Reximex RP PCP

The Reximex RP PCP.
This is the stumbling block for any air pistol in Canada. If airguns have a MV under 500 fps, they do not even require a PAL. Anyone over 18 years of age can get one.
Are any of the "serious" target air pistols available in Canada above 500 fps? They don't need to be since 10 meter shooting doesn't require it. Using sub-500 fps air pistols for competitive target shooting in Canada makes more sense than using RPAL air pistols that come with all the restrictions of powder burning handguns but none of the advantages.
I think it's very doubtful that these come to Canada in "RPAL required" condition. No Canadian dealer will wish to order an RPAL air pistol that would appeal to a very small market.
If the manufacturer modified the design so that it is sub-500 fps, the Reximex RP PCP could prove to be very popular with airgunners.

For Canadian market specs (also half of EU) they could make it relatively inexpensive configurations.
- limit the porting, or weaker hammer spring or stronger valve spring, same as the Artemis did with PP series. For US they only included an extra brass port in the box for DIY mod.
or,
- what if they permanently glue/bond the stock together, what that would make from RP?
I never deep dived (studied) how the laws interpret the airgun specs especially the air pistols, but interestingly the Leshiy is still not available in CA.... but that one is not a pistol...if you remove the folding stock becomes unusable. What else is there as a limiting factor?

The issue with the Leshiy is currently it is sold with a built in suppressor.
Don't think a glued stock on the RP would fly... But than again, anything is possible.
Don't think any of the airgun stores would be interested in the added paperwork/bureaucracy/regulations involved with selling restricted firearms.

I agree about a wrong wording from a same dictionary can result a wrong doing. Sorry, I may be wrong, I was born with a different language, I am just looking into wording as that would be a mathematical formula...
Because ppl calling that a suppressor...but if it is an integral part = structural part, that is called a barrel.
Just my thought about "...intend to use..."
-using it with one hand... is called a pistol...
-can be used only with two hands...is not called a pistol anymore but a loophole (rounding error?) allows it as a carbine or rifle...
But again, I agree with you. A manufacturer will not bother making any specific changes for Canadian market...if they could sell here let say 100 pieces with a profit margin to be $2-$3K? I would say they are right to say F##em.
I hope sooner or later the lawmakers will read this, because ... sooner or later this will make a cut on their pocket as well. For now they maybe don't care...but that time is coming...running out with green pigments.

Anything with baffles (whether it is built in or not) will be considerd a moderator-suppressor-prohibited device by the RCMP
Look a the Gamo/Crossman/HW line up in the US and compare them to what's available in Canada...

I don't need baffles,I am just tinkering what could be done to get one
longer barrel - but still shorty - bullpup to my hands without creating a drama.
I like that with my FX Impact, 700 mm barrel but all can fit comfortably in a 30" case. And there are way shorter bullpups have not seen those anywhere other then online pictures.

The process is pretty simple, if you have the time/$/motivation
1) Send and email to (or call) the friendly guys at the RCMP firearms lab
2) Tell them what you want to do/import
3) They'll probably ask for technical drawing of said airgun http://www.edgun.ru/upload/iblock/b9b/b9b604eea51e3515d352d5a59031e8c8.JPG
4) They'll look at it tell you what they "initially" don't like about it (in 2016-2017, they didn't like the baffles, threaded end cap and dimension of the expansion chamber would need to be different, as to not accept readily available baffles)
5) Contact Edgun, to see if they are interested in producing a prototype with said modifications
6) If he's ok, get back to the firearms lab. They'll send you a letter so that you can obtain a import permit from Global Affairs Canada. Along with shipping information to them.
7) Pay Edgun to make prototype, and wait for it to shipped
8) Wait for the the firearms lab to inspect it...
9) If they approve, a FRT will be created... and the rifle can be shipped to you... If not, well, you still need to have it shipped out of the country and find someone to buy it...
A RTI Priest would probably be easier, as they simply need to establish that it was designed from the get-go as a bullpup
