$1600USD saw them last weekend. If the store is willing to work with you and do all the paper work and export permits you might be able to bring it in. Don't know if it is on the s....t list for export out of the US. It would be a big disappointment if it is.

I tried to bring a bolt rifle in......state-side, everything was approved. But then:

Bad news on the Barrett 99-416.

I received an e-mail from my contact at the Firearms Reference Table Section, Firearms Support Services Branch, Royal Canadian Mounted Police. They have reviewed our application for a classification on the Barrett 99-416 and determined that there is a

“design linkage to the Barrett, Model 90 which the makes the Model 99 a "variant or modified version" - therefore a "PROHIBITED Firearm".”

This kind of screws our efforts to import these for civilian end users.

For fork-sake, its a bolt rifle - WTF? Unbelievable!

The cops should concentrate on their dognuts and we should do something about the POLICE STATE we live in. Are we not free citizens in this country anymore?

:kickInTheNuts: To the people that control us!

You're proud of owning a gun that you never shoot? :confused: It's a tool, not a comic book or a baseball card for crying out loud! Now get out there and shoot it and write us a range report! ;)

Actually I have alot of items that I never shoot. It is not that important for me to fire some if these items. I know that I have some one offs in the country. I have three safes full of items. some get used and some don't/ Yes I know that I am materialistic. but I am O.K. with that.
 
Off topic and maybe a easy question but im a newbie and dont know the answer....

What would happen if lets say a rifle like the CZ858 or the AR180B-2 one day was decided by the government that they looked too scary to be a non-restricted firearm and they were going to prohibit it?

Would the people who currently own it before the classification change still be able to own it with only a non-restricted licence?

Unless you've got a crystal ball there's no way to possibly have enough info to answer that question. Or in other words, "who the #### knows".

So your saying since the beginning of time there has not been a single gun that has suddenly changed classifications and jumped over to prohibited?

I may be wrong, but if I recall correctly I read somewhere today someone saying the AR15 at one point was non-restricted. If that was the case, what happined to all those owners after the change? If you already own it and registered it is there anyway they could actually not let you have it anymore?

Suddenly? No, not that I can think of outside of legislation. The AR was made restricted by federal law as have many other firearms when legislation was introduced. They don't just magically change one day without legal basis. They may change upon "re-evaluation" of production guns like Marstar's FSN-01's, but that determination was under the auspices of the Firearms Act.

There's no mechanism in the Firearms Act for adding new firearms to prohibited lists.

The Walther G22 was determined to have a bullpup stock after it was sold as a non-res. I don't know how that finally sorted out, but the stock issue is also in the Firearms Act.

I don't know where the f**k you think you live, but the gov't seizes stuff from citizens every day of the year without compensation. Don't think for a moment that there's any guarantee you'd be grandfathered if a new Bill/OIC was passed with more prohibitions.

Easy Stevo, why such anger in your text... he's not the one prohibiting firearms and retricting our rights. He's just new and looking for some answers.

Damn, you make a good point!
Didn't even consider the restriction, wonder how much those magazines cost too..
Would think cheap from the plastic, but it is FN

It isn't a 10K gun. Long story short, only a few were imported before the US clamped down on their export. Many firearms of a "military" nature without a clearly identified "sporting" purpose have been placed on a prohibited for export list with the US State Dept. Due to the former Liberal Gov't. indifference, Canada did not request to be exempted from ITAR restrictions, thus why many of the "cool" guns and gear are now unobtanium for civilians in Canada. Stupid, but there you go. The few PS-90s in civilian hands have thus had their value vastly over inflated due to the law of supply and demand.

Probably all part of the master plan.
