3 drama involving Wolverine and IRG. I'm sure there are other incidents. It always seems a Canadian importer gets approval to import (FRT number) and then IRG steals their thunder by using the approval (FRT number) to import from USA.

I bought the Walther HK G36-22 via IRG who sent the sample rifle the Firearms lab and they basically did all the paperwork getting it classified NR.
 
I find it funny after BL gave their side. The several people that went around different posts demanding answers before hearing both sides, telling people to cancel their pre orders, calling them out, calling them names. Quickly changed their tune. But offered no apology.

what apology? Right now its still a his word her word. We will never know what actually happened that instigate this whole thing.

Did someone snitch? who knows? Did the RCMP saids " hey wait a minute, we classed 1 of these prohib. What now?"

Too many Ifs in this whole shxt show still. There are no way for any of us to confirm which side has the real story.

You were one of the active ones bouncing around thread to thread chirping BLS, talking about cancelling your preorder and supporting IRG instead. Yet its still "his word her word" :rolleyes: just skimming through your previous forum posts from the past 24 hours is an emotional roller coaster.
 
Typical for IRG

Greasy, greasy, greasy...

*** Note- I have not ordered a GSG 16, and it's unlikely I will ever be interested in one.

It's okay if you love IRG, that's your opinion and I'm okay with that. My opinion of IRG is that they are greasy.

Some people love drama.

Normal people sit back and wait.

Drama Queens gotta be drama queens, I guess...Laugh2
 
I have no dog in this fight, but I sent IRG a PM about landed costs for the GSG-16 and never got a response. Will order from Blue Line instead...

I have a feeling customs may have triggered this. BLS'S shipment just came in so customs probably held it as they figure out whether or not they are prohibited or non restricted. Then they probably backtracked previous shipments and noted IRG'S shipments and asked RCMP to clarify. This probably prompted them to investigate. Probably why BLS shipment took a while to receive.

That's what I was thinking.... explains the delay.

IRG is not grey market. They are also Canadian. Suggesting otherwise is dishonest.

How come? IRunGuns is not a Canadian distributor, representative, etc of most, if not all, products they bring into Canada... That makes them Grey Market by definition... Don't get me wrong, I've shopped from them and probably will do again but that will happen only when I have no other option...!

IRG is not gray market! If they were, RCMP would have shut them down!

No they would not... IRunGuns is a grey market business and there is nothing wrong with it... In the USA there is a huge photography Grey Market that is legal and sells cheaper than regular pricing...! You think you're getting a cheaper product, but lack of warranty, when needed, actually makes them more expensive...

Then phoned them and recorded the call. Despicable.

I record all my calls. Phone oes it automatically.
How is it despicable for me to call and try to get clarification about something that directly affects me?? I have money in this. Do you??

Did you listen to the call? I was nothing but polite and was just trying to understand what was going on. And got hung up on.

Not sure what problem you have with me, but you need to ask yourself if you're directing your frustration towards the right person.

Youza.
