Question

it's components, and you don't need a pal to buy components- you might run into a hassel when buying powder, but that's store or provincial policy,or mnr,has nothing to do with c-68, the cfo, or whatever- typically, you cast your own bullets anyway when you're playing this game, amd i've yet to be asked for a pal when buying caps- it's only the powder and i think it b/c its an explosive
 
I have bought many pounds of powder both BP and smokeless as well as hundreds of primers of all sizes and not once have I ever been asked for my PAL, although I am in Sask and Provincial regs set out by the CFO here seem to quite relaxed
 
As far as i know you don't need a pal or need to register a flintlock muzzeloader,it is not necessary for the components either. This only applies to a flintlock as far as i know.
 
While you do not need a PAL to buy the gun, if you are buying from a store, they may and probably will have a policy of requiring a PAL for any gun sale. The rationale would be that it should weed out irresponsible purchasers

Thanks guys! I think I will get a PAL anyway, but I was just curious if it was really needed. I really just want a flintlock to play around with and possibly hunt with one day. But who knows, I may want to get another gun once I start down that road.

From the CFC website:
Selling Antique Firearms
There are no restrictions on selling, buying, bartering or giving away your antique firearms.

The issue is not are there legal restrictions when buying from an individual but that there may be store policies refusing sales if the buyer does not have a PAL. That was definitely the case locally when we still had a gun store in town. For the benefit of the know it all's --- the store went out of business in part because the owners were murdered and in part because decreased sales brought on by C68 ended the viability of a firearms only business.

Never been asked when buying powder or caps
and thats the way it should be.

The antique and prescribed antique status is the last bit of real freedom remaining in the shooting sports in Canada in my opinion ....Its a living FUNCTIONAL example of our heritage and history.

The present laws are good ones in this one precious example.

Bit off topic but in my opinion a P.A.L should be valid for all arms classes basic and restricted.


My 2 cents
