^^^okay, okay...I didn't mean adopting U.S. laws/regulations. Just saying that if something has been available down there for months/years, there's no need for a lengthy classification process up here. The commercial Beretta sold there would be the same one sold here.

+1 RCMP lab must be close.
 
At least 7.62x39 is still affordable to shoot, and also this rifle looks really easy to take down and change. That with caliber conversion, with it's ambi nature, it will be a winner if it comes in NR and under or around the 2k mark.

Why do so many people want one in 7.62x39?
Here we have the latest greatest space gun and you ask for it in a crappy old cartridge designed in 1943 that most buy corrosive?
Why not ask for it in a modern cartridge like the 300 blackout which provides the same ballistics when shooting 110-125gr rounds but can also run up to 220gr subsonics?
If you can afford a modern$2000+ rifle you should be able to feed it something healthy.

I already own an ACR and love it but since these won't be hitting our shelves for at least a year that's plenty of time to save up for another new rifle. I'll take a NR .223 with a 300BLK NR barrel.

I had a pretty quick response from the lab when I asked about this rifle.

Here is the response I got on July 24th. Not too much in the way of useful info but at least it is on their radar:

The legal classification of the Beretta Model ARX100 is not known at this time. This firearm is the semiautomatic version of the Beretta ARX160 full automatic assault rifle. A sample is presently under inspection to confirm the legal classification.
Semiautomatic versions of automatic firearm requires physical inspection before a legal classification is assigned. All opinions concerning the classification of firearm recorded in the Firearms Reference Table (FRT) database are very carefully considered, take into account all information available at the time and a founded entirely on the classification provisions in the Criminal Code and supporting regulations as enacted by parliament.

The time it takes to complete assessments of firearms depends on the complexity of the firearm, the thoroughness and clarity of the manufacturer's data package and the quantity of work on hand.

Hope this help
