Canadian Airgun Forum

It shoots excellent mike as said u can get in tactical carbine favour which your laws may be ok with. It's a strange law that a bullpup in canada is illegal if the stock is removable as most airguns work with the stock removed. If I remove the action from the stock it's exactly the same as the rifle version pretty much like the edgun morona vs edgun matador or the kalibrgun cricket vs kalibrgun carbine rifle

The rifle version

I meant the worthless Firearm laws,bullpup laws,illegal, etc garble. The gun itself is interesting. It could have been avoided if said this is Halifax UK. If one joins a Canada airgun site and puts down Halifax, than most will assume its Halifax Nova Scotia, Sorry.

The Slayer was designed from the ground up as a Bullpup.... The RCMP would NOT issue an FRT for it and declared it PROHIBITED....

Are we talking about the American Air Arms Slayer?
From what I've seen/read, the receiver (the registered part in Canada) used in the bullpup Slayer is pretty much the same one used in their "Rifle".

AFAIK the rifle "version" of the Slayer isn't even made yet.... The rifle you pictured, the EVOL Sport Carbine, is a completely different animal, regulated, no balanced valve, different trigger, etc.etc.etc. and for shooting PELLETS... and it came out over a year after the Slayer, which is for shooting BULLETS.... The Slayer doesn't have a "stock" as such, the trigger assembly is mounted to the receiver directly, and all the trigger linkage is internal....

The Slayer SHOULD have not been a problem to get listed as non-restricted, but the RCMP simply said "NO".... According to Tom, there are changes to the law coming that will eliminate all Bullpups in Canada.... There was simply no way the RCMP would even consider the Slayer because of its Bullpup layout.... If you don't believe me, I suggest you contact Tom Costin at American Air Arms....

I do believe you...
I cannot help but wonder what there hiding, to be so darn afraid of a regular guy/gal with a gun... One thing is certain, they are not working in the public's best interest.

and apparently inventing a "wish list" of laws that don't exist (yet) and enforcing them as if they do....

Exactly! As I understand this situation, the Slayer's were ALMOST allowed into Canada, then a 'different' RCMP member took over the 'clearance job' and flat out said "no - new rules".
Check with Ronda and Mike!

Yep, they were involved, Tom told me that.... No amount of asking to see the laws being applied helped, either.... "new rules", indeed....

Since it's a no-go, maybe he should send a FOI request to get the documentation used for the prohibition?
I doubt they'd give it to him, probably refused on the ground of "national security"... but even the refusal could come handy in showing the RCMP lab for what they are...

He has other models of airguns (eg. the EVOL) that I assume he will want to send to Canada.... so business-wise likely better to let it slide.... IMO....

Nothing to stop anyone else doing that, of course.... if you really want to be on the RCMPs Radar.... .... Yeah, I'm paranoid too....
