non clear airsoft like tm and ca legal ???

[hecklerjg]

i was wondering about buying a tm g36c from the classifieds when it hit me... are these legal in canada to own i know the half clears like the g and g's are but what about the tokyo marui's and classic army's already here in the classifieds

[Styrak]

Yes. Ignore the fear-mongering some people like to spew.

[Outcast569]

Isnt there a sticky on the grand fathering 1998 thing? Could have sworn there was.

[PoFF]

From my understanding, we can not nor a retailer can sell to the public a "full black" AEG, no grandfathering not similar things involved. "Private" sales, like in the classifieds do not seem to be affected.

so even if you don't have that airsoft licencse, they're legal?!?

[Doombringer]

Yeah, no worries. You just can't import them from outside the county. Once it's in, as long as you don't open a store and sell them, it's ok.

Lololol, Do you honestly find wikipedia to be a credible source of information?

You're 13, you don't know shit. Theres people here that have been involved in this sport before you popped out of your mothers crotch. You do need a liscence to import replica firearms, but there is little to no chance that an individual without any intention to bring them up for Film production can get one.

oh and the canada website states that:
Replica Firearms
Replica firearms (except for replicas of antique firearms) have become prohibited devices under the
Firearms Act. Businesses and individuals can keep any replicas that they owned prior to December 1,
1998, and they do not need a license to possess them. However, there are now restrictions on buying,
selling, manufacturing, importing and exporting replica firearms.

What is a replica firearm?
A "replica firearm" is a device that was designed and intended to look exactly or almost exactly like a real
firearm (except for an antique firearm) but that is not a real firearm. Most replicas cannot discharge
projectiles at all, or only discharge projectiles that cannot cause serious harm. Devices that discharge
projectiles that can cause serious bodily injury are not replicas.
Replica firearms do not include plastic toys and other things that imitate firearms but that are not likely to
be mistaken for a real firearm by someone with a reasonable knowledge of firearms.
Other devices, including some air guns, starter pistols and model guns, are much harder to classify.
Although they may not be firearms for purposes of licensing and registration, they are not necessarily
replicas either. It depends mainly on:
- Whether it was designed or intended to look lik e a real firearm; and- Whether it can fire a projectile that could cause serious injury.
