My buddy got out to some crown land today and put 75 rounds through his newly assembled TSR... He loaded up all his 5.56 stanag mags with various ammos and had not one failure of any kind.
40 rounds of winchester 55gr FMJ through 2 cross mags cycled perfectly and bolt held open all 4 times
20 rounds of winchester 55gr FMJ through 2 ASC Lar15 10/30 mags cycled perfectly and bolt held open both times
5 rounds of PMC Xtac 62gr XM855 through gen2 5/30 pmag cycled perfectly and bolt held open
5 rounds of American Eagle 62gr XM855 through gen 3 5/40 pmag cycled perfectly and bolt held open
5 rounds of Barnaul 62 gr steel case hollowpoints through gen 5/40 pmag cycled perfectly and bolt held open
When he took it down to clean it everything still looked brand new, virtually unshot

Your buddy is a good man
I think he honestly just tried to acquire whatever part seemed to have the best value at the time. There was not a lot of options available apparently , he just tried to stick to the nothing cheap, nothing special philosophy..
I'll see if he can compile a full list
This rifle identifies as a Liberal.
Therefore, it’s always right and when presented with being prohibited or banned, it can REEEEE louder than anything and ends the discussion right there with an auto-win of the debate.
It’s also part of the BLM movement, so it’s also got that going for it in a day and age where facts don’t mean anything.
In all seriousness though - ATRS upper clearly fits. A minor amount of work with a round file to get it to fit perfectly. (Gen 1 upper, and only needed a minute amount of material taken on the rear hook)

+2 would be cool to find out the build parts list... I am new to building a rifle and I am having a hard time knowing where to get a barrel/gas system.
Look in the dealer network in the banner at the top of the page. There are some who specialize in AR15 stuff.

A few vendors were even assembling uppers for a fee (other models) to get the hard part out of the way
You could then put the lower together with tools at home and dress it up
I doubt any are still offering this service - would be nice if they could post in their own forums advising of such

I'm shooting mine, both at the range and crown land but be prepared to answer questions and inform LEO or conservation officers with no guarantee. I've a copy of the ATRS MS FRT post May 1st and a print-out from the RCMP website that states the FRT is NOT LAW.
I bought my parts from Colin at True North Arms about a month ago. It was an absolute pleasure to do business with them!
Not sure that's the best tactic. Maybe in court, at some point, if it came to that. As far as LEOs in the field go, it's a sterling arms target sporting rifle, a canadian made firearm that meets all requirements to be non restricted which would not need an FRT classification to be sold or owned by a PAL holder and wasn't named in OIC
Minimal risk at the range, since I belong to The Shooting Edge Calgary, and when I shoot on Crown, it's during the week. If I'm arrested and/or my firearm is confiscated, I'm happy to go to court over that. Enough is enough, especially when as you mentioned, it is not an AR-15, and not a variant (yes, not defined) but a non-restricted firearm.
Lol, yeah that is probably one of the safer ranges
I am only shooting on private property and crown land right now anyway, but if I was asked I would not do their work for them, in terms of associating it with AR15s or any other prohib firearm.. As far as I know its called the Target Sporting Rifle by Sterling Arms as marked on the lower receiver and was not one of the ones named in the OIC, that's it that's all
