Oa 93

[toomanymachines]

Do any OA-93 pistols exist or the uppers anyway in our fine country? What would they be worth? or how can I track one down. I have seen them set up with a folding stock and they look great
I understand that we no longer can get export permits but have any come in to Canada in the past?

I believe the Olympics Arms rifles, uppers, etc. are prohibited by name.

only the lower is prohibited by name. the upper is just an upper.

 

[Armedsask]

Are you sure? I figured the whole issue was with the short recoil upper?

 

[sigger69]

I would believe only the registerable receiver is prohib and as for the upper, parts is parts.

I thought that I had seen 9mm oly arms uppers here.. if that is the case you may be able to find a .223 upper

I had an 11.5 inch Olympic Arms upper on my AR. Bought it here in Canada, no issues.

Are we talking about Olympic Arms?? If so, someone should mention this to Mark at Questar then cause he's importing them!

Or are we talking about the Oa93 specifically?

Bingo, the OA-93 is specificly named as a prohib handgun.

Olympic Arms guns and uppers are legal, save and except the single model named.

so would I assume that it would be illegal to have a "93 upper" mounted on to a different lower? It would not be an olympic arms, but I assume that it would be classified as a varient.. but with that same note.... the new pof gas piston uppers will also be a varient of the OA 93... Are they coming into the country yet?

 

[P0WERWAGON]

the upper is just parts. the lower of your gun is an AR, not a OA93. the same as if i buy a Valmet hunter and use a parts kit from a Galil on it. still a Valmet.

Given the recent issue with CX4 Storm magazines....
(see: http://www.canadiangunnutz.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53310)

does it mean that if someone were to manufacture/market 10/30 rd magazines SPECIFICALLY for the OA-XX pistol, maybe even go so far as to even mark them OA-XX, that they could then legally attach a ten round (pistol ) magazine to their AR?

Just exercising the brain a little....

You can not import the OA93, I asked Mark @ Questar about this about a year ago.... the oa-93 is not your typical upper, reclocated buffer tube, blah, blah, blah.

Maybe something changed now but before Mark said he can't import it.

 

[P0WERWAGON]

maybe he just didn't want to fukc with?

 

[toomanymachines]

I understand that the us will not allow the export of anything like the pistol uppers any more you know the sbr thingy.. Now how about the carbine upper and having someone chop the barrel down! that should be the same thing with out as much restriction..

 

[toomanymachines]

I also understand that the us has only just in the last couple of years changed the laws to restrict the export of the short uppers.. someone must have brought some uppers in before the changes..

Nah, Mark from questar has good relations with oly arms. He did bring in the ar's that take the glock mags so i think it's some b.s. technicallity/legality thing in regards to the oa-93.

I myself wanted this only:

but.... don't know the status of that yet. However I am sure that as a "complete unit/gun/pistol/etc" the OA-93 can not be imported.

OA-93 receivers are prohibited. If the uppers where they would be listed in accessories. Nothing to worry about.
