Interesting

Wow! I'm very interested in getting one.

We have just received a shipment. We have to obtain a NAFTA Cert from Brownells to avoid 7% duty before we can sort out pricing and I am still waiting for technical data so I can apply for a non restricted classification for the AR10.

All enquiries to Sales@wolverinesupplies.com please.

Oh God...I've been dreaming of owning this exact rifle for over a decade. Back when it was only unicorn rumors of the 2 or 3 surviving original semi auto AR10s in the country.

Never thought it would ever come to be.
Please keep us in loop. I've never wanted a gun so bad as this one in all my time in this hobby.

I would like the BRN-601 with his green stock .....

We have completed our research and applied for the FRT for Brownells BRN-10 rifles.

How about the brn 180s?

We have no plans to pursue her at this time.

Great news!! Now that you have one in hand, would you mind trying to pin on a Stag-10 upper or perhaps a KAC upper? It appears that it should be pretty dang close.

Close but not close enough for the Stag, no KAC in stock.

I don't think you need an FRT for the BRN, since it is an upper compatible with an AR-15 lower; as such, I don't see why you couldn't import as a restricted AR-15 component. Their new BRN-180 lower with the built in PIC rail will still fit an AR-15 upper; even if you have to remove the buffer tube and it would not function semi-automatic rifle any longer, it would still be an AR-15 in the eyes of the RCMP. Therefore, a coupled BRN-180 upper and lower would both still be considerd an AR-15 as far as the RCMP, and still be a restricted firearm.

The WS-MCR serves the same function, as a rifle using the AR-180 operating system, but is non-restricted, so Wolverine may have decided not to bring the BRN-180 in, as it would have limited appeal being restricted, especially at its price point. Also, with the current political climate, avoiding anything that links the 180 platform to the "poisonous tree" of the AR-15 family would be prudent. As far as I know, no other supplier has brought in the BRN-180 to Canada, for likely the same reasons. Just my speculation, up to Wolverine if they want to comment.
