Pointless rant about SOCOM16

[WhoKilledBambi]

Why in the hell this rifle is resctricted? Why why why?

How can a ranch hand or a dominion outlaw can be non res and then that superb and venerable SOCOM16 can be restricted?

Dear RCMP,

 

[Mumbles Marble Mouth]

Sense no make that laws gun.

 

[2stonedbirds]

Ya I'd love to have one but the classification makes it undesirable to me. Lame.

 

[RobertMcC]

Same as back in the day I couldn't install a 18" scout factory M1A Barrel on mine.

 

[6MT]

Sould buy the Scout Squad (18.5") instead.

Wasn't a 18.5" back then.

 

[6MT]

And it's non-restricted!

A suggested substitute.

Since when does the Scout Squad come with an 18.5" barrel?

 

[Kevin M.]

Can't you guys get it? It is clearly an M-16 Assault rifle... and therefore would be used in every massacre around Canada if it wasn't restricted!
How much more obvious can you get than SOCOM-16????


Boom. Next question.


No need to thank me, I'm here all week.

The Scout has a 18" barrel according their website, which is just 12.8 mm shy of the 470 mm requirement for a non-restricted classification.

Makes sense. But where's the shoulder thing that goes up?

Yah it sucks that my SOCOM16 is restricted and it sucks that AR's are too! In the end I'd rather have one than not……JMHO

Canadian gun laws _do_ make a lot of sense...as long as you understand their purpose is to A] create a legal minefield for the Canadian gun community, B] gradually steal our property and C] discourage us from practicing our various [perfectly legitimate] activities and D] discourage new entry to the Gun Culture.

So far they have only succeeded in A and B....

 

[Captain_Cthulhu]

i would love to have a socom 16 and a para sks but, there is no purpose if they are restricted

 

[johNTO]

Perhaps its just me but all my Restricteds serve no purpose other than just being range "toys"...and I'm ok with that. To each their own....

6mt?

 

[6MT]

18" (my mistake)

 

[BenL]

Thanks.

Saved me a couple grand!
