There must be 100’s of semi autos out there still, designed before 2022, that we can bring in. Just need to submit to the RCMP and pray.

I think that’s sort of what’s happening now.

The pessimist in me is saying the RCMP is getting all these "pipeline" guns FRT's so they can ban the lot as a batch. But that is only because we've been stung multiple times before and trust is gone.

That said, I'm buying one ASAP along with the Masaki credit card be damned!

u/[deleted] May 19 '26

I want to own modern and reliable semi auto rifles that take stanag magazines. Really don’t care what the legal status becomes down the road. These are enjoyable and potentially life saving tools.

A Safe Queen still works when SHTF.

u/mischling2543 May 21 '26

I've said it before and I'll say it again on here, if you can't train with your gun because it's illegal, you're fucked in whatever kind of apocalypse scenario you're envisioning. Zombies or looters aren't going to wait for you to go to the range and get proficient, they're going to roll you over because you're a softer target than your neighbour who trained with his SKS once a month for 5 years.

u/Nilotaus May 24 '26

There are many people who have thought "It can't/won't happen here." who fled into this country with only the cloths on their backs or are dead now because it indeed, happened there.

If you wish to follow their example, be my guest. I won't have anything to do with your decision and don't expect help from me or anyone else.

Also, if you want to get really technical, it already happened here. It's even the basis of what this country was founded on in the first place.

29

u/Arbakos May 19 '26

IDK. Given the current political situation with the confiscation, where the declaration window is closed and basically every province told the feds to fuck off with it, I don't think the government wants to open the can of worms of banning even more things just yet. They've already banned more than they can possibly confiscate. Every new announcement Gary and Nathalie have more egg on their face.

11

u/i-Hermit May 19 '26

Maybe.. but then they seem to trot this stuff out every time they've got egg on their face from something else. Last time it was their use of the emergencies act being declared illegal, right?

6

u/Tall_Insect9784 May 20 '26

The government of Ontario just requested to join the case against the Feds against the orders in council and bans as unconstitutional and illegal. That’s a huge chunk of votes telling Ottawa to fist themselves. Prévost has over played her hand and her outburst was the nail in the coffin of her momentum.

4

u/i-Hermit May 20 '26

Fingers crossed

7

u/rastamasta45 May 19 '26

There’s no logic to that, it’s easier to ban via frt and not let them in the country as opposed to letting people pick up NR guns and have more guns go underground.

The reality is, it’s C21 compliant, case closed

1

u/gamercast1337 May 21 '26

But its eviler and better for them to let these guns in the country, we buy them at expensive costs and then ban them. They dont need to collect them just make kt illegal to own so we are out 2k+ and if we do anything even remotely """illegal""" / put us on their radar, say by opposing their authoritarianism by protesting, they can come after us and hit us hard for owning "super duper illegal weapons of war" and toss us in prison.

Easier to convince a judge to lock up someone for black scary banned guns than for protesting. 

1

u/Hot_Cheesecake_905 May 19 '26

What are the rules that a particular firearm is approved and another is not?

Like why were all PCC banned including the Sterling R9, while these firearms are OK.

Is it just a finger in the wind type of thing with the RCMP?

3

u/IndiscreetTreat May 19 '26

Because they call the other ones variants of previously banned ones. These haven’t been called that yet.

There were a bunch of retailers that had preorders for a limited run from browning but due to high demand, they will be doing a larger release in the fall or into 2027 or something. Just read that yesterday.

u/CryptidWorks CryptidWorks May 20 '26

Can we get a version that doesn't use $320 mags? Like, I dunno, AR10 mags which are cheap and readily available?

1

u/Nilotaus May 31 '26

Where the magazine release latches onto for the DBM mags sits lower compared to AR-10/SR-25 magazines, so it's not quite going to be simple as a drop-in replacement as some machining is definitely going to be involved.

It's within the realm of possibility compared to a citadel ad500 with it's single-stack mags, at least. Though how the follower presents the rounds in the dbm mags could be an issue.

I don't expect such a mag adapter to be coming out anytime soon if someone does decide to have a go at it.

1

u/Puzzleheaded-Tie35 May 20 '26

I'm just waiting for someone to clone the SLB2000. I'm pretty sure the patents are up, and because of how it's designed, swapping the mag well wouldn't be too difficult.

32

u/rastamasta45 May 19 '26

God so man doomers on here “it’s going to get banned” or “it’ll be banned by December”

So what, it’s a quality semi auto 5.56 using STAMAGS and it’s NR m, meaning it’s yours forever. Buy it, love it and keep it, even if there’s an oic, they can’t take it.

8

u/Dill_Pickle_Tears May 20 '26

Fr. Anything that might be ban-safe: “fuck-ugly Turkish garbage”, and any time a quality manufacturer takes a risk or imports: “it’ll be insta-banned, don’t even try” and “waaa Canada sucks”

2

u/HappyCan7250 May 25 '26

That's exactly my thought on it. 

If the past sets any precedent, even if it does get banned, I'll still get to LARP around the house for a decade first. Government moves slower then a snail. Plus, as little faith as I have in Carney and the LPC, I think they know further bans are just not feasible. As I said, I have very little faith in any common sense in the LPC, but I think anyone in the party with half a brain has realized they're now stuck holding a hot potato and just want this issue to go away.

Still no plan whatsoever of how to collect these guns, and that October deadline is coming up pretty fast. I did see Carney announced "hiring 1000 RCMP personnel", although no timeframe or info was provided. He's also been claiming they're doing that for a year now, but it did make me wonder "are these 1000 new personnel going to be solely dedicated to hunting down some of your best citizens?"

Hell, at least if they throw 2.5mil gun owners in jail, we all get to live and eat on the taxpayers dime for once.

I'd be honoured to share a jail cell with you all. It would make for some fun times I think.

Who need a flimsy OIC when you have a majority and can make law.

u/Goliad1990 May 19 '26 edited May 19 '26

If OICs don't get these, the classification review will.

The "made before December 2023" (or whatever the date was) clause, that these rifles depend on, is going to get stripped out. It was only in there as a deception tactic to con the NDP into voting for the bill, it was never intended to stay.

10

u/Reasonable_Hall2346 May 19 '26

They would have to deliver another OIC or legislation that explicitly bans these. With the SCC case pending don’t think we will see an OIC this year. Although they still have not capitalized on the Tumbler Ridge shooting so maybe they will use that for an excuse to drive whatever they want.

9

u/Q-Ball7 In the end, it's taxes all the way down May 19 '26

Although they still have not capitalized on the Tumbler Ridge shooting

They can't- they shut the door on the "evil men shoots helpless women" angle by calling the shooter a woman, and as a result would prefer you forget that.

u/Flat-Dark-Earth Big Bore Specialist May 19 '26

As long as the designs predate Dec 2024 and meet the requirements of NR they could technically be approved.

It won’t stop the government from retroactively banning them after the fact though.

Trying to think what else was submitted for submission around that time.

1

u/i-Hermit May 19 '26

So any "newly designed" semi autos can't receive a FRN?

3

u/Flat-Dark-Earth Big Bore Specialist May 19 '26

If they are new designed semi autos designed for “>5 round mag capacity” then they will be given a FRT entry but as prohibited.

1

u/Acceptable_Visit_115 May 19 '26

They can, it will just be prohibited under C21.

u/Fuck_you_all22 May 19 '26

u/Steelringin May 19 '26

16" version is 8lb2oz unloaded. She thicc!

1

u/HappyCan7250 May 25 '26

Which is what surprises me, because the Carmel uses a pencil profile barrel by the look of it, and a polymer receiver. I was expecting it to weigh in at closer to 6lb, maybe 7 max. Surprisingly heavy for all the weight reduction in it. 

That's why I'm going for the Mk15 instead, not a huge fan of polymer receivers and it doesn't even seem to keep the gun light, and the Mk15 at least uses a government profile barrel, while not ideal, has a lot more mass than that pencil profile at least. Comparing the 2 rifles side by side, at least by images, the Mk15 looks to have a much heavier profile barrel. Better for semi auto.

Hell, I get my 223 bolt gun barrels pretty hot even, I'd get a pencil profile on a semi auto burning hot real fast!

u/Bate_Hoomers May 20 '26

I want galil :(

u/HappyCan7250 May 25 '26

Mk15 sort of has a Galil look going on, in my mind at least. Sort of like a Galil/M4/FAL. Let the Mk15 scratch that itch for now. 

Or go snap up a Valmet for $20k. Last one I saw for sale was $20k!!! Nuts.

u/Flat-Dark-Earth Big Bore Specialist May 19 '26

Apparently they often go on sale stateside for $1000 USD as they aren’t selling well.

u/Office_Responsible May 19 '26

With plenty of AR’s to choose from it’s not hard to see why anything else would struggle. Plus the cost. PSA floods the markets with ARs at half that cost or less.

u/LumberjackCDN Gold'n Loan Outfitters & Pawn May 20 '26

Not just plenty of ARs but cheap, quality brand name ARs to boot.

4

u/Slowisfast_2021 May 21 '26

A lot of talk here about these and the Makasi getting banned by OICs or when the LPC change the firearms classification laws. I don’t think it’s going to be that easy.

How will they address the substantial number of semi automatic rifles in Canada? Another buyback is not going to happen. So the only other alternative is just straightforward confiscation. Grandfathering is another option but Nathalie will not allow it.

The fact that decimated the entire b&t catalog hurts me.

2

u/HappyCan7250 May 25 '26

I'm really curious to see this court case play out. I think it's right after the deadline? Because I want the court to see how badly they stiff any owners who signed up. 

Any non ideological, unbiased court, should cancel these bans immediately. It also came out a bit ago, that the government is even stiffing business owners now too on any parts. 

We don't have a right to private property in Canada (sadly, and stupidly), but I believe we do have the right to be fairly compensated for private property if the government does decide it needs to "expropriate" it.

Let's just hope the court strikes it down, or says "you have to pay EVERYONE market value", and our government realizes they're too broke to do that and at least grandfather's us all.

Weird how they grandfathered guys with full autos, but God forbid Jimmy in northern Saskatchewan gets to keep his dangerous GSG16!

Yeah okay man, tell me more about how the US doesn't respect human rights, while our own government tries to criminalize speech. Hilarious.

u/HappyCan7250 May 25 '26

I personally could care less where the rifle is made. 

For God's sake, we're all running around with SKS that were probably made by political prisoners and imprisoned peasants by the Soviets.

Kinda had to preach about morals when buying guns, when our most popular rifle in the country, is made by the CCP and USSR, who have committed much bigger atrocities.

I like guns, don't really care who makes the model I want.
