Baker Gun Co Trap 12GAx2 3/4″ 32″bbl

What? Is that a repro of the Confederation Bridge on the barrels? What a F"ing eyesore! :nest:
 
Not quite. It says you cannot possess for the purpose of hunting migratory birds. It doesn't say possession while hunting migratory birds is straight-up illegal:



You are joking right or never got stopped migratory bird hunting. One lead round even near you and you are TOAST other than wood #### in select areas
I quote

Effective September 1, 1999, the possession or use of lead shot for hunting migratory game birds was banned. Lead shot is still permitted for hunting Woodcock, except
when hunting within National Wildlife Areas.
Non-toxic shot types that have been tested and approved for use in Canada include:
• steel shot
• tin shot
• tungsten-iron shot
• bismuth-tin shot
• tungsten-polymer shot
• tungsten-matrix shot

I am not joking. I quoted the legalese and provided a link for anyone who wants to look more indepth at it... What are you quoting?

Now, I'm sure we can all imagine a world where a CO would take the opinion that having lead shot in your possession means you intend to use it on migratory birds, but a CO's opinion is not the law, even if they can charge you based on that opinion.

I live in the real world in canada not your imaginary world and been checked at least 12 times over the years even my truck which was like 1000 feet from the blind for toxic shot
How about you give it a try , get charged and let us know how you make out
Just when I think I have read it all here I read your post .You don't hunt waterfowl much to get away with it
Did you even read what link you posted??

no person shall

(a) possess, for the purpose of hunting a migratory game bird, except a woodcock, band-tailed pigeon, mourning dove or Eurasian collared-dove, shot other than non-toxic shot; or

- OK, since we're going off topic... Wouldn't been in the possession of lead shots while hunting migratory birds, fall in the same category has having a un-sealed liquor bottle in the car?

All I could find is

https://laws-lois.justice.gc.ca/eng/regulations/C.R.C.,_c._1035/FullText.html
15.1 (1) Subject to subsection (2), no person shall

(a) possess, for the purpose of hunting a migratory game bird, except a woodcock, band-tailed pigeon, mourning dove or Eurasian collared-dove, shot other than non-toxic shot; or
 
possess, for the purpose of hunting a migratory game bird

Wouldn’t try it in a blind or boat setting though; removes culpable deniability, as you are almost certainly only hunting waterfowl.

Possessing it while upland hunting in blaze orange and also carrying non toxic in case you run into a duck? Very different story…

Either way it’s not like the gun can’t be used for pass shooting on occasion and upland most of the time; brybenn is just blowing smoke as usual

I will tell that to the next DNR officer when he is checking my 10ga semi and tell him I am after wood ####

Its cute how you bold the part that is relevant to your point, and then completely ignore the next 9 words. If your purpose of possessing it is not hunting waterfowl, its not illegal. Now, good luck convincing the CO that's not your intention, but how COs interpret the law they are supposed to enforce is a whole different discussion.

Have to admit, the Henry really fits that bill. And they're a handsome looking gun.

OP, what about procuring a decent older Cooey 840, or CIL, and make a project out of it?

Most barrels are robust enough for steel, and can be machined and threaded for thin wall chokes?

Just a thought, but someones older beater, might be a decent platform to do a small build. I sold an older CIL to a guy 2 years ago, and he did just that.

Was just about to suggest a Cooey, or a Baikal. They are well built for the price.
 
Post up a few pictures of your 4e if you get a chance. Would like to see it.

I only have a wide view camera on my phone as the other camera is malfunctioning. I will try to get some pics. I dont have any on this phone. To bad you werent coming to the sxs classic. I could bring it and let you shoot it
 
Sorry 3macs1 ... all the bridges behind you have burned ....

How is the TSS reloading going for you LOL and I don't have to turn around . Not me on the wrong road or a dreamer. Still butt sore I see at me. What happened to putting me on ignore :) I have no feelings so don't let that stop you
