beretta ARX 100

[Tenguns]

So the Cartels have them as well then?

Hoping they will be non restricted whenever the RCMP gets around to announcing something.

You'd be surprised what they have. Micro Uzis to M2s and everything in between.

Time to bring this to the attention of your MP and the Minister, it is our only option, or are we all sheep?

Definitely all sheep

Since this thread got resurrected,,here goes...
I played with the ARX-100 at SHOT 2015. They had a few barrel lengths up on display. On first impressions, the gun looked good. Picking it up, felt like a cheaply made Nerf gun. The controls are tiny and not particularly ergonomic. Most of it is plastic. The only thing going for it is that it is very light. A mid range AR would run circles around this rifle. A couple of guys picked up the rifle after me, cycled the action, shrugged their shoulders and went on their way. Not much to say.

This is exactly the same impression I got from playing around with them at the Shot Show. However until we get the RCMP lab to approve these it is a mute point.

So its not just me...
I was really pumped about this after seeing photos.
After trying one at SHOT Media Day, I felt a bit unimpressed.

That was the joke....

Anyways. Would be nice to hear some good news about this but I guess with the RCMP these days no news is better than bad news right now.

Here's all you need to read about it. With a trigger pull of 12+ pounds and less than stellar reliability, there are many other guns that you'd be better off with.

How long has this particular sample been submitted to the RCMP for classification?

The Ugly:

Trigger. Seriously Beretta… come on
Factory sights very high, with no cheek comb like on the SCAR or ACR

Yes, I agree about the terrible cheekweld.

Too much to read. Who submitted it to RCMP. Was decision made by them yet?

 

[Red Flyer]

I'd have one.

Submitted by Stoeger for classification almost 18 months ago, they also have a full auto AR160 for reference & still no decision has been rendered ...

[BadRonin]

It'll never happen, for no logical reason of course.

But if by some miracle (years from now) it did, I would most definitely purchase one.

A dream for lefties.

 

[xdmer]

I would like to hold one, I wouldn't buy this unheld, but I am interested.

You know, I'm going to plant an idea for any budget conscious government-type/politician who may come across this:
We can save a bunch of money on the RCMP/government department that does these classifications by downsizing/eliminating them. We can just use U.S. BATF standards of approval and save our lab guys the time and expense (and backlog). This will also be good for business and consumers. One can be sure that prior to importation, the BATF is pretty convinced that a firearm like the said Beretta cannot be made full auto (despite the fact that there are many more gunsmiths in the US). So, why do we need the redundancy in keeping our firearms experts backlogged with classifications?
If it's safe enough for the US commercial market, it's "safe" enough here....

 

[Mil Specs]

BATF classification would make a lot of our guns schedule 2 (?) requiring a tax stamp in the US, and it might be a no go up here. This is why the US registers some rifle-ish guns as pistols.

 

[tootall]

The BATFE are not always the brightest bulbs on the tree, either.

And wasn't there something about pot scrubbers an insulation, being suppressors too?

In Canada the Mare's Leg is a non-restricted rifle. In the States it is a "restricted" handgun.

Not everything the Americans do would be good for Canadians.

 

[zupermann]

^^^okay, okay...I didn't mean adopting U.S. laws/regulations. Just saying that if something has been available down there for months/years, there's no need for a lengthy classification process up here. The commercial Beretta sold there would be the same one sold here.
