ALL  CANADIAN LAWS ARE COMPLIED WITH, no matter how stupid they may be. 

Live firearms and live ammunition require the appropriate Possession and Acquisition Licence (PAL). Restricted firearms would require the relevant PAL with RESTRICTED endorsement. The PAL acts as an automatic background check and the police check ALL Canadian legal firearms owners EVERY DAY. Firearms owners must first pass R. C. M. Police tests for safe handling and there are strict rules to follow regarding storage, display, transportation and use.

This page covers firearms, firearms parts, direct accessories such as slings, holsters, carrying pouches, ammunition carriers, cleaning kit, ammunition (live or inert), For other webbing such as belts, canteens, helmets etc. please see my FOR SALE – Equipment page. 

This is a hobby, and being retired and on a pension, I have to sell off some items so that I may buy other items that interest me.

Note that the  deactivated former firearms that I have for sale are for sale in CANADA ONLY. Deactivated full-auto former firearms cannot be imported into the USA due to the very different American laws.

MOST of the hand guns and rifles may be exported to the USA legally,  but there is a cost involved, a month or more wait, and they would need to be import marked by the importer. If you are interested, contact BORDERVIEW FIREARMS LOGISTICS in Lynden, WA. They are an FFL and I have imported and exported through them.

Table 1 – FIREARMS – Live or former firearms that have been deactivated. I am not a dealer. I am just downsizing and focussing my collection. 

	$375 CAD INERT No. 36 M Mk. I hand grenade. 1943 "M" maker marked on body and spoon. Mechnaically fine. Opening filler plug shows there is NO filling inside. Opening base plug shows that there is NO detonator assembly. Red "XXXX" around the body are visible with aboutr 50% of maint remaining.
	$4,950 CAD Very rare all original 1941 Long Branch No.4 Mk. I rifle. s/n 1Lxxx. Matching serial numbers - Body, bolt and fore-end. This one has a 1942 barrel so the body was made in 1941 and the barrel in early 1942 when rifle was assembled. All Long Branch parts. Very rare large C/|\ stamped on top of ring (only one I have ever seen) suggesting strongly that this one remained in Canadian service and was not sent to New Zealand or other Allies as often happened with the Long Branch No. 4 Mk. I rifles. Those rifles are usually very heavily used and rebuilt with later parts. Very rare Long Branch early wasp waist front sight protector, hinged upper band, and Mk. I cocking piece. Long Branch rear sight Mk. I. Long Branch magazine, and wood furniture. Comes with 1941 Canadian sling and extremely rare Canadian issue marked C/|\ No. 4 Mk. I "Cruciform" bayonet made by Singer in the UK. (From LCol Bernie Nehring's Collection, he acquired a few from Downsview, ON, many years ago). I originally purchased this rifle from a older advanced collector, Tony Bousell in Burnaby, B.C., who had it for many years. Very good condition for being 84 years old and having gone through WWII and the Korean War. Obviously used by not abused. One deep scratch on right side above magazine.
	$5,950 CAD Deactivated Inglis BREN GUN Mk. I with all of the earliest features. Cock and click. Magazine deactivated and can be removed. Bareel cannot be removed as this Bren is permanently deactivated. It has early handle under butt and top shoulder strap. Early extending legs bipod. Dovetail on left sidewall for special sight. Dial rear sight. Finding a cock and click deactivated Bren is very difficult now and finding an early with all of the early features is extremely rare!
	$2,500 CAD Winchester Model 1894 circa 1943 production. Canadian Army issue marked. C/|\ marked on left side - fore end, receiver and butt. Marks in wood are faint, but are there. Crack on left side of fore end. Sling and sling swivels added by the army. Issued to Pacific Coast Militia Rangers ( PCMR P.C.M.R. ) in WWII. Standard Winchester .30/30 calibre. Hard to find as only issued in British Columbia and a little bit in the Yukon I believe. At the end of the war they were sold to the Rangers. A Ranger could buy his rifle for $5. Thus many remained in use for the next 70+ years.
	$10,000 CAD No. 4 Mk. I (T) 100% serial numbers matching on rifle, scope bracket, magazine, fore-end, scope, wrist of rifle scope case and transit chest. I have not dismantled the rifle to check for hidden numbers.. RARE HISTORY - This rifle has definitely "been there, done that". The scope bracket is matching and this set is on its THIRD officially issued scope. 26016 > 14606 > 23680 The first two numbers were properly cancelled in normal British Army procedure. In addition to being well used, we know that it was last issued to the 1st Battalion, Royal Welch Fuzileers Rilfe No. 4 Mk. I (T) with correct marking "S", "TR", "S51", inspection marks beside bolt, and "T" with serifs. Singer made rear sight. Scope pads are single staked. Sniper swivel in front of magazine. Scope is a British No. 32 Mk. III OS. 2039A made by AK&S in 1945. serial number 23680. White "B" painted on MAY be that lens was bloomed for better light gathering. Original scope caps OS 12419 A.G. & Co. LTD. Scope case is a British No. 8 Mk. I with rounded corners and leather carrying strap made by B.E. LTD in WWII. Exterior numbered to this tifle. Paper label inside marked to this rifle and scope. Chest No. 15 Mk. I which matches, shows it was issued to "1RWF" (1st Battalion Royal Welch Fuzileers - the spelling has since changed to Royal Welsh Fusiliers). Wrist of butt shows that this is the third scope officially matched to this rifle insicating that it had long service use. Sling is correct U.S. M1907 dated 1918 by HOYT.
	$10,000 CAD - Long Branch No. 4 Mk. I* (T). with MISMATCHED R.E.L. sniper scope of correct model. Rifle appears to have served in the Indian or Pakistani military. The Fore-end is a Stevens-Savage now and has the Ishaopore screw which was typical modification to their rifles. Serial number 71L0369 and R.E.L. scope now is 359-C C No. 32 Mk. I
	$9,000 CAD - No. 4 Mk. I (T) MATCHING sniper rifle complete with a scope case (numbers had been removed) and a No. 15 Mk. I wooden transit chest.
	$1,900 CAD - NAMED Canadian Ranger issued C No. 4 Mk. I* rifle made in 1950 by Canadian Arsenals Limited at Long Branch. s/n 93L9xxx, one of the last No. 4 rifles made. Issue sling is an early green FN sling with brass buckles and two Ranger names and WHITEHORSE YUKON. All original. One gouge on left side above the magazine. Modern pullthrough found in butt. AND ... !!!! I just found an oil soaked cardboard tag the Ranger had slid into the hole for the oil bottle and pull through in the butt It reads: "WHITEHORSE NT RANGER B_____ McC______ NOV 8/92 TO NOV 12/15" This name matches one of the two names on the slling. (It is believed that he has passed away. The name will be revealed to the buyer.) Knowing WHO carried a rifle in service is extrremely rare and here we have it on both a tag and sling. Now thinking that maybe I should keep this one...
	$20,000 CAD L42A1 sniper rifle with COMPLETE kit. Matched set. includes L42A1 transit chest, manuals, chamber cleaning stick, slings (M1907 and L8 synthetic), 1955 dated No. 8 Mk. I scope case (numbers do NOT match this set), cleaning kit, Scout Regiment Telescope in is leather case, rare original "J" bracket for IWS and the very rare lens brush and even more rare plastic bottle for it. MORE PHOTOS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST
	$11,000 CAD - 1931 No. 4 Mk.I (T) ex-Trails rifle converted to No. 4 Mk. I (T) at R.S.A.F. circa 1941-1942. This one served through WWII and was given a Factory Thorough Repair (F.T.R.) after WWII.

DEACTIVATED FIREARMS AND THE LAW IN CANADA – A deactivated firearm in Canada is NO LONGER A FIREARM AND NO LICENCE IS REQUIRED.

http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/bulletins/bus-ent/bulletin-58-eng.htm

The deactivated items listed here are older deactivations. No paperwork from the RCMP exists nor is any paperwork needed. Contrary to the rumour and misunderstandings, it is NOT necessary to reweld them to current guidelines. Here are the RCMP’s own words on this: “The new standards will not affect the status of firearms that have already been deemed to be deactivated unless there is evidence that the firearm has been, or could easily be, reactivated. … The regulations pertaining to the safe storage and transportation of firearms do not apply to firearms that have been deregistered due to deactivation. It remains important, however, to store and transport them safely to deter loss or theft. “

ESTATES & DOWNSIZING:

I am happy to help families find good, LEGAL homes for unwanted firearms and militaria. Note that is you are dealing with firearms in an estate in Canada, the Executor may apply for special legal coverage to allow them to deal with the firearms (e.g. sell them to licenced people), even if they do not personally hold the relevant licences. Search: RCMP firearms Executor estates. Please DO NOT simply hand over firearms and ammunition to the police, even for temporary safe-keeping as these are VERY difficult to get back and are almost always destroyed. The R.C.M.P. members can be very uncooperative I have found and they sometimes lie (I was lied to several times as were others) and sometimes they are obstructionist, making the legal process very difficult. Just ask the people of High River, Alberta who had firearms and ammunition illegally seized by the RCMP after a flood. The police may refuse to return any legal ammunition, even if placed with them in temporary safekeeping. I would be happy to help in any legal manner that I can.

THE RCMP AND FIREARMS:

My late father-in-law was BCPP (1941-1950) and RCMP (1950 – 1970) and he retired as a Staff-Sergeant. I worked with RCMP history for 8-years and I have great respect for what the NWMP/RNWMP/RCMP were. Sadly today, the RCMP have a very bad reputation regarding legal firearms and their licenced owners, as many, but not all, Mounties treat these law-abiding citizens like criminals. 

• In High River Alberta, there was the illegal search and seizure of over 500 firearms (later returned upon the direct order of then Prime Minister Harper) and their seizure (and reported destruction) of over two hundred thousand rounds of ammunition worth a lot of money. This constituted theft and destruction of legally owned private property.
• As well they have disseminated incorrect information regarding the law. In Canada, one needs to have a valid firearms licence in order to obtain firearms, ammunition and now some components such as barrels and magazines. It has been that way for many years.  RCMP Assistant-Commissioner F____  late in 2015 on a radio talk show said that anyone in Canada could buy ammunition without a licence. That is blatantly UNTRUE and is deliberately alarmist.  Having been a policeman for many years, he MUST have known that BASIC fact of the law, so that raises the question of what his motives were. Naturally, he was later promoted. 
• When obtaining a small firearms collection from an old veteran who had placed them for safe-keeping with the RCMP while he found a person who could accept them legally, I found that the RCMP Constable handling this LIED to me several times and was needlessly obstructionst. I finally had to go over his head and speak to his superior. 
• Sadly, the RCMP are still at it in 2018. While Bill C-71, a stupid new gun law that the Liberals reammed down our throats and which only hassles law-abiding gun owners and does NOTHING to restrain criminals, was still being discussed in Parliament and the Senate. The RCMP “jumped the gun” and put on their websites warnings for owners of certain presently legal non-restricted rifles (Swiss Arms and some CZ firearms) to register their firearms BEFORE the end of June 2018 or face confiscation BEFORE THE LAW WAS EVEN PASSED! They were forced to take that down. It does show the anti-gun bias that has developed in the last few decades of the RCMP. 
• 2018-07-11 : Daniel Guay, Senior Firearms Technician, Firearm Technology Unit, Supervisor, RCMP Canadian Firearms Program (CFP) wrote to a collector who was purchasing a deactivated ex-firearm that had RCMP certification as being deactivated in 1975 and told the person that it had to conform to current standards which is incorrect and contradicts the RCMP’s own web site. He of all people knows the rules and this is yet another example of senior RCMP members giving out incorrect information.  http://www.rcmp-grc.gc.ca/cfp-pcaf/bulletins/bus-ent/bulletin-58-eng.htm
• In 2020, the Commissioner of the RCMP put pressure on RCMP investigators to release details on the (all illegally obtained – 3 smuggled and one stolen from an RCMP officer the “suspect” killed) firearms used by a mass murderer in Nova Scotia. She had promised Minister Blair and Prime Minister J. Trudeau that she would get the information as they wanted it to use as they were prepareing new anti-gun legislation. They drafted hasty legislation using the tragedy as an exfuse and prohibited over 1,500 types including some hunting shotguns, empty non-reloadable rocket launchers and even a web site! The Commissioner, Blair and Trudeau have all denied the allegatiosn made by three RCMP personnel. 
• Trudeau is pushing through more draconian anti-gun legislation in 2022 in the wake of a FOREIGN TRAGEDY which had NOTHING to do with Canada. He uses tregedies to push his own political agendas which for the most part only affect law-abiding Canadians, not criminals. It has NOTHING to do with public safety. 

To import a firearm from, or export one to, the USA:

This requires legal procedures. They MUST be imported/exported legally. I highly recommend “Borderview” in Lynden, Washington State. They hold both US FFL and Canadian PAL. They can legally move firearms etc. across the Canadian-American border as long as they meet legal requirements. Deactivated ex-firearms from Canada cannot go to the USA.

Do NOT try to smuggle guns from the U.S.A. into Canada or from Canada into the U.S.A.!

Remember this even though there is a double standard in Canada. Do not be like a Toronto policeman did and try to smuggle guns into Canada. This police officer was smuggling an unlicenced, PROHIBITED short barreled and LOADED revolver (not allowed in Canada), PROHIBITED brass knuckles and knives and had more illegal firearms at home. He received a conditional discharge, three-year probation and 20-days suspension! An ordinary citizen would have been convicted and  jailed for years. [Reference: 2016-03-08 story “​Toronto Cop Caught with Illegal Handgun, Brass Knuckles, Knives at US Border” by Stephen Spencer Davis].

Another police officer was caught (2016?) with an illegally possessed shotgun (he did not have a PAL) and it was stored unsafely as per the law.  He too reportedly received a slap on the wrist. A double standard indeed.

For those who do not know, “concealed carry” is not allowed in Canada, except for bodyguards for politicians such as Prime Minister Trudeau and for a few police detectives or intelligence operatives. “Open carry” is also extremely limited (e.g. Armoured Car Guards) and even prospectors carrying armloads of gear in the wilderness have great difficulty in obtaining a permit to carry handguns for defence against bears, wolves, Wolverines etc. In Canada we are supposed to call 911 … and wait. “When seconds count, the police will be there … in minutes.” (or hours), so please remember ask your assailant to be patient. 

A LITTLE BIT OF INFORMATION ON THE FIREARMS LAWS IN CANADA

• “Background Checks” are done EVERY SINGLE DAY ON EVERY LICENCED FIREARMS OWNER IN CANADA, contrary to the lies put out by the anti-gun crowd.
• EVERY legal firearms owner in Canada is vetted and licenced by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Anyone owning, buying or borrowing ammunition or firearms MUST have a licence (a “PAL”)
• An “assault weapon” is a made up term to confuse and scare the public. The rock that David used to slay Goliath was an “assault weapon, indeed ANYTHING used to assault someone becomes an “assault weapon.”

Canada has very strict laws concerning firearms. These laws are TOTALLY different from the U.S.A. The illegal firearms used by criminals and terrorists, contrary to the lies put out by the Liberal Government, are almost all are smuggled into Canada from the U.S.A.  A small number are stolen from the military, and a few from gun shops and private owners. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police LOST the following firearms between 2020 and September 2024:

• 122 pistols
• 55 shotguns
• 23 rifles (incorrectly called “Patrol Carbines” by police but if I owned one it would be called an “Assault Rifle” by the government.)
• 3 Sub-machine guns
• 2 machine guns (WHY do our police needs machine guns?)

There is no word on how they were lost or if any have been recovered, e.g. at crime scenes.

FIREARMS CATEGORIES IN CANADA:

In Canada it is illegal to own or have possession of any firearm and/or ammunition UNLESS one has one or more licences from the Federal Government (i.e. the R.C.M.P.) Even then one must have the right category of licence and in many cases, one must also have a licence for the particular firearm (e.g. a hand gun) AND have an Authorization to Transport to move said firearm anywhere. The Liberal Party are gradually prohibiting ALL types of firearms in Canada, adding more to the banned list every time they get into power. Canadians do not have firearms rights, unlike our neighbours in the U.S.A.  

1. Prohibited – I am not licenced for any of the many different “Prohibited” categories, so none are here. “Prohibited” categories includes live machine guns, converted-automatics (CA i.e. converted to semi-automatic), small hand guns (including regular Lugers) many types of scary looking rifles, one-handed cross-bows, and now ALL AR-15 type civilian rifles, their uppers, some shotguns, some .22 calibre rifles etc. There are multiple categories of “Prohibited” and it is extremely confusing. Prohibited firearms can be deactivated at which time they become non-firearms and then they can be owned by anyone in Canada. NOTE: Almost all “Replica” firearms are PROHIBITED in Canada, even if made of wood and plastic. However most, but not all, AIRSOFT “guns” are legal because they actually fire something, though at low velocity. Canada has multiple “Prohibited” categories. Most are “Grandfathered” i.e. owner at time of the law’s change may keep, buy, sell, trade within that narrow category. An exception is the dictatorial Trudeau Lieberal Government’s prohibition of about 1,500 firearms and other items on 2020 May 01. These items mare allowed to be retained until 2022 April 30, and then must be deactivated permanently or surrendered for destruction. This includes ALL AR-15 family of firearms and some but not all AR-10 (depends upon the maker!). The government LIES and calls it a “buy-back” but as we did not buy them from the government, it is legal theft, legally called expropriation. They have not budgeted for this and have not released any plan. Why do I call it a dictatorial action? Because it was NOT discussed in Parliament by our elected representatives. It was decided by Order-in-Council, which is the Prime Minister and his Cabinet ONLY. There are veterans who invested their pensions in legal firearms businesses (sporting goods stores, ranges etc.) and are stuck with hundreds of thousands of dollars of inventory that they cannot sell and cannot return to the USA.  The excuse that the Lieberals used to pass this illogical law, which only affects law-abiding voters, is a mass-murder in Nova Scotia. That murderer used smuggled firearms that the RCMP had been told about, but refused to act upon, and an RCMP issued handgun taken from a police officer whom he murdered. NONE of these would have been affected by this new law. Americans will be puzzled by this and other Canadian gun laws. They have NOTHING to do with public safety and are all about disarming the Canadian people bit-by-bit. Remember that Trudeau said “Registrastion will not lead to confiscation.” Well, he lied. 
2. Restricted – PAL with restricted endorsement. Generally hand-guns and scary looking rifles that are not (yet) “prohibited” by the Liberal Government. The Liberal-NDPCoalition Government froze almost all legal handgun transfers so licenced law-abiding Canadians are no longer allowed to buy, sell, trade, inherit or bequest handguns. When a person dieds, the government plans to confiscate and destroy them. Many serious collectors are now stuck with many thousands of dollars of now virtually worthless legally acquired and licenced handguns. 
3. Non-Restricted – Standard PAL required. 
4. Antique – No simple definition. Very old and ammunition not easily available.  No PAL required. The U.S. Pre-1898 rule does NOT apply, nor does “100-years” the normal definition of the word “antique”. 
5. Deactivated – No longer a firearm as the deactivation is PERMANENT.  No PAL required.  NOTE: Older deactivations DO NOT require additional deactivation to meet current guidelines as long as they cannot easily be reactivated. Deactivations in Canada today are usually done by gunsmiths who deregister them through the RCMP. In the past most deactivations were done by military forces and it is only recently that some deactivations come with paperwork. (ref. RCMP web site).

Confusing, isn’t it? Even the police do not understand all of these laws, partly because the laws are written by anti-gun people who have no idea what they are talking about.
