I was talking to Ruger on Thursday, the US State Dept will not allow export to Canada because of the threaded barrel & flash-hider. But she told me they are woking on a Canadian "friendly " version without the above! Hopefully soon!!

Is it both the treads and the flash hider or just the flash hider?

[Max Owner]

What is the problem with the falsh hider? Why "they" won't allow it outta the country?

Someone thinks it will make the United States safer.

I wonder if that handy-looking rear sight will be available for sale separately. Or is that an aftermarket part?

Looks like a mini 14 rear sight!
It is both the the flash hider & threads that won't make it past the boarder,but they told me on a 22 rimfire it is acceptable!! Go figure.
I also found out some ruger mk iii pistols are coming with threaded barrels, let's see if they are allowed accross!

How much?

The msrp $995 or damn close to it.

Nice, Now make it in .358 winchester

[Undergiver]

Would be a good rifle for the Canadian Rangers

[Dorian Gray]

If it's not available in Canada for a little while, I'm just gonna get myself a Jungle Carbine and be done with it. I really want a Ruger Gunsite Scout in .308 but i know i'm not going to mount a scope on it so the Jungle Carbine will do the same job for half the price. That's just me though, you may think differently. To each their own....
