Canadian Airgun Forum

(BTW - he said the TWO companies requesting a classification on this rifle were CSS and Oshoot)

He also advised me that the rating was issued less than 24 hours after he spoke with them, and he advised that they do not make decisions that fast.

Therefore it leaves on one person that requested the PAL classification.

I'm skeptical of that.

I mean businesses want to make money, and getting an unregulated gun PAL rated, would be limiting the possible customer base for the product, and therefore limiting profits from said product. It'd be extremely bad for business.

I am happy to see that the classification is being looked over again, because from my understanding it has to meet both specifications not only one of them. However, I am obviously from things I already stated, not going to get all worked up about a co2 air gun I'd never buy anyways (at least for myself).

I have it from a very reliable source that it was Oshoot, that requested the PAL classification alone, in order to speed up the approval process, so he could be the 1st person to sell this airgun in Canada. A non-PAL classification would take a few weeks, as the RCMP needs to go thru their checks, etc. whereas a PAL rating would not take any time for an airgun like this. I heard that if the approval was delayed by a couple of weeks, all the other dealers would have stock, and Oshoot would not be able to sell a lot them, as they are about 20-30% more expensive than many of the other dealers.
Also, just look who is the only person currently selling it in Canada and available to take advantage of being 1st, i.e. Oshoot. CSS, still has it on back order.

:shock: Glad I don't shoot BB guns. Seems like a hassle.

Has nothing really to do with just being a BB gun. It's the principal. Its like them re classifying all sub 500 22's cal as PAL rated because they shoot more then 4.2 FPE. A gun didn't break the 4.2 FPE, but got classified as a NR. Because it was "over" 500 FPS.

Very true, we do want to keep the CFP accountable and accurate.

I was robbed $30 when the RCMP said the Ruger 10/22 couldn't have a magazine that held more than ten rounds, and I had to throw mine out.

I ended up selling my 10/22 and buying a Remington 597 in the archangel black tactical stock, because I wanted no mag limits with it being a .22 and the 597 doesn't have any.

We don't want the RCMP to just randomly decide things, but rather we want to have them follow the law exactly and completely.

In this case meaning it has to meet all specifications, not just 1 of them.

Be nice guy pleases ...I want this to stop now ..... my delete finger is get sore and if i delete this thread Doug will nag me till the end of time
