M1 Garand and G43 are they legal in Canada

 

[john777]

Garand is non-restricted. Don't know about the G43... someone else will have to chime in.

 

[aliceminer]

I hope g43 is non-restricted as well

Garand's legal and actually exempted from the 5 round magazine limit because of it's 8 round en bloc clip.

Wow, the G43 is PRICEY! It's definitely legal here. But i don't know what class it falls under.

I hope to buy the Garand one day. I appears that my budget has shifted towards reloading equipment. Garand and other goodies on my shopping list will have to wait.

So it is legal but the magazine has to been pinned to 5 rounds?

In reference to the Garand, No. It is exempt from the 5 round limit.
The standard 8 round enbloc clips are good to go.

is there a "long mag" for it
like 35 rounds LOL

I'm getting off topic here, but if you want to shoot 10 rounds in an AR-15, just buy the pistol mag that is compatible with the AR (I forget the name) and it's 100% legal.

Instead of the G43, I'll buy the Tavor (non-restricted) with extra cash left over.

 

[aliceminer]

For Tavor how many rounds can you legally have?

 

[john777]

5 rounds, as far as I understand. Very few semi-automatic rifles are allowed more than 5rounds. There is a 3rd one, but I don't remember the name. Perhaps, there is more.

 

[aliceminer]

Can you convert it to rimfire so you can have unlimited rounds?

 

[JohnC]

I understand ( don't own one - yet) the Tavor takes AR-15 type mags. So a 10 round LAR15 pistol mag would work and be legal.

 

[john777]

I know rimfire can be unlimited for bolt-action rifles, but beats me when it comes to semi-auto.

Doubt the Tavor can be converated to .22lr any time soon or any other calibre.

It does!? NICE!!! Didn't know Tavor accepts LAR15. I want Tavor evenmore now! LOL!

no, it has an 8 shot clip and won't operate without-ie you open the bolt and shove the whole thing in, clip and rounds

the garand is an enclosed clip action- there is NO magazine projecting from the bottom- if you see one,it's either an m14 or an experimental when they tried to use bar mags( 20 rounds) and they don't come in rimfire- and no conversions- to do so would reqire a complete re-design - unless there's a trainer version out there somewhere- even then , it would be limited to 8 rounds, same as the big boy
take a look at the trainer smle sometime

The G-43 is non-restricted, it has a 10 round detachable magazine that has to be pinned to five rounds.

Two totally different animals. When you buy a G-43, you buy a piece of history...
