I dunno if anyone that uses this forum knows the rules and regs of the Canadian Firearms Act, but i was wondering it the M1A is possible to have brought into Canada? I don't know whether it falls under Restricted or Non-Restricted (who knows maybe the retarded Liberals made it prohibitied).

To the best of my knowledge, a standard M1A would be Canadian Legal, They have a bunch of laws, No Assault Rifles, No Pistols with a barrel under 4.14" (I think that's right)

Let's be on the safeside with going to Canada EH?? Visit http://www.canadianfirearms.com/info.../visitin_e.asp

Since Norinco (chinese) firearms are still available in Canada, one of their M1A clones may be an option? Unless of course you want to stick to an original Springfield.

They don't restrict on the basis of features, just dimensions. They also have a universal mag capacity restriction to 5rd with a few exceptions, such as rimfire (unlimited) and M1 Garand (standard en-bloc 8rd clip).
