Your rifle is NOT banned. An RPA Quadlock rifle in 50 BMG, FRT# 60578-4, is now prohibited because of caliber. An RPA Quadlock in any other caliber, for example 308, FRT# 60578-1, is still non restricted.

That's the way you and I read it but I have not gotten any confirmation of this from any "official" source.

I bought the action years ago as a bare action. Later chambered a barrel in 6mm-22/250 and put it in a laminated Shehane stock.

But do I want to argue all the nuances of the OIC with some RCMP rookie whose wife has PMS and his boss just reamed him out and now he see's this huge "sniper rifle" in the back of my car.

I suspect sloppy draftsmanship when the OIC was drawn up. Wanted the RPA .50, ignorant of the fact that most Quadlocks are smaller target rifles. Very doubtful that your rifle is prohibited.

Sorry but under that poorly written document they are all banned .
 
I was quoting an official source. I am a federally licensed verifier. I looked it up on the Firearms Reference Table before I posted. Let me repeat, the OP’s rifle is NOT banned. An RPA Quadlock in calibers other than 50 BMG are still non restricted in the FRT.
