New from Sturm, Ruger & Co. is the SFAR, or Small Frame Autoloading Rifle. While nearly identical in size to a traditional 5.56mm caliber modern sporting rifle, the SFAR is chambered in 7.62 NATO/.308 Winchester. This allows the SFAR to combine the advantages of the larger .308 Winchester caliber with the size of a traditional AR-15 pattern rifle. The SFAR is initially offered in two models, one with a 16.1 inch barrel, and one with a 20 inch barrel.

The bolt and barrel extensions are CNC-machined from high-strength super alloy steel that outperforms traditional C158 bolts. The tapered lug geometry further strengthens the breech in order to support larger short-action cartridges.The bolt includes dual ejectors and an optimized extractor to ensure positive extraction and ejection of the spent case through the enlarged ejection port. The rifle-length gas system features a .75 inch 4-position rotary-regulator gas block for functionality across the wide range of ammunition available in the marketplace. There are venting holes in the upper receiver, barrel extension, and bolt carrier to ensure that excess gas is directed safely away from the user.

The upper receiver is made from a 7075-T6 hard-coat anodized aluminum forging and has a brass deflector, forward assist, and full-length Picatinny rail. The lower receiver features a generous flare on the magazine well for easy magazine insertion. There is also a Ruger Elite 452 trigger for a smooth, crisp 4.5-pound 2-stage trigger pull. A full-strength hammer spring and lightweight hammer ensure fast lock times and consistent primer ignition. The SFAR is also compatible with mil-spec MSR trigger groups, receiver end plates, charging handles, pistol grips, and adjustable stocks. The rifle ships with one, 20-round Magpul PMAG magazine and is compatible with SR25/AR-10-pattern .308 Win/7.62 NATO magazines.

can't be on the ban list as it's come out since the list in 2020. it's not an ar15; i've done a lot of looking and measuring re running a 308 round through a 223-sized semi and the receiver (lower and upper) has to be longer to allow the longer round to extract. so physically different dimensions. and not an ar10 as it is advertised as being similar to an ar15 in size.

so some hope?

Nah, give up all hope. That thar is an AR. Under a Lieberal or NDP government citizens aren't to be trusted with it.
 
The new Ruger SFAR (Small Frame Autoloading Rifle) .308 Rifle is the size of the AR-15 but handles the .308 caliber like an AR-10 without the weight and larger size. It's a true hybrid between the two. Thanks to Ruger for supplying the SFAR for the Review

No hope. If I recall they added a Turkish semiauto shotgun after the OIC because of some shootout in Alberta.

They can add everything and anything they want

I'm going to stay positive as the upper is not interchangeable with any MSR15 time stamp in video 8:53
, it also comes in a 20 inch barrel.

Trudeau’s Gun Grab goes evergreen
As soon as the RCMP or a gaggle of Justice department bureaucrats decide to add an additional model or models to the banned list, it will be done with no more effort (or democratic legitimacy) than pressing the “Enter” button on a computer.
