Lockhart renegade semi auto conversion

remove the disco from any semi and it is full-auto capable. the chicken littles on this forum baffle me.

as long as the govt bans guns by name instead of function there will be escalation. that is what arms manufacturers are designed and expected to do - adapt to the evolving battlefield. rapid evolution is the lifeblood of arms manufacturers.

while i have personally had poor service from Lockhart, this act should be rewarded. it is an indicator of a strong industry in canada.

as stated by atrs, the ability to convert one of these 'tactical straight-pulls' to semi auto has always been a possibility. remember that these things started as conversions to exisitng semis.

so, a vendor has finally advertised the service. is anyone here actually foolish enough to think that the govt wasn't aware of the possibility already? or just the folks that live in the consipracy-theory feedback loop of moronishness; that the govt is stupid and full of idiots, but at the same time flies around in black helicopters advancing international population control initiatives - chose your fallacy based on time of day and argument you wish to support.

as to whether Lockhart should be nodifying someone else's firearm, atrs again nails it - if Lockart does it to theirs then it is 'manufacturing'. it is modification if done to someone elses. it is a 'gunsmithing' serivce. gunsmiths can't work on other peoples guns? can't cut or thread a barrel? install a folding stock? omg!
 
It is embarrassing what passes for "innovation" these days.

Funny to watch people so obsessed with pwning Libs that they'll watch the scuzziest actors in our industry sandbag a competitor and call anyone who think its gross a bootlicker. And then, to act like its all a net positive for the community? Laughable.
Who is getting sandbagged?
 
I would like to see how that goes in court. I'm not sure the law has any provision for banning something that was manufactured legal and then modified to illegal by a third party. Sure, the modified thing could be declared as illegal and banned, but I'm not sure that could be extended to the original legal item.

As dfritter1 says, that would lead to a very interesting lawsuit.


It's not just vaguely worded, it is completely undefined. And that's not by accident, as you note.


Did you ever get one running as a PCC? I like the idea as well, just to stick a finger in the eye of the feds if nothing else.

I don't see why or how any of this matters. The government has already demonstrated numerous times it can OIC ban anything at any time and provide no rationale. Sue or challenge it all you want in court. Ask ATRS how that's going...

There's a big difference between banning a gun by OIC, and banning a gun through FRT.

And it seems unlikely to me that the government would issue an OIC to prohibit a single non-restricted bolt-action rifle solely because a third party is modifying them in a manner that is itself entirely legal.

Thats not true. Mostly the result of removing a disconnector from a SA is that the hammer follows the BCG and the gun doesn't fire.

This is a pretty decent argument.

If the govt wants to get into arguing "easily convertible" then how difficult is it for any gun owner to cut down a barrel to below the legal minimum? Ten minutes w a hacksaw is really all that would take. "Easily convertible" is a red herring they could use to ban every gun in the country.

If one knows their history, there are multiple examples of WWII bolt action rifles being converted to FA and John Browning converted a lever action rifle to SA / FA in the 1800's fer chrissake.

We are law abiding gun owners and the govt should not be writing laws to control things we might do, when we have not done those things.
 
Who CARES what a Lieberal government wants?!? Last I checked, those corrupt fvckers work for us, not the other way around.
EXACTLY.


respect the state!
Seriously? If the state wants to be respected, it should act accordingly so as to garner respect. I haven't seen that happening for more than a decade. :mad:


Someone should introduce a semi that's only available in pink with frills, anime-style or nerf-style or whatever, so that none may call it assault-style without getting hooted down.
See the Henry Homesteader. 🤷‍♂️


In other words, the Renegade is about to be banned because it "can be converted to a weapon of war designed for the battlefield". Good job Lockheart... I'll add you to the list of places I'll never purchase from.
Ya, let's blame a gun maker rather than the sh!tty govt enacting the bans. :rolleyes:


The RCMP was very close to banning the SKS because people weren't cleaning their guns and they were slam firing and mag dumping. It's not full auto by design, but it's "capable"
Uhhhhhh ...... NO.

A dirty gun that slam fires IS NOT "CAPABLE" of anything because it is MALFUNCTIONING. A firearm that slam fires or runs away is firing uncontrolled, which IS NOT FA, it is MALFUNCTIONING. If the gas pedal on your car got stuck and the car accelerated out of control would you say you were speeding? :rolleyes:

A centrefire rifle that slam fires is extremely dangerous to the operator and anyone in the vicinity. A stuck forward firing pin would most likely result in an OOB explosion, which in the case of an SKS is highly likely to end with bits of metal in the shooter's face.

They did make the gsg 16 in fluorescent hot pink and they still banned it lol
Maybe if they made the handguard of a semi into a green dildo they might get left alone?

Is there though? Last I checked, both lead to banned guns and no recourse for the owners/manufactures (at least recourse that has proven successful)..
 
It's funny how the pro semi auto crowd, who presumably are advocates of freedom,are so disrespectful of other people's opinions, especially when they know absolutely nothing about those people.

If my opinion is that this is a bad move by Lockhart that might result in further prohibitions, that view should be respected. You don't have to agree with it.
