Any updates on Troy Sporting Rifle (PAR)

it has been answered, and it will use standard AR mags, they will come with 10 shot mags pinned to 5 shot, so you will have to use pistol mags to get above the 5 shot AR mags

I ordered one in 300 BO today. IRG followed up with a call. Apparently the RCMP changed their mind and are considering the PAR to be restricted UNLESS :
1) The folding stock is removed (pinning is not acceptable to the RCMP or
2) barrels are supplied at 18".
IRG will be either shopping restricted PARs or rebarrelling to 18 in. Apparently this is cheaper than adding the buffer tube adapter and collapsible stock available on other Troy models.
No idea if this same ruling will apply to the "optics ready" versions if and when they ever come in.
That's all I know. I have a friend who is getting the 5.56 version and he got the same call from IRG today.
Sucks because it stupid AND adds extra cost ($100-150) to the rifle. IRG is letting people either
1) cancel
2) get a restricted version
3) have a longer barrel installed at extra cost
I went with 3)

DAMN
I bought the 300 BO one too. I haven't got a call yet.
I think I will cancel unless they can import it without the folding stock at all. The problem might be with the folding stock. No stock at all, no folding stock to have a problem with.

From their website:
Length: 36.25" stock open & extended / 33.75" stock open & collapsed / 26.25" stock folded
I figured it just had to be over 26" and it was good to go, being a manual action and all...

That seems to be true.
(c) a firearm that is designed or adapted to be fired when reduced to a length of less than 660 mm by folding, telescoping or otherwise, or
I don't know what they are trying to pull with this stunt. If it is legitimately 26.5" folded, it has to be good.
Unless they've changed the rules again.
I got the call today too, apparently the RCMP changed the frt because the over all length folded was less the 26" without the muzzle break on. I went with the rebarrel option. I want that folding stock, this seems to be the only way.
Okay, that could make some sense. That is what it is about.
They might as well measure without the stock on then. Total bull####.
Where in the Firearms Act does it say that muzzle devices don't count into overall length?
They don't count for barrel length. That's it.
It's a manually operated firearm. Barrel length is not relevant provided length is over 26" when folded.
