what's the law on building a look-a-like semi-auto machinegun?

[orionlx200]

Hi All,
Just a quick question.Has anyone actually built one of those machine gun look-a-likes? They are built around the Ruger 10/22 and are strictly semi-auto .22 caliber.I read the ad in my Machinist's Workshop magazine.The website is:
www.ccsprints.com

I checked them out and they look real sharp.I suspect our government has some rule to protect us all from making one.Does anyone know for sure? Sorry if this has been talked over lately in the forum.Maybe someone has already bought the plans and made one? Any help or advice would be welcome,Thanks Folks.

If they are build around the 10/22 reciever and are basically a 'dress up kit' then you should be OK as it is still legally a semi auto 10/22. Of course if someone see it, and does not like it and calls the cops you'll have fun getting it back.

And the circle of "anti-firearm" life in Canada would continue...

Build it! It's just dressing up a 10/22. Looks cool. No different than dressing up one to look like an AK47 so go for it!

Keep us posted!

the problem might come with the trigger being fired from a device (probably a rod from the back to the trigger group) rather then a finger.

So long as it's semi, it should still be ok, ne pas?

The CCS conversion is triggered by direct finger application on a trigger, one shot at a time. A CGN has made one of the 1917 versions, and received CFC approval prior to construction. The gun is not beltfed (although that is legally irrelevant); it uses 10/22 magazines.
