Manufacture AEG in Canada?
 

Just something pop out of my head. We know we can't import airsoft guns. How abuot manufacturng? Can I setup a factory and manufacture them here? I know it is crazy. But hey, IT IS FRIDAY.:p

No, for a variety of legal reasons. It's been looked into before.

That, and the insane cost the gun would have, since the market is so damned small.

You dont need to, you can get mags and other internals no problem.
You just need to fabricate metal bodies.

My comment still applies

Allright, I start with building my own AEG.

Manufacturing replica firearms is illegal without the proper licenses.

although.... the point made above.... that you don't need to manufacture the entire gun... just parts... which could then be assembled into a complete gun from various sources does have merit.... I suspect however that it would be cost prohibitive

Why don't you make a V3 armalite? :p Seriously..

Agreed. It really is a money thing.

There is a non restricted rifle called a 180B that comes with a somewhat fragile polymer lower. There are a couple of guys doing limited runs of aluminum lowers on CNC machines for it here in Canada.

Last estimate was $500 EACH.

I've been waiting for these guys to produce something. Looks promising, but if demand grows, price will drop. Then maybe.

Tempting idea, but like everyone else has stated, it really is just the issue of cost.

I don't see how the market is small. Just because we cant bring the receivers IN, doesn't mean if one was to manufacture them here, one could not ship OUT to other countries. That way everybody wins. The guys over the border get another option for metal bodies, and we get reasonably priced parts.

Who wouldn't love that?

I really hope people are taking note of that V3 armalite comment..

Yea yea...Armalites :rolleyes:

i did, start measuring

your market would get so much larger if you built that. It doesn't matter what country you come from V2's suck everywhere

V3 Armalite? Sexy...
