That has nothing to do with classification. The ONLY way this would be restricted is if an AR15 upper fits on it and can be fired at least once. Or if it was shorter.

i got this email from them today :

Dear Mr. ###xx, We have not yet sent these carbines to Canada. We plan on working with a number of dealers across Canada, but have not yet sent samples to the RCMP for import classification. We hope to obtain "Non-Restricted" status by shipping them with a 19" barrel and a 5 round magazine. Bushmaster makes a "Carbon-15" pistol. It uses the same magazine that we use in our carbine. Is it possible that 10 round magazines are already certified? Thanks,

and yes i told them we have access to those mags

This guy gets US dealer of the year for wanting to sell (and understanding the hoops he has to jump through) in Canada.

Taking AR-15 trigger groups should have no effect on the classification of this rifle. Remember, the AR-180B takes an AR-15 trigger and is still non-restricted.

Yah, the AR180b is funny that way. You mix a prohibited firearm with a Restricted firearm and get a Non-Restricted firearm...

Anyways... IMO, if the receiver is clearly not based on the AR15 receiver (and it appears to be of a different design), it would probable be deemed not a variant, and be Non-Restricted (subject to barrel length restrictions).
 
He responded the same to my email... he gets points in my book for:

- Knowing a little about the Canadian regs
- Caring about conforming to those regs to sell to us

How many don't know and don't bother?
