Did we ever get any of these up here? If so, were they restricted or non and what dis they cost? I know they were based on the prohibited H&K stuff, but technically so is the SL-8, and we can get those.
 
does it look mean? is there a red aura around it ? does it look like it might be capable of being used by unseen forces ? then it is mostly restricted or prohib or on its way there LOL
 
I just checked it out. Looks very similar to the SL8. You would think it would be non-restricted but logic doesn't enter into Canadian gun laws.
 
It's based on the G91, which is specifically named in the list because it's based on the G3.

I would have to guess that the SR9 would be prohib as well, seeing that it is indirectly based on the G3.

The SL8 is based on the G36, which isn't on the prohib list.

I know the SR9 is based on prohib stuff, and I also know that the G36 isn't on the current prohib list. That said, good luck getting a G36 up here. And seeing as how we can't get g36's but can get sl8's, I don't see why we couldn't get sr9's. But now, having said I'm interested in them, I'm sure someone, somewhere with more power then me will say no, just to spite me.
 
Did somebody say black rifle?:D

This is pretty much bang on.

There are a couple of other Semi HK sporting type rifles that are non-restricted. They are rare and pretty expensive, but they do turn up from time to time.

I saw one of these on the used rack at Royal Sportsman in Burnaby a week or so ago.

edit to add.

The issue with the G36's isn't a legal problem, it's HK's policy of no civilian sales of G36's.

I always assumed that the G36 was just missed when the prohib list was last updated. Aren't they full auto? If they're not on the list, can I import one if I'm willing to jump through all the hoops?

It'll be a variant of the HK-91.

I'll go dig into the OIC's and see what I can track down.

Located under OIC 13.

And from HKPRO:

The SR9 series were the results of HKs efforts to comply with the Bush "assault rifle" import ban of 1989. In the aftermath of the Patrick Purdy Stockton, CA schoolyard shooting, some politicians declared war on these "evil" guns and the relentless pushes for a ban began in earnest. In March, 1989, President Bush bowed to political pressure and declared by executive order that these guns were no longer legal to import. To accomplish this, ATF was left to decide what exactly was "non-sporting" about guns like the HK91, 93 and 94. They came up with features like pistol grips, flash hiders and bayonet lugs as being unsuitable for sporting purposes.

The SR9 series was the way of acceding to those new regulations. The HK91 was changed into the HK911 during the transitional period when importation of the HK91 was halted, but many HK91s were already in the country. HK Sterling stamped an extra '1' after 91 and this gun changed relatively little, other than it was now named something else, and not included on an import ban list.

The SR9 series consists of three rifles that HK imported for a time prior to 1994 and the Clinton Assault Weapon ban. They are:

The SR9: Basically an HK91 without the familiar flash hider, the pistol grip and traditional buttstock. Now present was the 'thumbhole' stock endemic to so many post ban semiautomatic firearms. Substituted for the traditionally rifled barrel was a new heavier polygonal bore barrel and enhanced buffer system.

The SR9(T): Simply an SR9 with a PSG1 trigger, pistol grip and an MSG90 buttstock. ATF deemed the target features to comply with the 'sporting purposes' edict, and allowed importation.

The SR9(TC): Simply an SR9 with PSG1 trigger group, pistol grip and buttstock. The forearm would not accept a bipod on any of these models. The standard HK91 furniture would readily install though. With a standard HK91 forearm and bipod installed, the gun became the rifle used by Billy Zane in the movie "Sniper" that I asked the trivia question about on the PSG1 page. All models are illustrated below.

Some are full-auto, some aren't. Depending on barrel length they are either classed as non-restricted or restricted.

There's no stopping you from importing one, but you would have to find one first. HK does not sell them to civilians. They are not legal down south so you would have to find one outside of the continent that somehow made it into civilian hands and deal with the export rules and shipping requirements of bringing it in from overseas.
 
So NavyShooter, I take it your post is ment to imply that we can not get them up here? That's pretty lame, considering they were designed to comply with stricter laws. Oh well. I guess I'll have to settle for trying to find a G36.

HK does not have a "no civilian sales" policy. The German law prevents them from selling "military-style" rifles to civilians. That's the reason why they had to come up with the SL8 frankenstein instead of simply selling a semi-auto G36.

Skippy,

It'll be a prohibited weapon. If you do not currently own a firearm of the class required (type 12(5)) you never will.

The laws it was designed to comply with were those of the USA, not of Canada. Our laws do not make sense.
