Thoughts/comments on this one...WHY ?? Type 56-1 vs type 81

[Nightstalker]

Folks, I would like to get some thoughts/comments regarding this, because after analyzing all the info I'm stumped and there's no logical answer so go ahead and enlighten me to WHY ???

Why is this (Type 56-1) classified as Prohibited under the mid 90's law

Why is this (Type 81) classified as non-restricted

By name wasn't it?

Prohibited by name. The Type 56 is a variant of the ak47. The Type 81 a descendant of the SKS.

 

[mikethebike]

one is an AK
The other is not an AK

Although they look the sameish the innards are completely different.

why are you confused?

The Type 81 a descendant of the SKS.

You think so? I dont see any sks in it...

I guess I should've said a SKS/AK design hybrid.

They can name anything as prohibited. Just look at the example of the Mossberg Blaze 47.

On account of my having the first one locked up in my safe for the past 20 years and not being able to shoot it while watching other people shooting the new one out there."Frustrating" is a word I find would be inadequate to be applied.
If the whole purpose of some bureaucrat sitting in Ottawa in the old days was to look at what looks scary and prohib it hence I posted the pics.

Even more perplexing is SG540 being NR and SG550 prohibited. Two rifles are nearly identical.

Short stroke piston.

Different parts etc.


There you have it folk.

Never mind that what about a prohibited AK and a non restricted Valmet

AK is evil. Anyone who touches it goes crazy and starts shooting everyone and especially children.

Valmet is not evil. It helps indigenous people to survive in harsh, desolate Canada, where food is scarce.

There is no logical answer to this question, prohib by name I guess, not by reason thats for sure

Don't feel sorry for me, I am loving my Type 81, one amazing example of a Sino-Soviet weapon!!!! I can't believe I actually have it, feel bad about nightstalker who can't shoot his ak.
