I'm trying to find information and have been googling, reading and searching but still have not found a concrete answer to what i've been trying to understand. My questions start as follows:

we all know that the ruger SR-22 is a non-restricted rife and that the Smith & Wesson MP 15/22 is restricted. (which does not make ANY sense because if our laws are based on looks and barrel length these two rifles look near identical). I have seen full conformation that the ISSC Scar 22 is a non-restriced, but i have not seen anything to tell me if the Colt M4 22LR is either restriced or non-restricted. does anyone know the answer to this question? it falls in many cases into the catagory for non-restricted however just because it is based on an "AR" platform would mean that it is restricted. could our laws be anymore confusing.... please someone help!
 
The Colt AR's are restricted. Even the .22LR. I can't find a dealer at the moment (Wanstalls I think is a dealer), but every search on Google comes up as a restricted rifle.

Trying to justify classification of rifles in Canada is impossible. Nobody has a set of rules that say this-or-that. It's just what some tech is some office in some government building says-so. No appeal process, no reasoning.
 
The MP and Colt are restricted because their designed and built as variants according to the RCMP.

That case couldn't be made for the Ruger as it is obviously a 10/22.

The Scar design is not restricted by name as the AR is so they can't use the variant argument on the ISSC.

All retarded, but it makes sense to a point.
 
Badger firearms stocks the Colt M4 22LR's. Also thanks alot guys for the help, it is dumb how the classifications are made, and it makes it a very sad situation. Especially when you consider that a BAR in a 30-06 is a non-restricted rifle but a AR style 22LR can be. i hope that enough lobbying will occur to change this

Yes frontier is really good. Great service form those guys. Prairie gun traders is south of saskatoon lol. They are in Avonlea, Saskatchewan
 
that's good to know about frontier. I've heard good things about that guy that runs a buisness out of his quanset in margo as well. a good friend of mine went to him when he bought his 22.250 and got a bunch of extras out of the deal
