Why buyer beware i dont get this if registry is out why would it matter?
The registry for prohibited firearms, which an RPK most certainly is, hasn't gone anywhere. Un-papered RPK's are extremely illegal, and buying one from a seller doesn't absolve you of guilt. Getting found with an unregistered prohib you're not grandfathered to own will likely get you sent to prison. Ignorance of the law is no excuse for breaking it.
enefgee is very much correct and has a good point - there were piles of AK variants sold they were banned overnight, and the number sold compared the number registered does not nearly add up. This is true with a few other prohibs as well. There's a lot of these things floating around off the books, so one must be careful if they want to stay legal, especially if they're new to shooting and don't understand the laws and the draconian sentencing for breaking them, inadvertently or not.
Of course the laws are BS and I personally don't have much issue with someone having un-papered prohibited firearms as long as they don't hurt anyone with them, but the courts look at these things differently than the average gun nut.

LOL, ok!!!!!!!!!!!
Stellar retort!
And you, friend, need to do a ten second Google search before asking questions you can find answers to on FAQ's located on this very site. No, the RPK is not restricted, it's prohibited. This is not a difficult aspect of Canadian law to get a clear and concise answer to. You're either trolling or dangerously lacking in the critical thinking department.

This thread is scary. To ask that question begs many more questions about how the op has been on gunnutz long enough to have over 400 posts and be that dangerously uneducated on the laws. The prohib list gets posted what? At least weekly. You know enough to recognize an rpk, you should know those are prohib. Part of being a responsible firearms owner is knowing the laws regarding the sport.
I've been into firearms probably longer than some of you have been alive, and I've never seen unregistered AKs for sale at a gun show. EVER. Seen dewats and registered ones, but Farmer Joe with one he had stashed since the 70s? Please.
And Nelson84 is a troll. Called that one months ago.

Yeah, I came to the same conclusion about him at around the same time.
I've seen a shoddily pinned M14 magazine at a gunshow once, but that's it with regards to potential illegalities. Bringing an un-papered prohib to a gunshow is a great way to end up in prison quickly, even if we lived in a world where we're all as ignorant as Nelson84 pretends to be.
I've been offered them in a gun store (to clarify, the owner had no knowledge that the other customer in the store was offering unregistered prohibs to me - and I advised the individual to leave) - are you in BC?, they are ridiculously common here because the main importer was based here. I bet you've never seen a Norc M14 that should be a 12.3 either - not uncommon here. How about the parts to assemble an M2 carbine in a neat little baggy? I've seen all of those in the last 2 years. All of the above are clearly illegal, and I will have nothing to do with them, if someone else does, that's their problem. So yes, that stuff is indeed "out there".
