Panzerfaust 60 - Repros/Replicas?

[PoiluRifleman]

Can anyone tell me where in Canada I can buy a fake/repro Panzerfaust 60? Or is it legal to ship them to Canada from the US? Thanks.

Probably easier to order one of the Taiwanese replicas from e-bay. The American State Dept. has been "testy" of late.

Looks like even a real one with an inert warhead would not fall under firearms regs, being far under the minimum muzzle

Keep in mind that inert/replica ordnance isn't mailable, according to Canada Post's rules.

I thought there was a reproduction uniform ordnance compaby in Edmonton called G Max that made these? No need to go south of the border. I think they depended heavily on a very low Canadian dollar value so with the par dollar situation maybe they closed up shop?

Yaa....call 'supply sergeant' at the west Ed mall

or...google 'military tour' for a Canuck Fake German Old Army Junk dealer

But it would fall under the CGD.

what's a CGD?

Controlled Goods Directorate.

I take it that it's because of the size of the black powder charge? Wiki gives a charge size of 54-190g depending on model

They control everything military now. It is an antitank launcher, so they control it.

Thanks guys. Klunk, are the Panzerfausts they sell at Military Tour made by G-Max? If not can you or anyone tell me where I can find G-Max ones because I saw them online years ago and these seemed to be the most accurate.

 

[Klunk]

The GMAX guys can be contacted at 'supply sergeant' at west ed mall

and quit with the controlled goods stuff....sheesh

So a PIAT is controlled even if its nothing more than a 200lb spring pushing a steel rod up a tube?

Oh by the way, I have one, but I couldn't have one in the "People's Demokratik Republik of Kalifornia"

The Controlled goods act was written long before the events of 911. It appears as if it was more towards controlling imports/exports of military goods and technology, but to do so, of course possession had to be controlled in country. The list of items controlled is very broad and somewhat vague. It does not differentiate between 60 year old relics and modern day equipment.

To possess these items one must merely register with the DCG department, and subject your storage areas (ie, your house) to inspections for appropriate security. Apparently there are steps underway now to fine tune the coverage of items so as not to effect collectors and other users. As it is currently written, almost every collector and shooter in the country would have to register.
