Can I purchase a surplus tank or other armoured vehicle?
A. Warlike materiel such as tanks and armoured personnel carriers are not sold to the private sector in an operable state. They are first offered for sale as operational assets to other governments, law enforcement agencies and the like. Any remaining assets may then be demilitarized and then provided as display pieces to non-profit organizations such as Royal Canadian Legions, other veterans associations, museums, municipalities and other non-profit organizations.
