Importing and classification of the Nemo Omen line of rifles.

I agree, if that shotgun pictured above got deemed an AR variant, theres no way this rifle will. It may not BE an AR, but its very much patterned after one. The upper and lower don't have to fit with current .223 or 308 uppers and lowers, it just has to use a similar internal design. If its simply an AR action scaled up... its an AR. The RCMP isnt looking for reasons TO classify as non restricted... they are looking for reason NOT TO classify as non restricted. Sucks for sure, but there are .22's that don't even function the same way an AR does but were deemed AR variants simply due to how they looked.

Nice looking gun, hell of a price. AR-15 Inspired in design .. I have a hard time seeing how this would be classfied as NR unfortunately.

if that is an AR15, i have no doubt the Nemo is an AR15 in the eyes of the RCMP

Exactly. Ar variant, at least in the eyes of the RCMP. Let's get together and try to change the laws.

I guess it all depends on how it is marketed and advertised. If this manufacturer see some potential in Canadian market, maybe a local .ca website with a more politically correct marketing strategy may create a miracle...?

Definitely AR variant.

Please and thank you for looking into this Irunguns! I will definitely take a nemo if they can come across the border as non-restricted, probably take one anyway if you could import some.

The Firearms Blog says that the manufactures (Nemo) designed the rifle from the magazine up, might be able to get away with it not being a variant based on that... Dunno the RCMP is pretty bad in regards to that stuff.

I looked up some pics, the bolt carrier somewhat resembles an AR15 but the bolt itself is quite different. I dig that it doesn't have a bagillion lugs. Would make cleaning mucho easy. I'd buy the heck out of that if it was NR. Restricted rifles really turn me off.
