Brownells Retro Rifles

We now have licenses in place so we will be ordering in the New Year. As I understand things the 5.56 models are restricted, if any one wants something in this line please e-mail sales@wolverinesupplies.com and we should be able to work you into our first order. We plan to bring in a sample AR10 and apply for non -restricted status but this depends on the supporting TDP that I can put together. I believe the RCMP SFSS are not reviewing any applications for classifications at the moment, so we could be in for a long wait, I am guessing 6-9 months!

Is it too soon for me to put on my tinfoil hat....

I emailed to ask about ordering the BRN-PROTO.
It’s 5.56 so, restricted. Regardless of the political climate I want one and think we should all do our best to support the industry. I’ve wanted a PROTO since first seeing them. In my mind it’s one of the coolest rifles on the market.

Edit: Spelling

The very first BRN-10A rifles are in users' hands in the USA, and a couple of range reports have been posted on AR15.com.

There are reports that the rifles hit somewhat high at 100m, but otherwise seem to work well.

That brown plastic looks so terrible. Eek

Updates? And word/reason as for the RCMP not doing reviews...?

We have just received a shipment. We have to obtain a NAFTA Cert from Brownells to avoid 7% duty before we can sort out pricing and I am still waiting for technical data so I can apply for a non restricted classification for the AR10.

All enquiries to Sales@wolverinesupplies.com please.

Oh God...I've been dreaming of owning this exact rifle for over a decade. Back when it was only unicorn rumors of the 2 or 3 surviving original semi auto AR10s in the country.

Never thought it would ever come to be.
Please keep us in loop. I've never wanted a gun so bad as this one in all my time in this hobby.

How about the brn 180s?

I don't think you need an FRT for the BRN, since it is an upper compatible with an AR-15 lower; as such, I don't see why you couldn't import as a restricted AR-15 component. Their new BRN-180 lower with the built in PIC rail will still fit an AR-15 upper; even if you have to remove the buffer tube and it would not function semi-automatic rifle any longer, it would still be an AR-15 in the eyes of the RCMP. Therefore, a coupled BRN-180 upper and lower would both still be considerd an AR-15 as far as the RCMP, and still be a restricted firearm.

The WS-MCR serves the same function, as a rifle using the AR-180 operating system, but is non-restricted, so Wolverine may have decided not to bring the BRN-180 in, as it would have limited appeal being restricted, especially at its price point. Also, with the current political climate, avoiding anything that links the 180 platform to the "poisonous tree" of the AR-15 family would be prudent. As far as I know, no other supplier has brought in the BRN-180 to Canada, for likely the same reasons. Just my speculation, up to Wolverine if they want to comment.
