Once sold as surplus after testing at least it will fit in your garage Stuart!

Looks like a good item for general issue to the Militia.

At first blush I would say that this is a replica. The legislation addresses replicas twice; once on import and once on transfer. As you already own the replica (and have since 1995), then there are no restrictions other than the prohibition of transferring it to a business with prohibited firearms privileges. Remember, as has been stated in another thread, if the replica is used as a weapon then it will be considered as such by the courts. I.e., don't point it, don't go into a bank or convenience store with it, etc... Replicas used to be defined (by policy) as an item that exactly replicates an existing firearm model in size and colour. In the case of Airsoft-style firearms it is a replica if it fires a projectile at a velocity of under 350 fps. Above this velocity the Airsoft would be a firearm (as it meets the Criminal Code definition) but it would not be deemed a firearm 'for the purposes of registration' as it doesn't meet the 500fps threshold. Confusing isn't it. On the other hand, a deactivated can never be considered a replica because they were 'real' firearms. ![]() Disclaimer to the milveh community at large - The above is not a legal opinion or a statement of Canadian government firearms policy.

The Rubber Rifles are heavier than a C7 and just don't feel right. They don't balance the same. Except when held over the head, running in stupid circles, hoping for a lightning bolt to strike you dead.

Hi (jack) Stuart!
Loved the new car .05 cwt command and liaison! I have found one of the prototype German made Iltis in the Ottawa area. Let me know if one of the Iltis Club might be interested. Its in rough shape but restorable and has German bits which we changed to Canadian when production started here. I have a photo somewhere. I'll see if I can find it. Cheers! Mike ![]() ![]()

As to the photo of the airdropped Iltis above, most of you know my opinion of the Iltis, and I believe the second photo is now the perfect Iltis. Back to the original post on this thread, while I could believe the Liberals would have liked to supply the vehicle shown as a replacement, the conservatives seem to have given the CF some of the best equipment they could acquire suitable to the intended purposes. I don't think we will be going to war with softskinned vehicles again in the foreseeable future. |

Good morning Stuart:
You could purchase some cheap personal flotation devices (preferably red as its a magical bullet proof colour according to certain drug addled thugs in West-Africa) and strap or glue them to your prototype! The FN C1 generation weren't so lucky as to have rubber rifles... we got Ex-1 and 2 rifles (http://www.falfiles.com/forums/showthread.php?p=3272405) as DP (Drill Purpose) for PT and watermanship training. The jump school also used them for Basic Para. Still had to keep the damn things spotless and woe betide the idiot who dropped his rifle!! ![]() Cheers! Mike ![]() ![]()

Hi Stuart:
Here are the photos I promised: first the front end, then the dash with German instruments and finally the tail end with German lights. As Terry noted it definitely came from the Jump School, look at all the extra tiedowns and clevises! Speaking of jumping Ilti- I think your para flattened one is Belgian; made by Bombardier. Cheers!

Just long enough to stow an A frame towbar. They actually should have built them right onto the front bumpers, sort of like the old WW2 jeep optional kit. It would have saved a lot of time on the highways.
