You have clearly NOT been paying attention to CDN firearms laws and what the RCMP considers to be a variant.
On numerous occasions, firearms that share not a single component part, operate in a completely different manner and have not a single thing in common with a named prohibit except the most basic cosmetic resemblance have been classified as a variant and prohibited.
The AK-12 is essentially a product improved AK and people are really asking/arguing that this thing might be allowed into the country? Give your collective heads a shake gentlemen.
