M14 -> Finland?

If you can wait a month or so, pm me. I have family going back to Sweden in august, I might be able to send one along. I don't know how hard it would be to get it from Sweden to the moominstrollen :D

If Swedish laws are like Finnish ones, your family member will have to demonstrate ownership and a reason to bring the firearm into Sweden(attending a shooting competition / hunting trip, etc), and the Swedish police will give you a temporary possession license to have the firearm for that specific period of time in country. At least that is the way it was when I shot an IPSC competition in Finland 12 years ago. I sincerely doubt they will allow a Canadian to sell a firearm in their country on a temporary possession license.

PL84 is going to have to find someone in Canada to do the export paperwork and a dealer in Finland who will do the import paperwork from whom he can buy it. A registered dealer in Finland can import from Canada, they probably just don't want to cause the effort is not worth it.

PL84,

Tervetuloa webbisivulle. Mina asuin Suomessa 15 vuotta sitten ja opiskelin arkeologiaa turun yliopistossa. Mina ammuin TIPSCin kanssa (Turku IPSC), hyvat hemmot. Mina omistin Suomessa 40kal Tanfoglion (viides 40kal maassa) ja Carl Gn 6.5x55.

Jos haluat ostaa aseen Kanadasta, sinun taytyy ensiksi loytaa myyja Kanadasta, joka suostuu myymaan sen suomalaiselle asekauppiaalle. Myyjan taytyy tayttaa maastavientilupa (export license). Suomalaisen asekauppiaan on taytettava maahantuontilupa. Ja luultavasti sinun taytyy maksaa kaikki etukateen. Tama on mahdollista tehda, koska mina selvitin itse tata prosessia muutama vuosi takaperin.

Mina omistan M14 Norincon, hieno pyssy.

That means you personally can move freely from Sweden to Finland, but if you want the firearm legally into Finland do you still not have to declare it with the raijavartio guys?

Honestly, i'm not sure what i need to do when i import a gun from some other EU country. All i know is that it isn't hard :)...
 
My brother is going back to sweden, and he's a Swedish citizen, he will have no problem bringing the gun into sweden, if the m14 isn't prohib over there.

I'll phone the Gestapo in Sweden tomorrow morning and see what hoops need to jumped through.

PL84- check your laws, it might just be easier to ship one over to you directly from here. Not as a sale, but as a "gift" I will also phone the cfc to see what I would have to do about the registration BS on this end.

But as your a Finn,, from a country that kicked russia's ass twice, are you not in its reserve military and all ready have a selective fire rifle in your closet ready to go, why would you want a copy of the m14 from china, why not get am american one.

And Russia kicked Finn's ass twice as well...perhaps for that reason their army uses the same guns as Russia does (somewhat modified, but the same). However, back to the point, it is possible to get M14 or M305 to Finland and it's not too much paperwork either, BUT nobody would bother to do so as everybody have other things to do except for sending guns to someone overseas. :welcome:
 
You see guys our laws dont seem that bad now, considering what he has to go through remember it could always be worse....

throttle monkey why not just send a reciever over with your family , since it seems thats all he wants anyway. prolly alot easier then having a fully functioning rifle...

A receiver is an excellent idea!
 
The point should be made that CGNTZ rules say no discussion of illegal activities allowed...I hope you guys are talking about legal transactions with full approval through the governments involved.
 
I would also contact Questar about this, and maybe CanAm. both are pretty knowledgeable about import/export stuff.
I'd love to know the prices of Sako TRG parts in Finland myself.

damn you caught me. My goal was to buy an m14, have it registered in my name and illegally send it overseas, while still being in my name.

I'm trying to help a fellow gunnut out. Relax ffs, we are not talking about doing anything illegal.

You may be right that your brother as a Swedish citizen won't have a problem bringing the firearm into Sweden, but can he take legal possession of it here in Canada? Can you transfer the firearm to a foreign national in Canada?


Sale or gift won't make a difference.

I'd like to see this have a happy ending...just not sure how its going to work without Canadian export paperwork and Finnish import paperwork.

Cheers,

Ok one can argue the point that russia or finnlad kicked each others ass twice, but look what it cost the russians in the winter war just for some land, and we will never know how many the russians lost as its a state secret. and second point when ww2 was almsot over, the russians refused to finnish off the fins and reinvade their country, and finnland was and is the only axis country that was not oppicited after ww2
 
Yeah he has his PAL/RPAL.

The sale part might come into play. If someone leaves Canada with their gun(s), what is the normal protocol?

I don't know anything definitive, but I would assume your brother would still have to transfer the firearm to his Swedish permit or according to the CFC it would still be registered to him in Canada.

Bottom line is

1) your brother needs to call the CFC and confirm what he has to do to transfer the firearm to his Swedish permit,

2) Your brother needs to confirm with Swedish authorities that he can do a private sale to someone in Finland, and PL84 needs to confirm he can purchase from someone in Sweden.

Keep us posted, I really want to see how this works.

Good luck

"...in the States you can have open and concealed carry and own a full auto..." Not in every State. In the States that do allow FA, you get to pay a $200US transfer fee, every time a Class 3 firearm or device changes hands.
"...European Union..." Extremely restrictive firearms sales/import/export rules.
