Does rifled tubing require an export license? It's not a barrel until the chamber is cut. In the UK rifled tubing doesn't require an export license. The Government wouldn't know about it. Not that there is anyone here who can do 40mm rifled tubing either, but there must be someone in Europe who can. At import into Canada it would be 40mm rifled tubing, I'd be surprised if you needed an import permit.
Considering the fact that an M203 is not considered a firearm and Canada has no destructive devices regulations pertaining to it,what then other than cost is stopping the import of an M203 or a batch of them from another country other than the USA ? I cannot find anything the CFC site, Dept of Public Safety site or Canada Revenue site that would prohibit an individual or store from doing it? Fill me in here guys,non firearm = not an issue a sfar as I know
Clive Law at Imports - Foreign Affairs has said NO to M203 imports. He takes the ITAR view of them and will refuse any import permit for them. Since Europe an dother require a Cdn IIC prior to export you cant legally do it.
He has also warned some against doing it - in rather clear terms.

Doesn't answer the question about rifled tubing though. Rifled tubing isn't a barrel until the chamber is cut.
This turned up when I was looking up the electrochemical process the other night:

These guys don't seem to have a branch in canada, although it seems like there might be some outside of the USA. (exempt from state dept. & BATF export problems)
I wonder how they would feel about exporting a whack of rifled 40mm tubing?
:twisted:

The rifled tubing idea sounds like a winner to me- a lot easier to cut a chamber than a rifled barrel.
However, it IS possible, even plausible to cut your own rifling. Cutting into aluminum would make it even easier.
There's a series of books called "Foxfire" that discusses life in the "old days". One of the books (foxfire two iirc) goes through the history of old time flintlock rifle makers in Tenesse (et al). They have several guys who've actually rifled their own barrels (and customers barrels) and they show you how to do it. Not tough, nor (with an aluminum tube) would I think overly time consuming. Best of all, you can make the rifling equipment yourself for next to nothing.
Kevin, I can lend you my book if you want, although they're pretty cheap and available online- and I bet once you see this, you'll want your own.
Cheers-Garry

40mm launchers as far as i am aware are not illegal under Canadian law. Hell, airport guys have 40mm launchers to fire BirdBombs...but sometimes its just 12ga varient.
