You should be in the regular black and green section not precision.

It's unfortunate the RCMP pulled another doucher move and made these restricted even though they share almost no parts with an AR-15 or AR-10. I hoped they would be able to be converted to non restricted with a longer barrel like an ACR.
They look to be the first and only AR styled rifle that is built to properly run the x39 cartridge instead of a retrofit that is not ideal and prone to reliability problems.

from what I have found, this is not really a fault of the rcmp, the entity that first imported these stated it was an AR variant to get it in country and up for sale quickly on our market.
Submitting it for examination to potentially get a NR FRT would mean it would still be at the lab and not on their stores shelves making them money.
This rifle is less of an AR than a modern hunter/varmint.
Hopefully (in not already too late) someone submits one to have the status changed.
Wild West had at least one last time I was in there a week or so ago.

Well Brian46 you couldn't be more incorrect!
When we imported these rifle's we made NO claim or STATEMENT as to what these might be when requesting a FRT# for this firearm from the RCMP. We submitted photo's and requested a FRT# nothing more, nothing less.
Also we are not required to submit or receive a FRT or classification prior to importation.
We challenged the RCMP when they informed us of the classification as a AR Variant with no success. Typical ' this is our determination'.
If you want to know more about what happened ask the people who are involved!
Respectfully,

You would have to change buffer tube and maybe spring and buffer, but check with CMMG, their customer service response is quick
Not sure I follow your wording on this, you say any will work then say they are specific to the gun? I would have to look into it further but I seem to remember the carrier being bigger than Ar-15 and smaller than AR-10 so only the second half of your post would be correct. A person would have to order the buffer, spring, and tube from the carbine version then look into whether the pistol version has a shorter gas system and if that is compatible with the carbine buffer system. Just like an AR-15 it's not always as simple as just swapping parts, the system must be balanced. There is usually some room to mix and match but reliability may suffer if things are just swapped from rifle to pistol.
I watched a video a long time ago that stripped down the three rifles and compared all the differences. Would have to find it again.

You will have to replace the buffer tube with one that allows for adding a stock (re: adjustment slots, etc).
The buffer and spring are unique to the rifle and can be put into the mil spec (recommended) buffer tube you put on the rifle.
Ok, good to know. I wasn't sure if it used the same buffer tube as an AR-15, in the video I watched the bolt and carrier looked larger than an AR-15 and smaller than an AR-10. Diameter of the buffer must be the same while other dimensions are changed.
This rifle definitely looks to be the best answer for those people who want to shoot x39 in a platform similar to an AR. If it could be converted to NR with a longer barrel I would definitely be shopping for one.
