MH now prohibited?

I don't think it's about the looks.
Prior to this ban, a lot of manufacturers used the AR-102 design as a loop-hole to make Non-Restricted ARs. The RCMP is cracking down on manufacturers that used this loop-hole, for example, the Macabee SLR used a T-Slot assembly that was derived from the AR10A (XN03) that is why it is now banned.
Now did the MH & the MV also have any of these features? What about the Modern Sporter? The only person who can answer this is ATRS.

The MH was designed from the ground up to be an NR-legal rifle. ATRS had to work very hard to create something that was dissimilar enough to the AR platforms that it would make it as NR, and they worked with the RCMP lab to get that done.
At minimum, banning the Modern Hunter under the current premise of this ban (these guns dont have a sporting/hunting purpose) is clearly ridiculous, it has HUNTER in the ####ing name! What is worse though, is this will undoubtedly stifle firearms design and manufacturing in Canada, because who the #### will spend the time to make us such amazing pieces of work when the government will approve it for sale one day, and then ban it the next?
"Canadian Law Comments:
This firearm design is derived from an amalgamation of several different firearm designs and does not trace its design lineage directly or uniquely to a "prohibited" or a "restricted" firearm found in the Regulations appended to the Criminal Code."
...yet, it's now prohibited. Thanks JT, BB, and HR.

It’s a very nebulous term “variants and modified versions” of. The RCMP have already said it’s not a variant of the ar15 and they are the authority so it’s not one. What does modified version of mean? If the Modern sported isn’t an ar15 or a variant of one I fail to see how it could be a modified version of one. If something is a modified version it started out as the item and was modified correct?
Any device designed to accelerate an object in such a way that it can be reliably and repeatably used to strike another object at a distance is going to be prohibited before too long. When laws are written so poorly they start to bleed out into their surroundings with (in this case intended, even if) unpredictable results. Neither you or anything you think you own is safe.
In the end, the stupid people could say "you only need a knife to kill the deer" as far as Liberals believe themselves.
Called the rcmp firearms program today and asked if the typhoon was prohibited and they looked it up and said yes. I asked why since it wasn’t named on the gazette list and they said because it’s a variant of the AR15. I mentioned it does not have interchangeable parts, they asked me if it looked like an AR15 and I said yes it has the same silhouette, they said well there you go.

Well that's not technical information. The person who answered the phone is pretty much reading off the FRT and not much more. The issue surrounding all these recent FRT changes comes down to the term "variant" which isn't defined.
Everybody here should know by now.....that they simply add the word variant to any firearm that they think looks scary to soccer moms....plain and simple. Also JT said as the public moves to other firearms that might take the place of ar15
..they will ban those too. Only hope we have is a CPC majority government.
