Canada parts

Hi Wes,

I'll try to clarify the Canadian situation:

PROHIBITED HANDGUNS: those with barrels 105mm & less ( INCLUDES ALL 4 INCH LUGERS ) have to be DESTROYED or parts salvaged if not registered before 1995

RESTRICTED HANDGUNS: barrels of 106mm & longer...includes 4 3/4 7.65mm LUGERS...are legal to own & can be transfered [img]smile.gif[/img]

The question to/ or not to follow the LAW is a personnal one.....ANYONE convicted of a weapons charge is forbidden to posess firearms for a 5 years period.....

I do follow the LAW ( even if it,s a bad one ) and I am a Certified Weapons Verifier for the Canadian Firearms Center ( registration of firearms by citizens...)

I try to buy salvaged LUGERS ( parts guns ) and do keep track of the serial numbers involved....

Others collectors are buying as much 4 inch LUGERS they can get to sell them ASAP in the US for a fast buck....thus clearing the country of the limited pistols available to Canadian collectors....SADLY enough NO PROHIBITED CLASS 4 INCH LUGER CAN BE IMPORTED IN CANADA, PERIOD!

So, that's the sad situation around here and I hope I've helped to clarify it.....
