Sulun SPAS-12 – SPAS repro availability for import

Yes, it is aesthetically similar but it isn't a variant. It shares no parts and operates completely differently, not a clone. The SKS looks similar to an AK pattern rifle but is still legal still to own and purchase.

Derya MK-12 shotguns were recently prohibited as AR15 variants.
If thats not enough to convince you that A) this would undoubtably be deemed a prohibited SPAS variant and B) your understanding of the term variant is clearly not the RCMP's benchmark, then I wish you luck in managing your expectations.

The type 81 disagrees with this assessment.

Yeah but the SKS is not a « scary black gun » and is on a class of its own.

They prohibited the GSG16 22 lr blow back as a variant of the roller delayed mp5 9mm.

Did the same with the GSG STG 44 also in 22 lr. No compatibility with any real STG 44 parts at all.

It is, but this doesn't share any parts with a SPAS and operates completely differently with a different action and everything. Its typical Turkish reproduction as far as I know. So a completely new firearm that would meet our import guidelines and restrictions

Dude our government wouldnt let the GSG-5 airsoft mp5 turned into a 22lr because it was an MP5 "variant" lol. Dont even get me started on the rest of the entire GSG 22lr line

We are no longer allowed to have anything that looks cool.

Jinx!!

It might be worthwhile as a parts kit if the receiver is not importable

I'd love a parts kit to add to my ithaca

They literally banned a 22 that LOOKED like an MP-5 yet didn't function at all. They banned it as a variant simply because the gun was advertised as an MP-5 in 22LR. It was the GSG 522.
