I don't think so, the details are somewhere in this thread, search for Clays posts, he gave the details of Lipsey's involvement.

OK, spoke with my lipseys rep. He said it is doable. Ruger wants 250 ordered but Lipseys said they could sell 50 down there , no problem. So, the ball is in our court now. 200 deposits and the order goes in.

No we don't.

To try to get one that suits the maximum number of people without driving cost up, perhaps just a 1-A with a custom serial like CAN1867-00001?

Someone on CGN suggested a serial number C303-001
C for Canada or Commonwealth and the caliber.

Or C303-001-250 the 250 as the number being issued undeer this contract.
The poll conducted on this forum re choice of Ruger .303 configuration now stands at 77 (31.05%) in favour of the #1-S over the RSI which is at 68 votes (27.42%). It's close but I'm on the side of the #1-S as my choice, with a 26" barrel. The Lee Enfield #5 carbine was rarely as accurate as the longer-barrelled rifle versions, and the RSI has a record of being cranky in the accuracy dept. also.

I'm in for sure with full wood, on the fence otherwise. Just hate to miss the opportunity no matter what the configuration. Maybe I should buy the lipseys ss rsi in 250 savage AND a .303 1a

Further whichever they decide to do the only real difference is the chambering of the barrels. Whether it be 20 inches 22inches and so on. They already have the wood whether it be 1A,1S or RSI.
Just my 2 cents worth.

There are only 150 commiteed buyers at this point and by the sounds of it only 200 rifles coming to Canada with 50 staying stateside, yet app 250 in the poll, so I would hope the poll has nothing to do with the actual order, for those on the fence I would say time is running out.
The order doesn't have to be 250. It might end up at 325 for all we know... or 0
I think the extra votes are fence sitters or people that will buy if it comes in the model they want. Thats why if 150 are firm then 200 will come to Canada. ETC.
