I spoke to a Canadian importer the other day, and he won't try to bring in the GSG MP38 in .22. His words were "because of QC and their warranty". Sounds like they're not impressed with GSG.

It may not matter, because the .22 calibre version is still sitting with the RCMP. They decide whether it's allowed into Canadaicon or not. I remember the SSD BD38 in 9mm. A nice gun, brought in as restricted, then re-designated as prohibited. Still not a final decision on that as of last Thursday, and some BD38 owners are still going to their shooting clubs with them. For now. If you can't sell them, and the government won't compensate you for them, then the only alternative is to pay $75 to get them "new spec" deactivation - turned into a lump of steel. And since they're a copy and not an original, what do you think that they'd be worth then?

That's the Canadian story at the moment.

Cheers,

Bill
