M1 Garand M5 grenade launcher legal in Canada?

[M1shooter]

Hello, I am new to Canadian Gun Nutz and was wondering if the M7/M7A1 grenade launching attachment for the Garand was legal in Canada.I have seen these for sale on the numrich gun parts website with a dummy grenade(rubber) Also, is there anywhere in Ontario or Canada where i could get one of these? (gunshow,etc) Thanks! oops, I meant m7 in the topic!

AFAIK grenade launchers and dummy grenades are not controlled/illegal at the present time. But wait for it because some eager beaver bureaucrat will no doubt get a rush of blood to the head some day and run this up the pole for his/her next promotion. Potato cannons might be next.

Do you know if you need an import/export permit to order from numrich gun parts? The amount would be less than $100.

^$200 for Canadians but they charge that damned fee.

The launcher itself is a controlled item as per CGD (a bit of a shadow organisation that has massive powers, on a slow day). Same with the "grenade". Nothing wrong with either of them as per Canadian "law", "regulations" are another matter however.

Crap. I would not mind one myself, maybe Tradex will bring in some.

"...dummy grenade(rubber)..." Inert training rifle grenades aren't rubber. They're steel. Multiple types of training grenades too.
The trick is finding .30-06 blanks. There are 2 kinds of blank. Training blanks and grenade cartridges. Difference is how far the training grenade goes. Training blanks launch 'em about 50 yards. Great fun. Safety first, of course.
Grenade cartridges are collector's cartridges these days.
The gun shows would be your best bet for finding one.
"...launcher itself is a controlled item..." Nope. Just an accessory.

Hell potato cannons are a hell of a lot more dangerous than guns haha, given their home made nature, wide range in design, quality of materials, etc.

One guy youtube member Mag30th was using a case full of 777 powder with a cotton batting wad on top and was getting good results.

Not sure you can get this company's products in Canada but at least you can ask your ammunition distributors to try. http://www.hi-vel.com/Catalog__24/Grenade_Launching_Devices___Ca/grenade_launching_devices___ca.html

Also not sure if these cartridges meet the military specification for grenade cartridges. I once contact the company and asked if they met specific specification and got no reply.

I have heard the propellants for grenade launching rounds are very slow.
