Colt M4 22LR

If it's not released yet then how is it that we have one sitting in our vault right now? :evil:

Some weeks ago there was an FRT number for these and they were showing as "Restricted" but at the moment that FRT listing is "gone" and it would appear that the classification is under review... so there would appear to be a chance that they may revise the original classification. Time will tell. It would be nice if they end up being classified as Non-Restricted but I have my doubts. All previous rulings would indicate a Restricted label but who knows... maybe we'll get lucky.

The guns are very different from regular AR's in some ways, yet appearance and layout is practically identical. Most parts are not the same... you definitely CANNOT convert the .22 version into anything else (receiver is polymer one piece that includes stock extension tube which is solid and cannot be replaced or accept buffer and spring. Many other differences... yet appearance and layout is classic AR.

We have one of the COLT M4's as well... side by side I really like the S&W much better than the COLT.

We heard really bad things from the US about the COLTs... that may or may not be factual... will have to see for ourselves what they are like and how well they stand-up. More info to come... soon I hope.

I know the story. They are not ready to be sold. You said yourself they are under review. You are a distributor so you can have em but are you selling them yet.(not talkin preorders) NorthSylva has em I know, but they can't do anything with em till they are reviewed so what difference does it make. I am jealous nonetheless. I am on the list but if it is restricted I may not bite on this one. I expect it will be, but have my fingers crossed.

You know this black crap needs stop!! It's a .22 and any form of it should be Non-Restricted, as .22 you are aloud to have as large of a mag as you want. Why would if be restricted if it's in AR15 platform? Hell if they wanted it could be Prohibited cause it could be classed as a replica gun! Hell, airsoft guns coming into canada have to have a transparent receiver or they are seized cause they lie under the replica gun rules!

I agree. I have been wanting one of the Remington VTR in .204 for coyote. I just really do not understand how I can have a Remington 7400 in .308 with 5 shots but I cannot have a Bushmaster with 5 shots in .223. If looks are the sole reason for denying someone a gun how the hell did I get a license.

there is a simple question that easily makes any rcmp/cfo tech that would classify the gun as restricted look lie a fool. "how is this gun any more dangerous than a 10/22?" Can they answer such a question without looking like an idiot? No. Same goes for an AR. "what makes this ar-15 any more dangerous than a mini 14?" Nothing! It is clear that our government is arbitrarily making decisions based on emotional outcry, and not on reason, and facts. This is nothing short of dangerous for our society, and would not be tolerated by a large population of our country if they only knew what was happening. We need to somehow make this public. We will be getting somwhere if Mr. Henderson gets through the appeal process from his case which he should have no problem doing.
