Because America made it - and has the right to control its sale -- part of the agreement in the sale/export to Canada -- is that Canada does not export it.
You may apply to DFAIT for an export permit for them -- however they should not approve them -- AND -- if DFAIT is approving them -- say goodbye to an US AR sales to us.
With all the Steyr HS-50's that have popped up in Iraq -- that the Austrian gov't sold to Iran -- the US has a right to be catious -- especially considering Canada sold a bunch of Helicopters to Iran 6 or so years ago...

Gotcha.
P.S.
The U.S. has a lot more to worry about than a few .50 cal rifles, Russia has had it's best year in arms sales since the dissolution of the USSR, we're talking about heavy, tactical and strategic offensive weaponry. Guess where it all went?

Your Dlask looks good Nighthawk, very good!
But why are all the markings in white, prescribed by the law?

IFAIK, they had some minor tolerance problems a few years ago. I seemed that they didn't take into account the thickness of the anodyzing, thus the holes were tight when trying to build up a lower from a stripped receiver and adding the LP kit. Also, the takedown pins were tight for that reason and the magwell. If you can handle the gun in the shop and try to insert your own mags and take down the upper/lower receiver properly, there should be no problem. I would have no hesitation to buy the rifle in those circumstances

Personally, I like the markings in white. They came that way. If you check their website, the new ones are not all in white. Not sure if you could request that.
Standard issue AR-15 magazines drop free and sit very well. I've heard it does not handle thermold mags very well but that kind of magazine is hard to find in my neck of the wood.

Dlask does NOT mill a bevel at the back of the mag well on his lowers, so Thermolds do NOT fit properly. Solution ... file off the plastic boss at the back of the Thermold mags ... about five minutes work each, and the mags will still work perfectly in the other brand lowers.
Originally, Dlask had SOME of their receivers powder coated, before they started in anodising. The powder coating can build up and make things tight. Anodising usually does NOT change clearances very much. Joe anodised a couple of Norinco previously painted lowers for me, and the finish turned out excellent. In fact, they match my OLYMPIC uppers almost perfectly.
Speaking of AR 15 receiver clearances, one of my OLY flat top uppers and one of my NORC lowers are WAY tighter than my Dlask upper and lower. And of the dozen or so mags I've got, only one does not drop free from my Dlask lower. These things vary, for most any brand, which is why it is always a good idea to buy a hand matched UPPER/LOWER combo when ever possible.
At least with the Dlask parts [ and even with the Norc parts too ] you can't slip a dime between the uppers and lowers, like you can with some VERY expensive Colt factory built rifles.
The main complaint I have about the Dlask AR 15 rifles are the notorious "roll pins" used to retain the front sight base to the barrel. I've never had a problem with the roll pins on my Dlasks, but they do offend my esthetic senses.
see the long thread about Roll pins elsewhere in this forum.
of course,
YMMV

True. Guns exported for general resale in Canada are for just that.
Most other countries don't have this benefit, and named end users are required, in many cases LEO/GOV end users only. Canada has about the equivalent of a 'most favoured nation status' in regard to US sporting purpose firearms. Only an issue if someone wants to export it, then it's Can/US licenses required.

I've never had any AR dealings with Dlask, but, I have had:
-A 1911 Dlask barrel and bushing fitted/installed
-A Beretta CX4 barrel threaded for a FH
-A Dlask 870 12.5" barrel made and fit for my 870.
-Mini-30 site work done
-Re-bluing of various firearms
Jo has always been kind and courteous and the prices were always fair and accurate. Time frames were also fairly accurate (maybe off by a day or two on some jobs). All of my dealings have been great.
Right now my 870 is in his shop getting fitted for Ghost Ring Sights.
I expect everything will go smoothly (I can hardly wait).
I've read some old posts about DLASK and some bad AR related accessories - It brings the following saying to mind: "A happy customer might tell some of his friends, an unhappy customer will tell everyone he knows."
Go for it, if you can't by US made AR's then buy a Canadian made AR
Enjoy it!!

My gunshop is waiting for a reply from Dlask! So, as all the feedback i got from you guys was+, i guess it depends on the end price i would have to pay, shipping and specially taxes will inflate it quite a bit so........let's hope it will be an AR from
