Why, it saids on the rcmp you cant import prohibited firearms as new import. Now i do not know if that applies to business firearm licence as well or not. I would assume no. Because why would they allow an importer brings in 50 to 100 prohibited rifle just to sit on them
This reminds of of ICBC, they monopolize insurance for so long that we no longer care how much we pay for car insurance. When i got a new car last year, i was pissed that i had to pay 4000$ a year. Now that i have gone private, because there are competitions and choices, i picked bcaa and i paid 1800$ for the exact same coverage.
Because IRG is greasy.....Very greasy....
I pay 900$ USD a year for insurance just 5 miles from the Canadian border it was almost 2500$ a year in BC.
Zero at fault accidents.
BL said they were contacted by police (both, on forum and on phone with Yuoza (if you listen to phone call)). BL also listed FRT dated September showing ATI model listed as prohibited.
It seems simple - conflicted FRTs, cops investigate, FRT is updated. End of story, but for stupid choice of words that created drama and accusations

Wtf are you talking about? The time stamps are EXACTLY what IRG stated. They beat Blue Line to announce the news by an hour and a half.
^ Hey Assasdasasd-hat don’t be a trolling do proper homework.
I too don’t get all the hostility. BLS might b pissed cuz IRG undercut. So what. As a consumer I got a great rifle for a solid price from a first to market dealer who beat out the next guy down the street. This is proper free market competition in my mind. Sure, IRG might never pick up the phone, and I might be using their free t-shirt to wash my car (don’t worry IRG I have a really nice car lol) but if you think BLS is going to send you a Christmas card for being a ‘loyal’ customer I think you’d b sadly mistaken.
Did GSG/ATI screw up their territories? Maybe. But IRG customers benefited while BLS shipments are still outstanding. Both would have gone through the same ports and customs scrutiny. The one better at executing in their route to market won. It’s that simple.

It is only simple if you don’t mind giving your money to the U.S while complaining about the Canadian economy.
If it was another competitor that contacted the rcmp to push for prohibited status than they are taking actions that are directly affecting us as Canadian gun owners.I don't know who reported it but if it was a competitor i would think a total boycott of their site would be in order.It doesn't affect me on this particular firearm but i could on future ones.
We are moving on and will be locking this thread…
We would like to leave you with this realistic thought:
Given all the high-profile firearm related offences or arrests in the last few months compounded with an election and a hungry Liberal party trying to make a statement, do you really think the RCMP
with an unlimited amount of resources,
access to the criminal code,
the Canadian firearms program,
the FRT,
SSFS Inspection Services,
compounded with all the information on the GSG-16 rifle that was submitted for classification and a detachment less then two miles from us, why not stop in and say hi, why would they reach out to another exporter?
An exporter who is our competition, and our only competition on this platform who’s GSG-16’s were 4 weeks out and who has had everyone posting pictures of our rifles on their forums.
What benefit, guidance or information could the RCMP possibly receive from Blueline other then their frustration and distaste for us…. Then, the RCMP turns around and contacts us, I don't think that is how an investigation works...
Or is it a possibility Blue Line had enough and decided to reach out to the BC CFO and stir the pot even further, possibly imploding the whole thing considering they had already called and complained to anyone who would listen at ATI and even GSG in Germany got involved several weeks ago.
We are also not sure where this came from, this is not part of the FRT
Have a great Thanks Giving weekend.
