Boring names are fine...I just want something I can Google.

Wombat Massage Incorporated's Wombifle. Anything that doesn't give 9 million hits because the acronym is "USA"

To keep the RCMP off my back, I named my coyote rifle design the Boring Utility Target Rifle for All Predator Expeditions.

Wait a minute.....
 
A budy claimed he saw a Savage MSR semi auto AR type rifle in a local Canadian Cabela's. Are these things in Canada and what has the RCMP classified it as?

You answered yourself. AR15's and all variants of the aforementioned are restricted by name unless they have a low shelf lower, in which case the lower reciever is prohibited.
 
Some notes about the XRS
These are from the FRT, Please don't ask what they mean, generic notes with the frt entry. Apparently this is not a standard AR15 lower.

- "XRS - C" is marked on the left side of the receiver/frame.
- "XRS - C" variations look like the Colt AR-15/M16 rifle design.
- "XRS - C" stands for "eXtreme Rifle System - Canada".
- "XRS - C" receiver/frame will not function with a standard AR-15 upper assembly.
- features include: threaded muzzle for flash hider/muzzle brake; light, medium or heavy weight contoured steel barrel or fluted, heavy stainless steel; low profile gas block with adjustable gas regulator; long stroke piston operated gas system; Picatinny rails are found on the handguard; aluminum receiver/frame with integral trigger guard and Picatinny rail flat top upper assembly; ambidextrous, non-reciprocating, folding charging handle; collapsible buttstock that may be side folding; synthetic pistol grip; matte black or color finish.

- the Faxon Firearms model XRS-C is a prohibited firearm within the meanings of the Criminal Code PART III, Section 84 definitions of automatic firearm and prohibited firearm: "automatic firearm" means a firearm that is capable of, or assembled or designed and manufactured with the capability of, discharging projectiles in rapid succession during one pressure of the trigger; "prohibited firearm" means (c) an automatic firearm, whether or not it has been altered to discharge only one projectile with one pressure of the trigger. - the 458 SOCOM cartridge was designed to be used in standard M16 rifle and M4 carbine magazines. In the case of AR platform firearms chambered for 458 SOCOM calibre, conventional M16, M4 and AR-15 magazines can be used provided they contain no more than five 5.56x45 mm NATO cartridges. It is possible that some magazines are modified to work better with the 458 SOCOM cartridge but this has no effect on maximum legal capacity.
 
I am itching to know how they determined that a gun which uses AR LPK's is an automatic. Do they have a CNC machine in that ''lab'' of theirs? Did they machine full auto parts for it?
 
So they tried to make a rifle for Canada specifically and the RCMP banned it to keep it from being non-restricted as a full-auto because they couldn't use the ar15 lineage as an excuse to make it restricted. Nice job! Same deal as the HK 243 then!
