New Semi-Auto Shotgun

[CanAm]

I do not believe a single part will swap, but I have yet to confirm. It is very different.

They basically took their sporting shotgun and added the ar-type look-alike parts.

There exists no formal appeal process at Specialized Firearms Support Services (SFSS), FIESD, RCMP Canadian Firearms Program for legal class determinations made by SFSS. However Specialized Firearms Support Services is always open to logical and rational debate about such decisions.

Contact the CPC and suggest they make a process in the upcoming bill. (Thanks for the reminder! Scoring their own goal)
"Always open to logical and rational debate" suggests they possess logic and reason and nobody else does. It's about as condescending a statement as can be found.

Anybody think the 'lords' are open to discussion?

I'm sad, however depeding on the price i still want one. are the bbls threaded for chokes? and can you use 2 3/4 with them or 3 inch only?

From reading their reply, I think they are worried believe it or not.
That is an interesting response.

Basically it sounds like if one could present all the reasons it is not an AR15 variant they are going to reverse the decision and make it non-restricted.
That's my gut feeling

It is getting rediculous that things are getting "AR15-Restricted" status for simply looking like one. What's next?
I know, let's arrest everyone who wears sunglasses into a bank because they look like they are going to rob it??

It almost sounds like the technician just wanted to "score" and get an (or another) Restricted ruling under their belt.
Rest assured, these guys are bragging about how many Restricted's or Prohibited's they are deeming throughout their careers... where's the glory in allowing another new firearm to be Non-Restricted?

Like it or not my friends, this is what it all boils down to.

My cigarette lighter is in the shape of a nuclear bomb. I guess I'm in possession of a controlled device!
This ruling sucks.

[tenringbound]

These clowns are under a lot of pressure to classify everything as restricted or prohibited, the result of having an entrenched Cretin-era Liberal bureaucrat in the drivers seat. If my SSD-BD38 becomes prohib my MP, Toews and these bozos know there will be a court case following.

No details on sales, if any, as yet. Pretty tough to sell as a range-only gun

Tougher than a non-restricted, but certainly a market still. This would likely do well at 3 gun competions as the set up and handling would be similar to your rifle. Is there an option for a top rail for mounting optics?

I am definitely interested in it still, and curious as to likely price and availablility of extra mags.

Sounds like it's time to make a serious play at de-restricting the AR-15, then this type of variant ruling becomes moot as well.

I wonder if doing a FOI request would show any additional reasoning (or lack thereof). At worst it may give timeframes as to why it took so long to get such a simple, and flawed report.

[umcoles]

I have always been choked about the AR platform restriction. Is it possible to legally repeal the ruling? Now would be the time to start since i foresee us having a Conservative government for the next while.
