True. I'm slightly surprised that the Noveske brake is not classed as a silencer here. Because it is in effect a miniature, one baffle silencer.
There are several silencer patents existing that closely resemble the Noveske brake.

Ex moderators union, perhaps?
And yes its OT, but its actually nice to have a little friendly banter in here for a change, IMO.
I think you know the answer to that.
However in the US we have the registration of the old XM-177 series FH Compensators. Which I dont think are illegal in Canada?
Kevin they are deemed suppressors here as well

Well the definition of what constitutes a sound suppressor is broader, but it's cancelled out by the fact that you can own them.
The way the law reads sounds like you cant design something to suppress sound, but you can design something that stops lets say flash, and end up supressing it as another side effect, and still be legal. Also in the states every single part of a suppressor is a suppressor by itself but here in canada owning all the components would be legal.

And I'm gonna give Ron a call and see if Smith Enterprise has ever considered .... or would even consider , allowing a canadian company to manufacture under a liscence agreement. I'll let you all know what he says. I would imagine throughout this thread some of you MUST have clicked on smith ent's site and noticed the banner proclaiming victory for patent enfringment of the DC vortex..... the defendant? The U.S. military. so...... when will the hammer fall on the "little fish"? Surely it would have long ago if was going to at all.
In the meantime..... if any of you guys are aware of a legal way to import smith enterpise, 30 cal M1A Direct Connect Vortexes for civillian end user purposes...... I am all ears and will take 50 at least
I tried to ask them to allow us to produce them under a licensing agreement and was told flat out NO and threatened with a law suit if I tried to do it without a license. As I am a very small business, it was not worth the time and effort to even risk a law suit. He "told" me that they have successfully sued a number of companies over this, not sure whether it is true or not. I just have no desire to find out.
He then told me that his sales rep would contact me to discuss export to Canada. I told him not to bother. I will never buy or carry one of their products even if the laws change.
