Am I reading right?

Are these really available to anyone with a non restricted license?

 

[fnrob]

Nope. In the case of the FAL, if it's not converted auto 12(3), or full auto 12(2), then it's 12(5) (prohibited under prohibited weapons order #13).

 

[JD Spanner]

There still Prohib just Not CA ( Converted Auto)

They are 12.5 prohibited.

 

[Andurp]

No. It's 12.5 if it isn't 12.2 or 12.3.

Lovely laws we have.

 

[Slowbalt]

Dho, thanks guys sould have known, guess I just got a little too excited....

 

[Tyockell18]

Apparently FN CAL's could be deemed Non Restricted though if designed semi auto from the ground up.... good luck finding one. Ohh China?

Hell, I'd take both .308 and .223.

Anything FN ...

Then how about the FN AR in 308, questar can order them for you, 2000$, non restricted.

The FN AR is an abomination. FAL or nothing I say

I would trade off some great 12-3 & 12-5 guns for an FNC 5.56. I had one years ago and really liked it.

 

[saskcop]

I agree, when we say "FN" we are basically referring to FAL's. Mind you, a FN49 in .30-06 would be a gooder too.

 

[Wrong Way]

I guarantee that if Norinco did a knock off of the C1A1, it would *completely* eclipse the sales of the M305.

It's a crying shame that we can't at least own and use the former rifle's the CF's have used over the years. I've been lucky enough to fondle a friends FN from his collection. If I could, I would have as many of those as I could. But the nanny state, which is alive and well and firmly entrenched in our gov'ts say you and I cannot be trusted. Meanwhile, Canada's 1st family of terrorism ars stll in our country and their darling gem of a son/brother has been moved to an Edmonton jail.

"...Non restricted FAL..." No such thing. Declared evil by name.

There's an Imbel version of the FNC, except it uses a rotary bolt - I asked Tactical Imports about it and they told me it had been turned down as an FNC variant, despite having a completely incompatible bolt - the rifle in question was made in semi only for police forces in Brazil. So I guess nothing even remotely FALish will ever be NR.

Maybe try something like the old Holloway Arms HAC-7? Rare stateside, because they only made around 350 or so before the company went out of business back in the 80's. Definitely isn't an FN variant internally, though I don't have access to the FRT tables myself to see if it's classified as such or not. Here's a pic, and a link to bit of info on it:

If these somehow were good to go, maybe a new version could be our ticket to a "FAL-ish" looking NR rifle.

In the FRT file they list two Halloway Arms rifles as Prohibited, and some were select fire.
They are 7A, 7AL, 7AC & 7ACL
The 7A & 7AL had 508mm barrels
The 7AC & 7ACL had 406mm barrels.
