How to get myself a Walther PPK?

PPK's seem to be holding their value pretty well. Unless there are some cheap ones for sale that I don't know about.

Havent seen a PPK over 300$ in a while....
 
I dont know about other people, but posting crap like : Dont do this and dont do that to that gun seems ignorant. We dont tell you what to do with your guns, and most of us will never have a chance to own a 12.6 handgun so we want the closest thing to it. By all means if you 12.6 owners want to drive down whenever I want to go shoot a 12.6 fine then. The thread was "How to get myself a PPK" not "You tell me what I should do with my gun and money."

Anyway, best bet is to find a cheap 12.6 PPK and get it rebarreled and verified.
 
Didn't James Bond have a silenced PPK??? So the barrel must have been extended and threaded ...
I have a Manurhin PPK in .22 calibre and find it fun to shoot.

Do you have a brother, sister, father or mother with 12(6)? If so, they could buy one made before 1946 and then sell it to you under 12(7).

Can this actually be done ??
The way I understood it was that your relative would have had to have the pistol registered under his/her name continuously since '86 or whatever year that was...???

This cannot be true or else I'd have already gotten my uncle to buy Lugers, PPK's, big old Webleys etc. etc.

Please let me know if I'm wrong as that would be SWEET !!!!

Can I acquire a prohibited firearm if I am not grandfathered?
No you cannot:

Exception: If you are not grandfathered, the only prohibited firearms you may possess or acquire are handguns with a barrel length of 105 mm or less or that discharge .25 or .32 calibre ammunition, and only if all of the following criteria are met:

the handgun was made before 1946, and
the handgun was registered in Canada on December 1, 1998, and
you are the child, grandchild, brother, sister or spouse of the lawful owner, and
you are acquiring it for an approved purpose such as target shooting or as part of a collection.
In these circumstances, you can lawfully possess the handgun in question, but you are not grandfathered or authorized to acquire more prohibited handguns.
