Gsg stg-44 non-restricted rifle

[H Wally]

So help me understand this, without going through the wole thread; the STG44 is not a named prohib, theirfor they couldn't call it a varient of a prohibited firearm right? So the only way they could prevent it from coming in, would be to prohibit it by saying it could be "easily converted", correct?

Assuming that's true, the only real reason I can see this taking so much time, is that billy-bob at the RCMP lab is busting his hump trying get the thing to go full-auto by machining a whole new fire-control group. Gaads.......

Basically yes. They're getting pretty frustrated I think since they prohibed or restricted the AK 22's, MP-5 22's and the better AR 22's based on the variant argument. This one they're obviously having problems with . Downside is that they're determined and don't generally play by the rules.

Nice video reviews thanks.

I have some concerns he mentioned the bolt being similar to a 22 converersion for a AR-15.

There are only so many ways to skin a cat.

I'd like to see GSG build a belt fed MG42 in .22LR. That would be epic.

As cool as that would be, I don't think such a venture would be profitable.

will there be any reservations/booking for the stg 44 when its available? also what colors/styles will there be?

When was cat skinning so popular that there was more than one way to do it?

Possibly because one definition of "skinning the cat" refers to the unpleasant physical effects of excessive masturbation.

Anyway...

How can it take this long to properly classify a .22lr rifle?!

Different colours/styles? There is only one. Blued metal, walnut stock

in fact, i've seen 2 variants... the one you are referring to and this one. http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?570808-Gsg-stg-44
the difference being the black hand grips.

Your link takes us right back to the very first page of this thread tho???

Ive only seen the one that Blue Line is trying to bring in. Seems to be the same as the ones the Americans have

Sigh... by the time this rifle is classified in Canada the amish will have stopped making those wooden boxes to go with it =(

 

[Cdn303]

That's ok. I can make one. I've even got a Reichsadler stencil.

 

[mcpherson284]

sigh... if they made a thomson m1a1 or chicago typewriter .22 rifles I would buy one in a flash!

I know and understand what you are saying, I would to if we LEGALLY could, but Thompsons 1921, 1927, 1928 (1928A1), M1 and M1A1 are Prohibited by class and was put down as "Variant there of" as being Prohibited. Your best best is the Ruger 10/22 kit, which isn't legally allowed to be shipped up here yet.

Umm, the 10/22 Thompson kits have been up here for a while now.

Send SITREP, over.

Yah, I remember seeing one at a Montreal gun show 3 or 4 years ago.

I think the RCMP are trying to pull a BD38 job on this rifle.
