Not sure if we're going to like the pricing... I'm finding PE90s for 3450 CHF which is equivalent to $4580 Canadian dollars... Luckily I have one already

Do the swiss have a VAT???

I know German websites (Like Nills grips) have the price WITH 18% VAT, so when you order outside of the EU that is removed.... If the swiss have a VAT, it would take a big chunk off that MSRP (although since separating from the Euro maybe this isn't there?)
 
How would 308 happen? They didn't do a OIC to make all variants of sg550 not prohibited. ASAIK they just OIC the existing models.

I also want to know if the CQB is a 553 or 552. If it is a 552, and the 553 is given a new FRT, then it will be prohibited as a variant of the SG550, no? Or is it just a slight modification to the existing 552 to make it function better and therefore the same FRT?

I'm pretty sure all the CQB versions coming in now have the 553 gas system. Exact same gun, but with different bolt carrier (old style) and the shortened original Carbine/rifle gas system instead of the different and problematic 552 style gas system.

I think an old thread on here there was a way to get the 553 style gas systems to retrofit the CQB, but they were extremely expensive.


I know it's a long shot, but since the Black Special and all the other rifles were exempted, wouldn't it be possible to explain that the Canadian SAPR is a variation of the Black Special / Classic Green series of rifles... Although considering it's already been classified by the RCMP, it means an entire new rifle would need to be submitted, AKA fat chance....

the 552 is no longer manufactured. the 553 has replaced it.
