Just curious if there's any way to get one for collecting? If so where would I start looking? I'm pretty sure it still has to be registered and all that but that's fine with me. Any info would be great
Is there any way to own a deactivated MP5?

Not that I own one but I have helped a guy get a deactivated FN Fal. I located the rifle classed 12(5) from a grandfathered owner. Got the sale done and sent to a gunsmith. Deactivated and verified as so. Then removed from the registry and the new owner (not even a non restricted PAL) picked it up at the gunsmith. Same thing could be done for an MP5. If your realy an MP5 fan (my wife is) You could pick up a mini SAF. A very similar sub gun. I got my wife an airsoft MP5 that you can't tell the difference until you remove the mag and see the odd feed lips. I know the discussion of airsoft is taboo in these forums but we are gun owners and this being the only one we have was purchased only for it's close as possible aspect for our collection. We don't play games with it or even shoot it.

Yeah I would like to get a real steel mp5 deactivated. I have a gas blow back mp5 with HK markings but I still think the real deal would be really cool. Maybe marstar could import one to be deactivated?
Gas blow back mp5? Can you explain or show me what this is?

YouTube vfc mp5 airsoft. Just a full metal airsoft gun.
What makes you "pretty sure", if you dont know for sure?
If it is deactivated, it is no longer a firearm. It does not even require a PAL.
(However, if you point it at someone, then the Criminal Code treats it as a firearm. )
Vega Force Company makes a propane powered 6mm caliber MP5 (airsoft), there are also some much older models that run on external air and some less accurate models that fire from an open bolt for some reason, but... well.. i forget what my point was
I have a Vector in airsoft, and people #### all over airsoft alot, know what My kriss can do that yours cant? mine has a fun switch, 2 round burst, and full auto, I can also shoot in my basement, and I can shoot my best friend in the nuts, and laugh about it after instead of calling a paramedic
Only point I can add is that such a beauty may be hard to find. Since it's a collectors piece and depending on the quality of deactivation you may be paying the same as you would for a firing MP5 (if you were legally able to get one).
Good luck.

So wouldn't it be possible for a company to import say a used one then have it deactivated?
No can do. No prohibited firearms are allowed to be imported into Canada.
The difference is one is a firearm the other is a club.
Not really, one is a club.. the other is a paper weight, that can only be used as a club. Both pretty, both useless.. the only time having a prohibited would be beneficial over the deactivated would be if SHTF.
It is my understanding that a dewat full auto can only be imported by an importer licenced for the importation of full autos, as if it were still functional. It would have to then be certified as deactivated according to current Canadian standards.
Thats not even out to lunch anymore, thats like having a picnic in the woods.
You have no clue what you are talking about, please stop.
This is correct.
