The Mannlicher-Schoenauer Model 03/14 I had back in the '50s and '60s remains my favorite military surplus rifle. "As issued" it was accurate, with an acceptable trigger. I only had 40 cartridges for it, and re-loaded them way too many times. I wish I had one today, but the going price is well beyond my limits.

Actually, my CURRENT dream rifles (ie, a rifle I can actually hope to get within a year or so as opposed to a pipe dream rifle) are:
1) Finn M28/30
2) Finn M39 Sako straight stock, 1941.
3) Tikka M91/30
Sadly, these are FAR from common rifles in Canada - much easier to locate stateside.

I own my dream milsurp(s), they just won't let me shoot them.
Wouldn't mind a CA MG-42 though.

Well No.2 on my list might come to fruition within the next month... stay tuned
I also wouldn't mind and affordable PTRS in 14.5mm... though I don't know where I'd be able to shoot it.

There's no reason one of those semi Brens shouldn't be legal here. Keep in mind it's basically an all new reciever built to satisfy BATF regs. It's not a Bren, per se, it just looks like one and uses many Bren parts.
$3k US would end up being $5k Can. by the time you imported one and figure in the exchange. Plus, someone has to be the one to send theirs to the RCMP for approval.

One would think a dealer would step up to the plate
Also, a verifyer should call the CFC and see if it isn't already in the FRT. Someone not on the forums could already have spared you the pain

$3000usd times 1.16= $3480 plus shipping. Our dollar's a whole lot better than it was when we had to pay 1.6395 for one USD.
If the receiver's brand new, not a reweld it would probably be importable...

Plus importation and brokerage fees, and the shipping would be considerable. I'd consider $4500 to be a minimum expected cost.
