What we know:
First and foremost, what is clear and established, is that the FRT is opinion, and not law.
The order in council, is law and not opinion, no matter how wrong it is.
The May 1st OIC does not mention the modern hunter, varmint, or sporter under any category, that we can find or are aware of at this time.
Latest information we have is that the Modern Varmint, Modern Hunter and Modern Sporter were changed to a prohibited classification under the RCMP’s Firearms Reference Table.
Of important note: Writing in the FRT has been erased or amended to cover these actions.
What we are doing:
We are continuing to manufacture and ship out receivers. Communication in regard to this will be ongoing.
Our position is even though the MS is listed in the FRT as prohibited, all of the paid-in-full orders are already legally sold PRIOR to the recent changes and are a matter of returning property to their owners. Current deposit orders represent a transaction that began before this unlawful FRT change took place.
Orders that are just a deposit are encouraged to finalize the order and complete payment, but in compliance with our terms and conditions, refunds and cancellations are not being accepted at this time with one exception:
If someone has a 50% deposit placed we will allow them to back out of the remaining 50%. We will convert the existing deposit to the purchase of a lower receiver. The lower will be shipped, and you can partake in the government’s upcoming buyback program at your discretion.
At this time we would appreciate all communication to be handled through email to info@albertatacticalrifle.com and please be patient as we are being inundated with questions to which no one has any answers.
We will be answering phones only between the hours of 11 am and 3 pm Mountain Standard Time.
All other phone calls will be directed to voicemail until further notice to allow us to work through this situation.
What is coming:
We intend to fight this, and are in talks with other organizations to potentially pool resources towards this cause. We are working towards setting up a gofundme for legal action.
