PFC Model Guns, can you buy them in Canada?
 

PFC (Plug Fire Cartridge)

As the title states.....Can airsoft retailers import them into Canada?

Are these illegal like Cocaine and pot but can still be bought somewhere within Canada?

I have a used but in great shape Hudson sten MK2, anyone know what it's worth on the Canadian market? gun, mag, 1945 dated sling.

Thanks for any contributions to this thread in advance.

yes, airsoft retailers have a replica importation licence, but they cannot sell them to any one other than licenced movie production
as long as you aquired this before some point in 1998-1999 you may have this for yourself and i believe you may give it away, there is no need to licence it, but you cannot trade or sell this replica, or any replica modeled after a gun model designed after 1895

Errrr, how do you explain the guns we get? Magic?
Zartan, contact the Canadian Retailers (button at top of page).
Kid, please inform yourself before informing others.

so you're saying that the canadian retailers can import these blank firing replicas and legally sell them to us?

No, they cannot, Blank guns are non-firing replicas, and therefore, are prohibited.

Airsoft is different, they do shoot projectiles, therefore do not fit the profile of replicas according to the CFC. Airsoft are immitation firearms, which are legal, but still difficult to import, due to a SNAFU by customs, who believe that Airsoft are Replicas.

My mistake, I thought he was referring to one of the older airsoft models, such as the JAC. I apologize.

Blank firing guns are still available, but as said require the proper permits to import, and then to buy from the importer.

Honestly, sometimes I suggest folks get a real gun. It's simpler, and often cheaper.

PALs, here I come! :cheers:

BTW, rumour mill has it that ATTs (license required to bring certain weapons to ranges - restricted and prohibited) are no longer being issued by the CFC. I know some of you are bitching, but this is a golden opportunity for shooters alike. This was the last real bit of evidence against the CFC and it's unnaceptable "I'm da law" type of behaviour. They are REQUIRED by law to issue them, but if it is true that they are plainly refusing them unjustly, creating their own law guides, this may be what we need to overturn nearly all their self-given powers. Grey, you been following up on the man from Niagara Falls taking the federal government to the supreme court?


For now - what you want is a collector's license. This is, for now, the only means of being able to acquire restricted weapons.

The CFOs, which are appointed under the Firearms Act, are no longer issuing Special Authority to Possess permits (SAPs) for 12(x) class prohibited firearms. The policy change, which contradicts federal government promises made prior to the Royal Assent of Bill C-10A, means that anyone with a prohibited firearm can no longer take it to the range.

As such, when it comes time to re-new the license for target shooting purposes, the CFOs can revoke the license on the grounds that it no longer permits target shooters to bring their guns to the range. If you re-register the firearms under the collector status, you surrender your rights to them, and the Federal Government may confiscate them at any time in the future without compensation or permission.

Users affected by this move towards confiscation should not re-register themselves as collectors. If they do, they are giving up their firearms.

A class action lawsuit has been launched to fight this thinly-veiled attempt at confiscation, and individual court challenges have been launched to fight the CFO refusal to issue SAPs.

More information is available on CGN, including guidelines on how to launch your own court challenge or join the class action lawsuit.

The policy change, for the time being, does not affect ATTs. ATTs are not the same as SAPs.

No. No. No. Absolutely not.

Collector status has no rights to ownership of firearms, and the federal government may confiscate them at any time without confiscation or permission. Firearms transferred to the collector status may never be fired again by the owner, and they can never be re-registered to the target shooting status. The CFC will refuse to issue ATTs for them, refuse to issue hunting permits for them or refuse to allow them for use in competitions on the grounds that they are now a collector's item.

Never register your firearms as a collector, and do not transfer any firearms you own to the collector status.

Sorry, well, either way. Shooters are in a deep pile of shit. Thanks however. I was looking forward to acquiring a P226 under a collector's license. No fucking way am I doing that now!

You know what's stupid? All this licensing BS, to stay legal, when I know a source to get a 92F (used, of course), for 500 bucks, through illegitimate ways. But no, I want to stay legal, to protect my freedom, and show that those interested in firearms aren't blood-thirsty monsters or the 'gansta' type.

Buy one and take it to the range.

Liberals die a little bit inside every time you do.

Sounds like a letter to your local MP and the four major newspapers to me firemachine. . .

Hmm, I don't think newspapers would make you compromise your 'source' either.

You think a smaller city is safe? We're a 150K citizens roughly up here in Sudbury. It's all about volume. We're up to 31 gun-murders for T.O. from 4.56 million citizens. That's a percentage of %0.006 murdered people. Now flip that "fact" around to use that percentage on Sudbury. That's barely more then a single gun murder. I can guarantee you there's been a firearm's murder within the last year.

On that note, don't let anyone go calling the states a death trap with all the guns. Again. Use a ratio, although me forewarned, you may not like to see the figures when you realize Canada is about the same, or higher.

If you want an gun, you can get one. Someone I know is in possession of a not-so-legal six shot. Yes, a barrel length under 4 inches. Cause you know. Prohibiting rightful citizens of certain firearms, because some crackpot idea that the BARREL LENGTH may make certain criminals not take a chance robbing a bank with three inches instead of four really makes a difference in REAL LIFE.

Approx. 4.56 million instead on 1 million.

everyone vote concervitive next election they like guns

Thanks KD, edited original post to reflect population.

Hahaha....You guys are awesome! Just when I thought I was the only one that saw how retarted the system is. I love how the liberals wanted to ban handguns...so funny. Because you see, if they are illegal there is no way a criminal would use them. And firemachine...I hear what your saying too about wondering how stupid you must be about trying to do the right thing...when you could just get a gun off the street. I spent quite a bit of money on getting my restricted and non-restricted licence...or should I say trying. I was able to get my Non-restricted no problem but for some reason I was not able to get my restricted. I could have probably saved lots of time, money and frustration by just getting one from people I know. Sorry about going on...just needed to get that off my chest, screaming in my pillow has stopped working...hahaha..

You resurrected an 8 month old thread to say that?

Obviously :P

I may as well chime in about the volume thing,

With a population of 4.56 million and 31 murders, that's 1/147096 get murdered.

Compare that with the rural town of Nipawin Saskatchewan, where I am located.

One was murdered last year, and another murdered this weekend. Not sure on years before, just got here.



So, that's

Rural town of Nipawin,
1/5000 is murdered each year

Toronto
1/147096 is murdered



Now, that's 29 times as bad. Think about that next time someone says small towns are safer.

The media likes to twist things...that's how they sell papers. Can you imagine how bored you'd be if they actually told the story strait?

Fuck the town i live in which used to be considered super safe had like 3 murders in the span of a year. The crime rate shot up and we became worst town/city in canada.

i know. The other day i had some one ask me how living in Halifax was cause they said people told them it was really bad. S:

We have the highest crime rate per capita in the whole country here in Halifax. We should be proud! Something like 267 crimes per 1000 people. Friggin' ridiculous!

Man...that's crazy! and they keep talkin about T.O. Hmmmm....

you guys are all wrong about blank gunns
 

there is no need for a theatrical license or a gun license all you need is a credit card go to camolauge in down town vancouver and you can but one for around 400$

Holy thread necro. Look at dates before posting.

Yep.. What Greylocks said too. LOOOOOL

That old of a necro to add misinformation.... I wouldn't be surprised if you got banned on principal.

That's the store that's like a expensive San Fransisco for folks who really don't get it in case anyone's keeping score.

I read the whole damn thread before i realized it was a necro from 5 FUCKING YEARS ago.

Damn. Nice necro.

But you can legally buy 9mm PAK blank firing guns in Canada. Models by Zoraki are completely legal, as they aren't replicas of any existing real gun. They even fire full auto, and there's no legal issues except regular laws about using them in public, firing in city limits, etc.

Any replica of an actual firearm is considered a replica and is outright illegal to import or transfer without the proper licensing in place.
