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 firearms and deactivated former firearms that I have for sale are for sale in CANADA ONLY and ALL LAWS ARE COMPLIED WITH. 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.

	ARNHEM - Three relic shell casings as a set, 20mm British from Arnhem battlefield. Found at the spot where the Reconnaissance Squadron had their Headquarters on the Oranjeweg, northwest of the Airborne Museum Oosterbbeek, Holland. near Hartenstein Hotel years ago (map with location). British Reconnaissance Squadron took two 20mm AA guns into Arnhem ("A Bridge Too Far") One gun was damaged immediately, and thus only one remained in action. These shell casings are from that gun. They appear to have been destroyed by the British, presumably to deny them to the Germans. I suspect they were punctured and then burned. Provenance will be provided to buyer. The 4th shell casing was donated to the Airborne Museum in Arnhem, a few hundred yards from where these were found. I purchased these well over a decade ago. $80

	U.S. M84 sniper scope and mount for the M1D sniper rifle. 1950s-vintage. The M1D was invented in WWII but was not produced until the Korean War and was not used until after the Korean War! Officially obsolete in 1992, some were taken to the Gulf War (Operation Desert Shield and Op. Desert Storm). This scope is Parkerized (originally they were blued) and appears to have been demilitarized and then ebuilt, possibly by SARCO. Optics look great. Mount appears to be original and fits snugly on an M1D. Data plate and turret caps are believed to be replicas. My number CMS 2705. You will find M84 scopes on eBay but remember the cost of shipping, Customs taxes and ITAR complications. As well, there are not nearly enough mounts to go around. The CMP is selling M1D rifles in the USA but these now come with replica scopes. This scope at least appears to be real. My resason for selling: I found a blued original one for my M1D. $1,400
	Rubber eye shield for M84 U.S. sniper scope as used on M1D, and to some extent on M1C and M1903A4. Damaged as rubber is starting to crack (not on edges). Functional and fine for display. $5
	Magazine, No. 4 and No. 5 Lee-Enfield - 5 rounds. Came with an E.A.L. rifle but apeears to be a quality aftermarket conversion of a 10 round magazine. The jey difference with the EAL military 5-round magazine is that this has a protruding bottom platform all aroundm except where cut-away to clear the trigger guard. Very well made. $25
	Ross Rifle Mk. II***. .303" Still in military configuration, with an original bayonet and scabbard. There is a thin crack in the butt from the pistol grip to the rear. Missing sling swivels, otherwise it is complete. Bore is dark and pitted i.e. i.e. in poor condition. This rifle is one of 20,000 that was sold to the US Government in 1917. The "US markings and US added serial number, both under the grip, are faintly visible. The bayonet does NOT have the US markings. Scabbard is dated 1909. Scabbard is marked B / 16LH / 51 which I believe is B Sqaudron, 16th Light Horse, 51st bayonet. Two added brass studs suggest that the soldier might have been native. $2,000
	Telescope, sniper, German World War I for Gewehr 1898. Made by "OIGEE Berlin" "LUXOR 3x 67344" and on the tube "Gew Nr 5935 cc". Permanently attached half-rings have double claws, front and rear, and are in-line. Leather scope caps come with it. Optics are very clear. Reticle is a centre post with point, and a thick horizontal bar on each side. Rear mount is adjustable using a "skate" key. Overall condition is EXCELLENT! $1,400
	Colt M16A2 training rifle. Nicknamed "Rubber Ducky". It was made for the U.S. Army using a real barrel and a mould from a real M16A2. The moulding is so good that one can even read the markings. These were made to be used in parachute training, obstacle courses etc. Identical to the C7 except for the magazine. This is NOT a firearm and no PAL is required. It is NOT a replica and is therefore legal. $300
	Sling - Web, standard WWII. Ends are Olive Drab suggesting that it MAY be made by Stevens-Savage. No markings are visible. $30
	Pattern 1914 British leather sling. In 1914 the British ran short of web slings and authorized the use of leather slings of a previous pattern. Early in WWII they repeated this. This sling is clearly marked "D. MASON & SONS LTD. / WALSALL / 1940" $45

DEACTIVATED FIREARMS AND THE LAW IN CANADA – A deactivated firearm in Canada is NO LONGER A FIREARM AND NO LICENCE IS REQUIRED. The deactivated items listed here are older deactivations. No paperwork form the RCMP exists nor is one 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 converage to allow them to sell off etc. the firearms, 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. Can be very uncooperative I have found and they sometimes make the legal process very difficult. They may even refuse to return any 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 and RCMP and I worked with RCMP history for 8-years and I have great respect for what the RCMP were. Sadly today, the RCMP have a bad reputation regarding legal firearms and their licenced owners, as many of them treat law-abiding citizens like criminals. In High River Alberta, their illegal seizure of over 500 firearms (later returned upon the direct order of then Prime Minister Harper) and their seizure (and reported destruction) of thousands of 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. E.g. Assistant-Commissioner Fordy late in 2015 on a radio talk show said that anyone in Canada could buy ammunition without a licence. That is alarmist and it is blatantly untrue. Having been a policeman for many years, he can be presumed to have known that BASIC fact of the law, so that raises the question of what his motives were. 

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 the Toronto policeman did and try to smuggle guns into Canada. This police officer was smuggling a PROHIBITED 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.

For those who do not know, “concealed carry” and “open carry”  are not allowed in Canada, except for bodyguards for politicians and for a few police. 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.
