pic of the SVD Dragunov ill never get to shoot

I would call myself a "gun nut" .... BUT the first thing that comes to my mind when you say "Czech Republic" , is all of the absolutely BEAUTIFUL women that infest that country lol
 
I can't get it either. Why SVD is prohibited - it's long, not especially accurate, semi-auto. Got a 10 rounds magazine, but it can be pinned. Some bureaucrat didn't like the name and that's it - none of us can have it.

Actually the real reason is that in some movies mean looking bad guys used it against good guys, hence prohib.

It was the unfortunate result of a mistranslation of the rifle's name by the RCMP. They translated it as 'of Dragons', as in, to be used by dragons to oppress mankind. This was influenced by the oversize trigger guard that was assumed to be designed to accomodate dragon talons. Had the authorities consulted the proper experts, they would have clearly seen that the length of pull, eye relief, and scope height are out of all proportion to dragon anatomy.
The correct translation is, of course, Dragon-Off, as in to be used in the deterence of, and defence against dragons and dragon attack. The oversize trigger guard is designed to accomodate winter gloves, as used by people in remote northern areas most susceptible to dragon attack due to lack of formal air defence.

I think the RCMP has realized their error in this regard, but instead of lose face by reversing themselves, they are proceeding to allow more semiautomatic .50 rifles to come into the country non-restricted. these guns are quite cost prohibitive for individuals. I only hope that small communities will be able to pool their resources and purchase a few, so that canadians are no longer easy pickings for rogue dragons.

This was the funniest post I've read in weeks! Thanks.
 
ATT's could actually never legally be issued for prohibited firearms except prohibited handguns 12(6). The CFO's did it for a time but they actually couldn't. Eventually they began issuing the "Special Authority To Process" permit, which still exists but the CFO"s refuse to issue it, and rightly so, saying that they cannot issue an ATT to take these classes firearms to the range.

The SAP still exists in law, it is available but with the possible upcoming change in government I think I'll have bigger fish to fry.

I recently replaced the front blade bayonet with a Chinese spike type so it sits nice and flat in the forearm, which makes it more comfortable.
