What's not to understand? He's obviously been told by the manufacturer that the particular model in question isn't going to be available. Maybe the bayonet lug isn't something that IWI is willing to put on rifles exported for sporting use.
Folks need to figure out that just because something exists, they want it, and that it's legal in Canada, doesn't necessarily mean that it's something we can reasonably get our hands on. There are a pile of possible reasons. Manufacturers may decide to limit sales or production of certain items. They may have contractual obligations that preclude certain things at a given point in time. Various national governments may choose to restrict the export of certain items. There may not be enough demand to make the importation of certain specific items feasible (ne economy of scale).
GOOD NEWS TIME: IWI has informed me our guns are ready to ship. They are waiting on the export papers, then we will have them ASAP.
BAD news is those few who have ordered special sights or barrels MAY not get them on this batch. I am waiting on the final word from IWI. We may have them put them in the order, and we will install them in Canada. I will let you know.
This is a VERY large order of guns, and I don't want to delay the bulk of the order for 5 or 6 special orders. We may also be able to fly the specials in separately. Unfortunately IWI's communications leave a great deal to be desired.
I will be away at a merchant of death conference until April 9, but Mark at the office can field your calls. I will also have email.
BTW that photo is the first time I have seen the bayo lug. I will ask for them next time if folks want them. IWI is a small company and makes a lot of changes and demo guns for different reasons.

I'm one of the 6 with a special order on. I can wait a little bit, would be outstanding if I could get it before my Tactical Responce course in June.
As long you don't mess up my order, I'll still smile. This is the one I'm after.

Well the standard is the rifle version (non-restricted barrel length) with the mepro-21 sight.
I have the armorer's manual that was posted some time ago around here, installing the rail doesn't seem hard at all. But one thing that i'd like to know is about the barrel wrench; can anything be used in its place? (we won't get any with the rifle?) Flat blade screwdriver ? Help me CanAm

I think CanAm said he'd be trying to bring in a few guns above and beyond the orders he has.
