Large calibers... LARGE calibers.

Anzio 50BMG and 20mm

I looked into buying either the 50 or 20mm, or both. Like what was said, it's less than the price of a second car, and I'd probably get more pleasure from it. I have the cash. And I really need the firepower for the extremely dangerous, saber-toothed gophers around here. There is no way these are allowed in Canada. I asked Anzio if there was a way around, and I can't even buy through an FFL, it won't get past the border. If anyone knows different, I'd sure like to know. I'd buy the 50BMG (in White Camo) tomorrow if there was any way to get one. The 20mm would have to wait until Dec 31, when one of my GIC's mature.

So I know that there's a couple .50 BMGs that are legal and unrestricted here.
What I'm not clear on is are larger calibers like 14.5mm or 20mm Vulcan rifles legal?
This is mostly for the sake of knowing, but later on, if I have the money (d-d-doubtful) I might want to "varmint" with 1600 grains @ 3400ft/s. (<-- Hahahahah... Oh wow.)
This site seems promising.

If you think about it, a 15k rifle is nice instead of a second car or something.

So bigger than .50 BMG. I'd get the single shot, but is the take down model or the mag fed model legal?
These do seem pretty overpriced, but I don't see many other people making 14.5/20mm guns for civvies.

My large cal... 7,000 grains at 1,500fps qualify? Can't remember if I put a quarter or a tooney down there on the ground for scale, a bit back. Not that it really matters which it is...

The way you word that sounds as though Can. law bans the ownership of big stuff.
Not true, there are quite a few Russian PTRD and a few PTRS 14.5mm guns in private hands.
Perhaps what you meant to say was that these Anzio made guns are allowed OUT OF THE US.
Now, having a similar type gun custom built here in Canada could be done for a price. Give Alberta Tactical Rifle a call. Rick likes big stuff!

Last year I went down to Albany OR for a full auto shoot.
Some guy had a 20mm Lahti that he was renting out for $15 per round.I have had a hard-on for the Lahti ever since reading an article about it many years ago.
Anyway, after taking a shot, I got to talking with the guy. He reloads his brass and uses US surplus 20mm Vulcan projectiles. They have to be lathed down a few thou, as they are slightly over size for the Lahti bore.
He also said he bought a 100 pound drum of powder, and each round uses about 650 grains.
I did the quick math in my head, and pointed out to him that each pound is 7000 grains, so he gets just over 10 shots per pound, so just over 1000 reloads per 100 Lb drum.
He looked rather surprised, as he had never done the math,and thought it would last much longer!

Hahahaha. Why'd you go and do that? I bet shortly after that he adjusted his pricing

You are right. What I meant...There is no way these are allowed into Canada........The US will not allow Anzios to be exported into Canada.
