Does this mean what I think it does? New FRT for the FGC9, a 3d printed 9mm PCC.

If what you think is "I can print one", it probably does not mean what you think it does.

First-off C-21 made the files for the fgc9 prohibited by themselves. Second, the (new) position of the RCMP is that a PAL does not allow you to manufacture a firearm, not even for personal use.

So if you have a business firearm licence that allow you to manufacture restricted firearm, you could print a fgc9, but in any other case, you cannot! And just having or accessing the file required to print one would be a criminal offence.

I distinctly remember ten years ago reading that it was legal to make a firearm for personal use. I don’t believe a law came into effect forbidding this, so why is it now illegal?

RCMP said they changed their minds and no you can't manufacture your own firearms.

What if you manufactured one before they changed their mind?

If it's registered as a restricted, then it's legal (and restricted)

If not, then it's illegal.

I think the new law now prohibits possession of any unlawfully manufactured firearm. So while the firearm itself may be restricted or non-restricted, possession of it is a separate offense. I don't see anything in the wording that specifically grandfathers old homemades.
