M75 update

No point to it. A replica is prohibited from production or import in Canada. They are not supposed to be bought or sold within Canada either, although there is no registry for them. (This does not apply to liscenced dealers and movie supply companies.)
What Mark needs is a deactivated 50.

You could check with Peter Wilke at Ontario Gun. He still had a dozen or so when I was there back in Feb. But I think he may have had one customer buy most or all of them a month later. Never know, the deal may have fallen through.

... but I believe that Marstar in Van Kleek Hill (an hour east of Ottawa) has some also ...

Marstar will charge middle four figures for a .50 cal. To which most guys are showing them two middle fingers. I doubt they sell very many at that price.

Wilke in Matachewan advertises in Access to Firearms and is probably on canadiangunnutz.com. Poke around and see if you can find him.

A new dewat gun has to meet more stringent RCMP specs these days. What was 'perfectly safe' is now 'pretty dangerous'. If you do get one, have a box of tissues handy when you look closely.

I keep hearing about how the specs for deactivation have changed. I have been deactivating guns since around 1990, and the guidelines are exactly the same. The reporting has changed mind you, and you now need a licensed gunsmith to sign off on any deactivation. For some reason, the honor system, where an individual used to fill out the notice and send it in to the CFC, did not work out so well.

ya thanks Rob,

yes getting this 50 cal is maybe to much work I have the cover so maybe just a tube inside the cover lol.
