with all this talk about which ars are allowed in canada and which are not...

OK which ARs (good ones) are available to the general public?
 
As long as there not F.A. and you have your restricted license you are good to go....
Lots and lots of great choices out there plus you can do so many mods to customize them its like a project that never ends.
in no particular order LMT, Stag, DPMS, COLT, KAC, RRA, Bushmaster, Noveske and many more.
There is truly an AR for everyone

Oops! I didn't mean to forget ATRS ;) Though their AR15 receiver is a little different in that it is machined from billet with an integral trigger guard.
 
then why are such platforms as the Rec7 not legal here? talking to some dealers in edmonton i cant even buy a DPMS arctic panther...yet i can buy a panther classic, was also told 1 of the S&W mps isnt legal here...

I don't know who told you that the Barrett REC7 was not legal here but they are mistaken (or you misunderstood them). The REC7 is in the CFC's FRT Database and classified as a "Restricted" Firearm (an AR Variant). It is perfectly legal to own here in Canada if you hold a Restricted PAL.

The problem is that US State Department won't issue export licenses to allow the firearm to legally leave the US for sales to commercial end-users... thus Canadian importers can't get them for sale to civilian buyers.

That is becoming more and more a problem with US made AR's as US State Department continues to tighten their export restrictions.

As long as they aren't full auto or a converted auto, they are all restricted in Canada.
US State department rules might limit what you can buy here, but as for Canadian laws, they are all good to go.

M&P's are legal, as is the Rec7, the problem is getting the Rec7 out of the states, not getting it into Canada. The M&P is available from many dealers, and usually runs around the $1500-1600 mark.
 
well i went around to a bunch of different dealers in edmonton (didnt just call in this time) Kelly @ phoenix was a huge help in helping me make a decision and i have decided to go with the STI in a .223.. it felt good in my hands and was very comfortable and light...not to mention the JP trigger is awesome.. i am already an STI owner (pistol) so i am fully aware of their amazing quality and craftsman ship. and at $1500 its a great mid priced AR

im not looking for an amazing "assault/tactical" as i have no ties with the practical shooting guys...although it would be nice to get in with some of them id like to give it a try.

basically looking for a range/bench gun..
 
Even if dealers tell you that all incoming firearms are sold, I would still maintain contact with them. Unless all the firearms have been prepaid in full, there is usually someone who, at the last moment is unable to come up with the complete payment. Cash is king.
I would at least maintain contact, and ask to be put onto a waiting list in case someone does not follow through on their purchase. Then you could slip into the one that suddenly becomes available. If they are all pre-paid in full, only a fool would say keep the merchandise I have already paid for.
