I seen a few youtube videos with Phillipinos shooting firearms and a Calguns mention of a Phillipine gunsmith who installs FA Glock autosears. Are any Calgunners familiar with gun laws and RKBA over there. Just curious.

What do you want to know? -
AFAIK, you have to jump through certain amount of hoops - exams, sign offs from local chief of police or what not, but once you're done you can have a full auto weapon. The law is kind of in flux, because president Estrada signed an order a few years back which allowed civilians to own any non-crew served weapons, which conflicted with pre-existing law...but I guess people are getting while the getting is good.sigpicComment

im in the philippines right now and there are no restrictions as far as i can tell. i shoot full auto m16 all the time in the Armscor Firing Range in Marikina. you just have to get your a gun license and pay the license fee every year. Another thing to remember is that once you have a license for your firearm you can not take it outside your house without either a permit to transport or a permit to carry. Both are pretty easy to get if you have money and ask around.
Another route is by joining a gun club, they are usually sponsored by the military and have special permits call "mission orders" that allow them to carry.
Getting full-auto things is relatively easy in the philippines. I was at the gun show last month in Manila and there were plenty of full-autos for sale. Its actually pretty strange how armed people are here. Im starting to think every house has a firearm in it.Comment

the thing about 3rd world countries is that you can get any permit by bribingComment

There apparently is a lot of politics and "donations" involved. As you pretty much have to be fairly well connected to get a permit. It's basically a rich man's sport. I don't know how it is now, but thats what my father said it was like back when we lived there and he was an avid shooter thanks to some family members that were well connected politically. It's either that or the black market. Things may have changed dramatically as his info is roughly 20 years old.Comment

I was just asking about Fillipino gun laws just yesterday when I was at Soak City. Outcome of that conversation: I have two people that I am going to take shooting!Comment

Last time I was there in 04', the armed guards (not police) at the 7-11 type convenience store had FA M16's. I was blown away at the hardware they carried!Comment

Back several years ago when we where in the Philippines you could rent a street sweeper at the local gun range in the shopping mail! Go figure.sigpic

Pull the seal off and screw the lid back on.
