CZ Bren 2 MS NON-Restricted MAJOR UPDATE Post 587

[Cyrus69]

So they May 18th deadline is not accurate?

Appears this way, keenly awaiting some clarification. Maybe with government efficiency the real date is 2 years out

Thanks for the followup. As far as the HBI stuff goes, I would like the trigger shoe, the extended handguard, and the upgraded gas plug/springs.

Thanks!

Spoke with HBI on hand guards and they are in development of a longer one to cover 16” barrels of the US models but they are going to make sure they will work with the gas system of our 18.5” barrels. They stated that it’s in their upcoming production run this summer.

Likely, but we still have zero information from the RCMP. We will update when we do.

Another e-mail from the CSAAA:

Important Update

We have all seen a lot of different information about changes to the protocol for selling non-restricted firearms after May 18th.

CSAAA met with members of Public Safety and the Canadian Firearms Program members this morning to get clarification on the notice stating that Bill C71 will come into force next week (May 18th).

During a meeting on April 24th, CSAAA was informed that our industry members would receive plenty of notice to prepare for these changes...

It has been confirmed by Public Safety and the CFP that Bill C71 will in fact come into effect in one week, on Wednesday, May 18th of 2022 at midnight.

As of midnight on May 18th, businesses and individuals wishing to transfer/sell a non-restricted firearm will be required to obtain a “reference number” through the Business (or individual) Web Services.

The buyer will not be responsible for obtaining this reference number.

The call center will be available from 9am-5pm nationally as an alternative to the web services.

This reference number should be automatically generated if nothing is flagged through the buyer/transferee’s firearm license number.

The seller and buyer/transferee must remain consistent with each reference number. An additional reference number must be obtained if a buyer/transferee wishes to purchase a firearm from a different seller.

Reference numbers will be valid for a total of 90 days, unless revoked during that time period. The buyer will be notified and asked to contact their CFO if their reference number has been revoked.

Businesses will not be required to enter any firearm specific information when transferring a non-restricted firearm.

This reference number is required for firearms only, and will not be required for ammunition purchases.

CSAAA requested that a tutorial on this new system be made available for our industry members. We should expect to see this tutorial available as of Monday, May 16th. We will notify our members as soon as this tutorial is available.

We have made it clear to CFP and Public Safety that this system will not work for gun shows and trade shows. CSAAA suggested an “on demand” call center for such events. No such services are available at this time, but we will be following up on this.

Thanks for the update Marstar, glad I kept my pre-order!

[secr92]

The status of pre-order is out of stock now..

Will there be any re-stock?

[Uniacke]

I’d be interested to know how many rifles were available for this pre-order, if Marstar is able to tell us?

Hopefully thousands.
