Just a heads up

Police have been raiding houses and stores trying to get these bb guns back due to the fact that they use real ak47 parts and with a simple barrel change and bolt change can fire live rounds...

so if you have one either hide it or expect a possible knock on your door. Just trying to save people a headache I'm almost positive the OPP doesn't have a refund policy

A wonderful comment on that CBC article:

"I once easily converted a McDonald's soda straw into a blowgun when I was 11 years old. Since blowguns are prohibited weapons in Canada, shouldn't the RCMP be confiscating all the straws?"

The CBSA and RCMP clearly have to look like they're 'doing something,' given that they've dropped the ball everywhere else:

That's ridiculous. Can't a real AK be converted auto fairly easily?
Probably as easily as converting this to fire live rounds I would imagine.

The thread is a year old.
Apparently the air rifle was built on a real AK receiver.
Legally a receiver is a firearm, and the AK is a prohibited firearm.
