Looks like a C1/C1A1 there, wonder if it was taken from the CAF at some point.

u/mechant_papa 1d ago

It's a C2A1. It acted as a squad LMG. There aren't many left.

And that's a Finnish anti-tank rifle from WW2.

Can watch full-on porn that's been up for weeks on youtube just fine, but you have to sign-in just to watch a guy talk about & shoot a anti-material rifle.

Absolutely ridiculous.

interesting bi-pod. It has a more of an L1 rear sight though, could be Ish or Lithgow, CAI brought a ton of these in late '80's

u/Global_Bonus4067 1d ago edited 1d ago

Yeah, the bipod got me. I've been going down a rabbithole trying to find it for the past 15 mins lol

u/DJ_Necrophilia 1d ago

Its a c2

u/Merasmius 1d ago

I think it’s an C2A1 variant which is the LMG variant, which has the integrated bipod and a heavier barrel, I believe Forgotten Weapons might have a video on it?

6

u/ExplodingNinja9 1d ago

I was gonna say, that looks like a C2a1 with the split wood handguard that's normally attached to the bipod removed.

u/CurlyWurly61 1d ago

Good eye. Wow what a rifle!

Man if I had some of these forbidden treasures hidden at home the one thing I would not be doing is selling drugs out of said home

u/Blamb05 1d ago

Don't do something illegal, while you are doing something illegal.

u/son_of_ghandicap 1d ago

Like PawPaw always said

u/GabRB26DETT 1d ago

Honestly, one of the best life advice I've received over the years is "One crime at the time" lol

u/throwaway12-ffs 1d ago

And why is that? I think the last thing is do is attract the best. I def wouldn't be selling drugs.

u/therealbeercules 1d ago

Can you really not tell they are being sarcastic?

u/throwaway12-ffs 1d ago

They're not.. they're edited their comment..

u/Trilobyte83 1d ago

For the same reason you don't speed or have expired tags when you have a pound of blow and a dead hooker in the trunk.

u/Canadian-Footy-Fan 1d ago

Ah, I see you’re a man of culture.

u/Kid-On-Reddit- 1d ago

Is that a integrally Supressed bolt gun?

3

u/Relevant_Diver_3228 1d ago

My dream is to own a integrally suppressed gun of some sort but preferably a bolt gun

3

u/Kid-On-Reddit- 1d ago

My dream is a integrally suppressed 10/22 made to run cci quiet rounds. Actually hollywood quiet

2

u/Abramshunter 23h ago

I tried an MP5SD in Vegas on a trip and it was the most incredible thing. So sad we can't have.

4

u/Global_Theme864 1d ago

Not suppressed and semi auto.

EDIT: Never mind, realized you weren’t talking about the Lahti.

20

u/GabRB26DETT 1d ago

No joke, looks like there's hella fun toys on that table, sucks that it'll probably be destroyed :(

2

u/IcySkyDream 1d ago

Pouring one out for that A1-pattern AR15/M16. :(

22

u/Global_Bonus4067 1d ago

Lahti L-39 20mm anti-tank rifle. Thunderbolt and Lightfoot, that you?

22

u/Eisenbahn-de-order 1d ago

oh ffs why can't this bust be in czech? that anti tank cannon is destined for destruction

17

u/Beautiful_Mine_3831 1d ago

Why no sks?

15

u/Global_Bonus4067 1d ago

Must've lost it in a boating accident. They're very prone to it, I hear.

5

u/RockingTurtle1664 1d ago

Yesh you're just on a boat chilling and suddently, your sks just drop in the bottom of the lake. Really frustrating

7

u/ptv83 1d ago

That's for plebs who don't have anti tank rifles

4

u/RaHarmakis 1d ago

Obviously not a Canadian Citizen or they would have one!!!!

/s

3

u/Dartmouth-Hermit 1d ago

Already has a better battle rifle.

2

u/Relevant_Diver_3228 1d ago

Because there are only 14 in all of canada... right?

12

u/mctrigg 1d ago

Wow what a score. With ammo to boot. I’d assume this was a stolen piece from a collector. Man you’d be pissed

21

u/alphawolf29 1d ago

Youd have to go back more than 75 years to find a tank that that would threaten.

26

u/Dartmouth-Hermit 1d ago

Sure could do a number on an engine block in a soft skinned vehicle though.

6

u/Nob1e613 1d ago

I would imagine it’s still pretty dangerous to the typical armoured vehicles police tactical units use?

3

u/uber_poutine 1d ago

Or an armoured car, like a cash transport. Or a police lav.

12

u/son_of_ghandicap 1d ago

Fair point but I'm fightin' clapped out Nissan Altimas out here in Brampton

3

u/Global_Bonus4067 1d ago

You might need more than the 5 rounds seized in that case

10

u/midity 1d ago

Saw the FN C2 and a triangle handguard M16, and thought good taste..... Then I saw that AR-ish PCC with Amazon laser and red dot.

They didn't deserve the C2 or M16.

Why do criminals have such dogshit taste when they add accessories to guns? Is it because they are stupid, I am going to assume so.

6

u/escv_69420 1d ago

It's 100% a combination of meth and Call of Duty.

There was a time in my life where I was around these people. Every idea on meth seems like the best idea they've ever had, while the drug cooks their fucking brain and actually makes the ideas worse.

8

u/greeenappleee 1d ago

Forget about the guns, thats an insane amount of drugs. Thats what 2 tons of drugs? Thats kinda crazy.

2

u/Strong_Mayhem 1d ago

Says "nearly 1.7 tons" in the article. Whether that's supposed to be US or metric I don't know lol.

Edit: it's in metric. US tons would be 1.8

7

u/scottsuplol 1d ago

Imagine the gangbangers walking around the streets of Toronto with that in their waistband

7

u/Pro7o7ype 1d ago

and shooting it sideways

6

u/Anthrex 1d ago

we should write to our MP's and ask if the Lahti can be sent to a museum or something

u/CalibreMag 1d ago edited 1d ago

The guy with the majority of the gun charges was arrested two months ago and charged with 2x first-degree murder, bomb-making, and firearms charges in connection with the double murder of a couple of Satan's Choice members.

So a guy out on bail, charged with first-degree murder in a gangland double homicide and gun crimes, managed to get his hands on some of the rarest firearms in Canada - which will now be destroyed.

Our gun control regime at work.

u/New_Patience_8938 1d ago

Im surprised there isnt more pistols to be honest.

4

u/Relevant_Cookie_3574 1d ago

Genuinely how did he obtain a m16a1 is it a reproduction?

8

u/son_of_ghandicap 1d ago

well apparently the article says they had almost 2 tons of drugs. So I'm gonna go out on a limb and guess that this person has access to channels that can provide these types of things rather easily lol

3

u/heavydutydan 1d ago

Where the fuck did they get the Lahti? Aren't those super rare? For those who aren't aware, the Lahti is the Finnish 20mm anti tank rifle from WW2. They used it against the Soviets.

u/RadiantCoast6147 1d ago

these guys buy the vietnam era starter pack?

u/H0B013 1d ago

"Officer its medicinal"

u/Markthehare 1d ago

Great for biathelon

u/Gonky69 19h ago

Like genuinely how is my question

2

u/spizzlemeister 16h ago

is that a C2A1?

3

u/Longjumping_Deer3006 1d ago

Either is gonna get destroyed or an officer might snag it.

2

u/truthdoctor bc 23h ago

Is the RCMP open to offers? Hear me out...

1

u/762timoune 20h ago

Why does the only person that have cool shit alway are criminal here? Like you never go to a uncle house and he show you a original vietnam war m16, yet go chill whit a crack seller and he can pull up whit a nambu pistol.

1

u/otronge 10h ago

Do you think they registered those under the new program? Maybe they just haven't had the time to collect them yet.

1

u/Any_Fan_5320 1d ago

The WW2 Lahti is a museum piece as well as the C1. The rest they can crush into bits, all dog shit.

u/Edmonton_outdoorsman 1d ago

Do you see the colt sp1/M16a1? I definitely don't think that's dogshit.
