Canadian gun laws are silly (AR-15 vs WK-180)

- Explaining the gun laws in Canada and how they apply to certain firearms. There are inconsistencies that are frustrating for the average firearm owner to deal with. There are real issues that should be dealt with and laws that should be changed to protect what little rights and freedoms we have left.
Comparing the Sig M400 with the WK-180 Gen 1
Both are 5.56 semi-automatic magazine fed rifles. One is prohibited and one is non-restricted
I think the AR-15 is one of the most practical firearms ever produced and it is frustrating that people, especially law makers believe it to be more dangerous or a firearm that deserves more restriction.
Gun makers find a way to provide a suitable firearm in a high demand market.
Well the house is now trying to ban all semi-auto centerfire rifles. It's disgusting how far out of line they are.
And they will keep trying until either 1. They succeed or 2. They are voted out and some common sense returns to law making.
We can only hope and pray.
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear I didn't vote them in but they sure guaranteed I'll try and vote them out!
@@nutritionperfection that is exactly what we need, everybody needs to step up and vote this regime out.
well nothing they say or do should be legal or upheld by any one of us Canadian they are litterlly found guilty criminals and violated all our rights when they used the emergency act wrongfully and illegally how are they still in any sort of power
It’s going to happen my friend. trudeau is DONE! scary part is he can do a lot more damage to this once great country between now an 2025!
It's two woman with PTSD. Somehow instead of treating their mental health they are making their problems everyone else problem in Canada too.
Pandering to the ignorant for votes while claiming they’re taking “action” it’s frustrating.
Thank you for watching.
Maybe they need to explore their maid options that they wanted so badly if they can't handle the fact that evil people exist or maybe they should just look in the mirror !
Yep emotions over facts. Either the left or the right, society is starting to only care about feelings and what feels good to them.
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear Canadians are 80% in support of the restrictions and despite what they say, the Conservatives won’t change them back. You’re in for a huge disappointment. Maybe you should take up golf or something?

On side note the gun community in Canada is so awesome with a bunch of top quality people like in no other hobby. I cant even tell you how many time Ive sent $1000s to people on gunpost to buy guns within 30 minutes of talking to them with zero fears of getting ripped off.

@@charleshoward5465 very soviet if me 😂😂😂😂, been following the Canadian issue for some time and let me tell you I watched a video of one of their politicians and one on the side of gun owners saying that he was proud to have left the US and of being a loyalists to the British crown, dude believe me most people in Canada live the monarchy and that system same as people in Australia and new Zealand and well look at their gun laws they all follow on the footsteps of the British, they have what I call a loyalist mentality they just bend over and take it ftom their governments, just, stating facts, God bless America and our forefathers for having the guts to stand up to those British monarchs and for showing us that freedom is worth fighting for 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

Californian here, appears you have 4 evil features allowed that we are restricted to. Those are the A2 flash hider, fore grip, pistol grip, and adjustable stock. I still don’t know what’s the difference between those two are. I sort of built a rifle for each of my kids because I don’t know how much longer we’ll be able to have them. Tools against oppression and tyranny.
Oh boy you Californians are really hammered regarding the restrictions. The restrictions make no sense and serve no purpose other than grandstanding and theatrics for “certain” political parties. I feel your pain and pray for common sense.
Buy them while you can my friend!
Thanks for watching.
Why would you stay in a Woke Fascist Totalitarian Dummycrat liberal state like California ? Gavin Newsom is the worst type of Nazi there is.
Move from California it's lost if you want freedom move othe wise you fucked yourself. Next thing you know, they make you give up your kid's or guns move.
5 features! Thing that goes UP!
Move if you can, at least there is still some freedom states in the United States.
Imagine what they will do to you once they take your guns from you. I left Canada for good when found out that their gun law forbid a legal gun owner to use his own gun to protect his own life and/or his family from an attacker. This is so ridiculous and I realized I came to worse country than the one I escaped from.

Thanks for watching.
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear Where Trudeau is PM, there will be no intelligence or common sense in that Parliament.
@@miroslavm2553I fear you are correct 😢
Our laws do not forbid gun owners from using a gun to protect themselves against threats of lethal force. They forbid gun owners from owning one for the sole purpose of self defense but not from using a firearm owned for other purposes. People can and do get self defense cases dropped all the time. This is because our crown prosecution will drop cases that aren't guaranteed to win as they are afraid of their loss becoming case law. Then they quietly sweep the case under the rug so other Canadian's don't hear about the fact that people do get these cases dropped.
@@Yukimaru0 So really all you did is reinforce how stupid your gun laws are. You shouldn't need any reason past it's for protection hunting is just a byproduct.
We don’t really have any rights in Canada under Turdo.
This government has been chipping away at them for the last eight years.
@@eddielitter3445 you have exactly the same rights as you have always had.
Talking about hogs, I heard that Canada hired people from US to hunt hogs. They were able to bring their ARs and pretty sure they had a chopper.
Hogs may be a real problem here in Canada especially in the prairies in the very near future. The AR platform is a perfect solution.
Not sure how the ARs would be allowed in, sporting competitions cannot get an exemption. I do have friends that have gone to Texas to hunt hogs from choppers though.
Thanks for watching.
They hired a private company from the US to take care of a deer problem using suppressed ARs, night vision, boats, and helicopters on Vancouver Island. But we can’t have anything.
It was dear in British Columbia

It was deer. Canadian hunters would have done it for free.
It's not that you can't own a 5.56 semi-auto, it's that you can't own a good one.

@@jasonthorpe7087 you do realize that in the united states the first serious threat to your freedom and democracy is Trump, and the gun nuts and the NRA are lined up behind him?
we should ban all knifes in canada, since people used that to commit crime
All knives, hammers, baseball bats etc….it makes no sense🤷♂️
And cars
actually most knives are prohibited in Canada especially if you say it is for self defgense all the flick open lock blades punch knives and a bunch more are actually all prohibited weapons in Canada ands they want to make crossbows and compound bows prohibited as well so that leaves pretty much nothing to defend yourself from the government if they want to overstep their bopundries even further an unarmed populace is a docile populice. Ift the liberals and ndp had it their way we would have nothibng anfd Canada would be a socialist country in no time. tyhankfully we justr have our democratic dictatorship to deal with right now. Unless we get rid of the liberal ndp coalition in power right now we may not have a country left by 2025 at least at the rate we are going right now I wouldn't be surprised if the western provinces minus B.C voted to leave confederation and start their own country they have all the resources they need there with all the farms the oil and everything else that is there they would be a pretty wealthy country if they wanted to do something like that and the federeal government couldn't do anything about it since I am pretty sure the farmers thee are more well equipped than the Canadian armed forces since Trudeau gave most of our stocks to Ukrain already apparentlt they have enough stock left to arm the military for a grand total of 3 days if war were to happen right now so Canada is pretty much defencless to any country that wants to invade and take it over the only thing that could stop that is the fact that the U.S is right thereand wouldn't want some socialist or communist country right next door

The “dynamic” duo will do us in.
We need to scrap all legislation back to the 1977 Criminal Law Amendment Act and come-up with common sense laws that don’t arbitrarily prohibit us from owning private property.
@@zebatov I’ve been saying the same thing, our FA is outdated and confusing with all the “except for” and “not wherein”.
I agree strongly with licensing and laws around locking them up and keeping them out of sight, like the old rules (RPAL holder here). But the new laws brought in were purely for political reasons and were not fact based.
Yup I agree 100%. The current government is just pandering to certain groups and spreading fear and misinformation.
You agree, but others don't. Why isn't there the freedom of the individual to be able to keep their property how they see fit. An adult doesn't need someone else telling them how to live their life. I could understand locking them up if you're going to be away from your home on vacation, or with children around, but children can be taught safe firearms handling and to respect those rules. Alot of Canadians have a need to want to be told what to do by their socialist handlers, the brainwashing is profound.
Why do you agree with those laws? How is it safer locked in a safe than in my house? I live alone and keep my other valuables here.
And m14 is illegal :( what’s the difference?!
You know what? I still would prefer to be assaulted from distance with one of those than Ruger .22LR with 110 rounds drum magazine 🤣
By the way, MG42 does not have 5 rounds restriction, since it’s fed with tape
The M-14 is an amazing firearm and has been the go to ranch gun for many a farmer for generations (varmint control).
Where can I find a MG42😁
Oh it's not just the gun laws that don't make any sense here.
You got that right 🤔

The HK G11 was such a public safety threat that it needed to be singled out BY NAME for prohibition.
It wouldn't have ever been on the radar had it not been in a movie.
THAT is the embodiment of how we write gun laws in Canada.
Absolutely, our current government writes “feel good” laws, not designed for purpose just to give certain groups the “feels”😡
Dear Sir as a firearms owner in Canada, I would appreciate it in future videos that you refrain from comparison between restricted and non restricted firearms. Although I agree that the ridiculous criteria that is used in the classification process is illogical. there is a lot of flexibility in what we can own because the incompetence of the policy makers UNTIL well meaning members of the firearms community draw specific attention to a firearms platform. You are doing their job for them by proving the similarities between the two and asking “why this and not this?” So they see this,hear this and surprise it is now on the list. Don’t think it can happen? Black creek labs BCL 102, agressive “in your face” marketing strategy. Not an AR blah ,blah, blah, nonrestricted you can’t stop us. Challenge accepted it’s on the list. Lots of time effort and financial commitment goes it to the R&D to create products we can buy. So ask yourself is it worth jeopardizing the future of a company and its employees for a few likes. Canadian Gun laws are a nonsensical and unfair to law abiding citizens those who know,know. STOP DOING THEIR WORK FOR THEM. This should have been a no brainer.
With all due respect, I use the terms Restricted, non-restricted and prohibited because those are the recognized nomenclature from the Firearms Act. I agree that those terms are outdated and make no sense to the user or law maker however, terms such as long guns etc are colloquialisms and not legally recognized unless describing a firearm within a category.
Firearms do not get reclassified because people identify flaws and inconsistent laws BCL introduced a firearm promising an unrestricted firearm before it was classified by the FRT, all new firearms go through this process.
The Firearms Act needs to be completely re-written and we need to remove non elected “officials” from the classification process.
The WK -180 is an AR-18, and yet unrestricted because it does not share operating properties with the AR-15
Sorry tried to respond but appear to be unable.
Firearms manufactures have to submit specifications that are compared against criteria use for classification prior to commercial release so having the classification arrive a year later seems extremely odd.
@@timfranz9337it happens, just as a firearm designation may change during production or release. Just look at Swiss arms.
My friend and nephew tell me same as you and they are frustrated, as well. At least I understand, now, after watching you video. I agree, they do need correct laws that make sence.
Consistency would be nice 🧐

@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear like you said people who arnt elected officials are making the laws, here in Alberta we have some hope but it’s always 4 years away from everything being undone, just like when Harper was out our freedoms have slowly been taken away.
I often state that to understand Canadian gun laws you have to understand a “Feel Good Law”. A politician needs to be re-elected and they must impress the voters by changing a law, the appearance of doing something, to fix a problem so voters “Feel Good” so they will vote for them again. But the law doesn’t do anything. It makes people feel good but doesn’t do anything. That is how to explain Canadian gun laws to a person who does not understand guns. It does nothing, but it does make people feel good. Your video made me feel good because it explains the frustration we feel as legal gun owners.
Very well said, the law makers have made a ton of feel good legislation over the past 8 years.
It is frustrating to say the least.
It’s about how scary it looks and what limited knowledge the special interest groups buzz word of the day is ! Not the calibire .

Our gun laws are ridiculous. For example, an "original" 1851 Navy Colt cap and ball pistol, isn't even considered a firearm in Canada. However, a "new" replica of the 1851 Navy Colt cap and ball pistol is classed as restricted. They both load, function and shoot the exact same way, the ONLY difference is the year they were made. Wonder what the reaction would be to someone open carrying an original 1851 Colt Navy, on the street?
@@sampsonramm6630 yeah I’m not sure what the logic is in that example, other than date of production.

All of these firearms laws have no base to them, they are a gross over step of civil liberties and contradict themselves heavily. Thankfully there are still a few "tactical" semi auto 5.56's we can own but the markets limited. The keltec PLR16 is alright but has its own shortcomings same with the RDB. Most if not all the AR180B clones are a burning pile of trash and are ridiculously expensive and the few that are decent such as the Crusader templar Gen 2 or the Sterling R18 MK2 are overpriced as hell. The Benelli MR1 is alright but has some reliability issues along with pricing, scarcity and lack of mod options. The Raven Platinum is a good rifle but is rather scarce and the resell price is atrocious for what the rifle is, thankfully the company is taking some steps to make a lower cost version of the rifle at cost of cutting out features. The Macabee SLR and ATRS series of rifles are in a legal gray zone cause of the 2020 bans and are generally hard to find and expensive. The T97 (any gen) is no longer imported and the price of a cheap CCP made bullpup are astronomically high. CZ brens are nice but also pricey and good luck finding a NR Bren under 4000. and that leaves us with the last few guns such as the OG AR180B Rifles, the B&T APC Series, the Bushmaster ACR, the Valmet M76, Famae SG543 and all of these guns have issues, they are all expensive as hell the lowest being 3000 if your lucky, they are generally rare as hell, parts can be difficult to find and some rifles like the Famae and Valmet have Mags that are difficult to find and expensive. Im sure there are some guns i missed like K&M M17S or some other rifles that are unique on Gunpost, but these rifles generally suffer from one or more of the same issues as the other guns; quality, cost, availability, parts availability, modability etc. In short the AR really was the affordable do all for canadian shooters, but we lost that right by letting a drama teacher run the Government.
100% I couldn’t agree more. It is a very sad state we live in.

How much proof does anyone need that legal owners are not the problem?
We all know that the current government does not base its decisions on any statistical evidence. They do not need to show any results, it’s all about the feels and providing the ignorant public with misinformation to grab votes.
My only hope is that there is change before too much more damage is done. ☹️
I here your frustration, and yeah I’m with you, here in Manitoba, we feel you
Time for a change in government, can’t happen fast enough.
Yeah I totally agree, enough is enough
@Jackofalltrades7 enough was enough quite a while ago!!!
Yeah I agree for sure
Americans have too many freedoms.
Canadians have too few.
@@augurseer I would rather have too many 🤷♂️
It's all virtue signaling.
Pandering to the ignorant for votes.
Thanks for watching.
Hopefully when Pierre gets elected he makes this BS bill disappear or overturn everything!!
We can hope for some common sense to end this madness.
Hopefully soon before it’s too late.
Bro I swear: at the beginning of the video I was looking at that AR and wondering- “what kind of wonky Chinese optic does he have; and WHY IS IT MOUNTED ON A WOBBLY HANDGUARD OVER THE GAS TUBE!?!?”.
Then you picked it up and I realized that was a mag 🤦♂️
You’re right it does look like a wonky optic 😅
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear yea such a funny angle that it fit perfect like an optic. Thanks for the video man.
Not gonna lie, kinda funny hearing you spend minutes saying its not a killing machine, then saying its ideal to go threw entire groups of hogs lol
Well in Canada a five round magazine won’t get you far but 30 or more could do some damage. The point I was trying to make is .223 or 5.56 is not the “deadliest” cartridge on the planet and pales compared to a .308 or 30-06 (popular hunting cartridge for large game). In Canada in most provinces you can’t even hunt large game with .223 because it’s too small to ensure an ethical kill.
If I was a Ranch owner with a hog problem I wouldn’t be concerned with an ethical kill.
You are incorrect. In Canada we do not have rights, we have privileges that can be revoked at any time at the whim of the government
In my opinion it's going to get a lot lot worse before it gets any better. Governments aren't too good at recognizing people's rights
Sadly I believe you are correct, chipping away a little at a time until there is nothing left🥲
Statistics don't have to make sens.
Number of votes do...
Yup you got that right, even when you’re supposed to show your statistical evidence you just say you can’t it’s too secret….bunch of 🤡🤡🤡🤡
you can have both cheap guns personal taste will keep one from owning those things no need for law lol
Personal choices I guess.
The guns in your hands are the only reason they haven't gone full steam ahead...
That and they’re worried about other things at the moment.
SHHHHHH dont let them know cause next they'll come after AR180 based guns.
What really gets me is they go on and on about how powerful the .223/5.56 round is, completely neglecting the fact that most hunting cartridges are more powerful, moving faster and are heavier, not even realizing that its considered a varmint round. I'm no expert or anything but the .223 is just a slightly heavier round traveling much faster is it not?
I'm not giving my guns up. Not happening, I went through the courses, I paid the money, I had the background checks, I got both my PAL and Restricted PAL and I'll be damned if I let the left make us criminals for enjoying something that should be a god given right. Not everyone has the advantage of living in a city where cops are 10 minutes away.
I hope to god that we can get Pierre in there and have the CCFR or people like you and me convince them that it is a miscarriage of justice to punish the public for the crimes of the mentally ill.
I'm fine with having to do the courses, I'm fine with the background checks but we need to stop this nonsense that people shouldn't be able to own guns like the AR15 platform, the FN SCAR, ACR, Robinson Arms XCR, or any other black or FDE rifle made in the last 30 years just because you think they could cause damage. Guess what? If I wanted to cause massive damage and hurt a lot of people guns wouldn't be the way I would do it. And for the record I would never ever do anything like that but just so people can get in through there head there are far easier ways to create something that could cause mass destruction and death than an AR with 5 rounds in it. And thats another thing, the whole 5 round limit is total bullshit. I should be allowed to stick as many rounds as I want in my mags.
The only reason these laws are being put in place is so that they can start to make and put in the real laws that are going to fuck over Canadians to benefit the upper-class and Trudeau's family, or so they can fun the proxy war going on in Ukraine so they can try and overthrow and destabilize Russia indirectly all while we suffer gas prices, food prices, home prices and job wages that are simply unsustainable and guess what? There aint a fuckin thing you will be able to do about it, you try to protest they will arrest you and throw you in jail, strip you of your right to vote so that they can keep the people they want it. How you going to stop it? They are the ones with the military, they have the body guards with full auto ARs and submachine guns, they are the ones with the ability to eradicate dissent by any means necessary.
A government disarming its population is an extremely bad sign of what is to come if Trudeau or the Liberals period are allowed to rule over Canadians like they have been. Personally I think we should break ties to the Britain and make our own independence and make damn sure we have a 2nd amendment so we can have the freedoms we deserve and the ability to fight against tyranny. But that's just my opinion. Either way, for god sakes just leave gun owners alone. ARs are used for hunting, I will be using my Cru Arms Temp 556 for hunting, plinking and sport shooting. And of course home defense cause ain't no way someones gonna come into my house and take the stuff I've sacrificed the most important thing in my life for, time!
There are no facts to support current gun control laws.
We can do what we can, educate those around us that will listen.
Thanks for watching and pray for common sense.
When they confiscate AR, can it be lower receiver only?
@@petrvodkin5824 well with the current law that is the “firearm” component so that would make sense. They’re so far away from working out those details hopefully they’ll just be mired in their own red tape forever.
2:19 man said hold on a second and put his dog down 😂
You’re not the first to suggest that, didn’t even realize until edited 🤣.
Actually he got a treat to buy me a few minutes😄
So may be I missed it but what feature or reason do they use to ban one over the other?
One is the AR-15 platform the other is based on the AR-18. That’s it that’s the only reason, politician sees news in US and knee jerks to please the ignorant voter. 🤷♂️
2:06 Better do what he says dog. He's already pissed off.
Haha I wasn’t aware how bad it seemed until I watched the Final Cut. The dog (chewy) is fine lol.
I got a lockhart tactical raven 5.56 and man the fact that gun is non restricted but my DDM4 is going to have to be destroyed (because i wont let the government buy it back from me) unless the rules change
I’ve heard very good things about the Raven. How do you like it?
I mean it’s good that at least we can shoot these in a gravel pit but yeah I’d like to have my Sig M400.
Thanks for watching.
Y’all got better rifles than people in nyc
So far yes🤣. Now you need to get a background check for ammo in NY.
I'm just thankful that we have nicer guns than the gen 1 wk180 now
Would like to get my hands on the Siberian and try it out.
Checking out the Gen 2 soon. Will post impressions.

Its kinda crazy looking at the differences between American and Canadian firearms laws. I find some of the laws in the states silly but they dont come close to what you northerner folks gotta deal with.
You got that right, you almost need to be a lawyer to interpret the application of laws.
Thanks for watching
America has 50 states and each state has its own gun laws and some states have cities with their own gun laws, for instance NY gun laws vs. NYC gun law where nobody can own any guns!
If you happen to live in a not-gun-friendly state like California, Oregon, Washington, Illinois, NY, Massachusetts, New Jersey, etc., you can easily move to a gun-friendly state like Texas, Florida, Alaska (too cold!), TN, ND, SD, MT, SC, NC, etc.
In a nutshell, Canada has got one federal gun law (1995 Firearms Act) vs. America's 50+ state and city gun laws!
Be well.
Silly is the understatement of the year. Proud Albertan.

Oh you can count on that. Things will definitely improve, just hoping it’s not too far gone😢
I remember watching Steven Crowder do a “man in the street” bit years ago, where he had a bunch of rifles on a table under a tent , and asked passers-by what they thought about the various firearms on display… needless to say everyone he questioned had a phobia of black rifles.
I watched the same video, labels like “military grade” and “style” do not help.
A little information would go a long way, categorizing firearms based on their operating characteristics should be a no brainer. 🤔

@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear lol 😆
I just got my rpal, is it a caliber issue as well? I see all semi autos are .22lr, 5.56N, or 7.62x39... no one makes a useable sporting rifle like a 6.5 Creedmore, or even 7.62N. I would love something fun to range, but I can also take out for Deer or Elk. 7.62x39 just has no range. It's fine to kill people but even for a deer, you need at least 1k ft/lbs and it has a deer/elk range of only 120 yards and a 7.62N is about 600yards
And yes here in Saskatchewan, there is a large boar problem... they are almost open season, just not at night
5.56 is pretty much the standard for Modern Sporting rifles, back before ARs were prohibited you could get an AR 10 chambered in .308 but as it was determined to be a variant of the AR 15 it also went prohib. There are a few bull pup designs that are in .308 but they are really pricey.
The AR-18 or Wk-180 is just not a “reliable” firearm yet, pistons break etc. as for the 7.62x39 literally hundreds if not thousands of big game have been taken with the SKS when it was cheap and a viable hunting option, you’re right though ballistics go to shit at the 300 meter mark. I have a Ruger Ranch in 7.62x39 that I did a video on, love that firearm, I took it hunting this year and downed a 10 point buck, didn’t go 50 feet.
Being in the prairies I can understand why you’d want some legs on your cartridge, Browning BAR (.308 or 300 win mag) is a great semi for hunting but it is not a sporting rifle 🥲
5 round capacity is wack af.
Unless you have some AR-15 pistol mags but they top up at 10. It’s not great but that’s where we’re at. 😢
First of all, lower your voice..
Right, turn off all your electronics…..they’re watching us.
Don’t worry this fall the wk180 is going to be gone too :(
Let’s hope not. I fear you may be right though.
Thanks for watching.
Our gun laws are made by people with no understanding about our gun laws or firearms culture in the first place. As a minimum they should have to go through our firearms licensing courses before they are allowed to even speak on the matter!
You’d think they would at least research a bit before they make laws that affect a large part of the population.
@theguywithbeardgunsandgear That would mean they actually have some common sense and a head on there shoulders that they use for thinking not just talking out there ass.
Yeah I know, wishful thinking😅😅😅
You can't have eather in Mexico
One of the many reasons I don’t live there.
If you're limited to 10 rounds, you can't do much better than an SKS. Ask the Vietnamese. If you're limited to 5 rounds, then maybe a shotgun makes more sense. The argument between AR platform vs AK or your Kodiak AR18 is a matter of personal preference. The AR here tends to be the choice of thumb over bore, anime watching, first person shooter gamer types who do mag dumps at 7M and consider "marksmanship" 50% hits on steel. But in all truth, a Lee Enfield does a lot for as old as it is. Regardless, infringement of the right to bear arms is tyranny.
The 10 rounds law is a bit weird how it’s currently applied, the SKS for instance is capped at 5 rounds because it’s Center fire and semi-automatic. At the same time an AR platform may be used with a 10 round pistol magazine or a regular AR mag capped at 5 rounds?????
I do like the AR because of its modular approach and plethora of aftermarket accessories allowing the user to modify for their personal preference.
I agree that a spray and pray is not the best approach and I prefer a precise platform. I own a .303 and absolutely love it (gotta love British firearms).
A patrol type rifle (bolt or lever) seems to be a popular choice for Canadians because of the various nonsensical laws. I have a Ruger Rancher I absolutely love, stay tuned for multiple appreciation videos on that platform.
Thanks for watching.
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear
Yeah, 5 round limit is definitely crazy restrictive. A No. 4 rechambered or rebarreled to 7.62x54R gives it an edge. Rebarreled and converted into an L42 clone makes it a decent sniper type rifle. But the No. 4 even in .303B is a great DMR.
It’s ridiculous to define anything over 5 rounds as high capacity.
Im a bit of a purist when it comes to the Lee Enfield as I only own one and the price has climbed to the point of modifying is not practical also there is an extreme shortage of rounds for the .303.
I have a Ruger Rancher in 7.62x39 that is crazy accurate for what it is and paired with a LVO @ 1-6. It has slowly become my favourite range gun.
There are quite a few great choices out there that won’t break the bank, pistol caliber carbines or Levers are great choices as well.
Thanks again!!’
@@theguywithbeardgunsandgear
I would never bubba an SMLE or No. 4 (or any complete military rifle), but there are plenty of rifles on racks bubba already wrecked in terms of collectibility. Some remilitarize here. Others try to do Griffin & Howe types of sporters usually not very well. But the bubba rack in a gunshop is a always a good place to look for a "project": no, you'll never recoup your money from a project, but you will be able to make quite an effective and quasi-accurate firearm if you do your homework. Ruger M77 Scout is a cheaper way to have a decent "patrol" rifle out of the box. Not as fast as an Enfield but still quite effective. As far as semi-autos are concerned, if you're capped at 5 rounds then a shotgun might be your best bet. Although you all did have VZ58s "non-restricted" for a while and I believe they had 10 round "pistol mags" available. In the end, either you deliver a loss to Trudeau and his authoritarian flock or you'll end up with UK/Irish style gun control. As in having to have a permit to purchase an airsoft weapon which isn't painted in clown colors after waiting three months for approval and going in for an interrogation at the cop shop. Having the right to bear arms means you will have the possibility of defending all your other rights. Without the right to bear arms Trudeau and his crowd of pink triangle fascists will impose their will upon you and make you sing in chains. That's what Biden is trying to do in the US.
@@rmichaelzachary8574sadly I’m about 15 years too late to find an abundance of SMLEs modified or not. Quite a few small firearm shops have closed due to the state of things here additionally those that have half a clue are holding onto every firearm they have so there aren’t too many trades or consignment firearms.
It is a sad state of affairs and we are doing everything we can to keep our traditions and pastimes alive but I fear they are numbered.
I’ve never been disappointed with anything from Ruger but as far as picking up a specific model availability I’d not the greatest for the above mentioned reasons and the lack of imports from the US.
Oh well it is what it is.
Whose fault is it you have these laws?
I would say those that keep voting in the useless government.
Videos like this will render the WK-180 illegal too.
Not likely. Especially with the change of government coming.
By looking at the two, the WK just looks cheaper. I was in the field engineers in the late 80's when the military still used the FAL with the walnut stocks... I loved that rifle and wish I could have one. 35 years ago, and I still know her serial number, 5L4811
I too started in the military back in the 80s. The FN was an amazing firearms I was deeply saddened when we went to the C-7 but I understand the shift. I wish I could have picked up one of those fine Belgian made firearms.
whats best AR alternative
That’s a tricky question because none of the alternatives stack up to the AR-15 IMHO.
I guess if it’s .556, the WK-180 is decent (with some issues). The Raven is good but it’s twice the price. The TAVOR 95 is great but it’s “weird” and costs a lot.
Really for the money you can’t beat the TM-22 for plinking and coolness and of course the cost, but alas it’s a .22.
Hopefully we won’t need an alternative soon 🙏🙏🙏

@@TechJunky777 that guy is an absolute moron!!!
There is your problem you were ok with previous laws. There should be ZERO gun laws Own what you want and keep your mouth shut
I think we can both agree that we never have zero gun laws. There are conditions that should preclude those deemed mentally unfit to own or possess firearms and I’m good with that.
I’d like to see some common sense applied especially regarding sport shooters.
In 1919, the German government, in response to the Treaty of Versailles, ordered the German people to turn over all firearms and ammunition. Anyone found in possession of a weapon would face imprisonment and a fine. The citizens were disarmed to prevent further aggression and to prevent government upheaval during these fractious times.
History is a great teacher, provided you apply the lessons learned.
Nowadays it’s all about “feel good” laws, they have no affect on the “problem” (rising crime) but they give certain people the feel goods 🤔

If only we could, sadly it has been labeled as some kind of military death machine and the people believe that’s what it is.
We are left with similar firearms that lack the “polished” product that is the AR.
