DESPORTERIZER;
An individual cannot import deacts....
The CFC says that deacts must first be imported as "live" MGs by a firm with the correct license.... Then the importer must certify them as being deacts and have them deregistered....

bottom line is 99.9% of US here on CGN CANNOT buy a very large portion of marstars inventory

I'd settle for a constitutional amendment allowing me to coat myself in a thin layer of Hoppes #9 and roll around in that large portion of inventory for an hour.

Oh, sorry..... did I type that? :redface:

As you may know, all places of business tend to bend the rules now and again.

I simply figured that an employee could send one out west here and then have it deactivated by a smith. (disregarding the fact that it still has moveable FA parts).

Is it illegal for me to own a welded up #### and click reciever?

How about a full auto changed to semi auto?



I don't want to get stuck with a 1919 or a '34.

So Johnson, you have only 3 choices:

(1) Get a semi 1919 or a '34.

(2) Get a Dewat.

(3) Make that paper AK47 on YouTube!!!

Of interest though, on some of the other forums (in the U.S.), occasionally you do get a BATF Troll (Gov't) wanting to Buy or Sell an Illegal Weapon (Class 3) Machine Gun.

In fact, one of the forums moderators in the U.S. was approached on the PM system and email to buy an MP44 Full Auto for a ridiculously low price. They tried to set him up, but it didn't work.

I've seen it about 3 or 4 times where you just get a stupid guy posting with a strange request and the users ID traces back to Washington.

They are baiting an unsuspecting individual. Just Beware!

How do you figure that having one of these guns is "getting stuck"? I've had one of the M1919A4s in semi auto for about 4 years, and it is one of my favorite guns. It certainly is the gun I put the most rounds through, and about as much fun as you can have in Canada and still have your pants on. I am somewhat biased towards the weapons of the winning team, but I quite frankly couldn't ask for a more historic gun (unless it was a semi auto Bren).
 
So, can a company licensed to import FA's import a dewat FA and have it certified deactivated once in Canada? I assume though, becasue of CBSA's policy of having to import it as if it were live, that it would fall under the same classification as Marstar's non-grandfathered FA's?
 
MTALLMAN:
YES, but remember there is no prescribed purpose under the licensing for making dewats....
It has to be dewated at point of origin and so confirmed by the exporting country authority....

"So, that leaves me with a question to Johnone: Just exactly how economically unfeasable is this SA MG 42 that you came up with?"

Let me say this, if you have an extra seven figure bank account lying about doing nothing we can sit down and talk....

We own the design, we own the guns....

We have a producer ready to make the new receivers and manufcature the new guns....

And yes, they would be approvable in the US by the BATF.

Well, my bank account sometimes is in the seven figures... but that includes the numbers after the decimal, and sometimes it's in the negative amounts:redface:

Thanks for your explanation.


On a different note then - if MG 42's are a bugger to get, how hard would it be to get all the parts minus the prohib parts (reciever and FA trigger group?), and then make a mock up solid reciever? After all, that's what you get when you deactivate one. Milling or grinding the outside of the reciever is something I could see as feasible at least. Heck, what about some sheet metal?
 
I don' want to speak for John, but I somehow doubt he would sell you the requisite parts unless you could demonstrate already owning a legal MG42.

You would be making a replica, which would be prohibited in Canada.

Replicas used to be cheap and plentiful, but stupid people did stupid things with them and got themselves shot. The Cdn Police Chief's wanted them prohibited, and eventually got their wish. Deactivated guns don't count as prohibs, but after a few more rounds of gun control happen, no doubt they will get blamed and banned for the failure of gun control measures.
