It's apparent from the 1st post that it is an AR10/AR102 variant.
All AK variants are prohib except for the few Valmet manufactured models that the Liberals specifically exempted by naming NR back in the day. As such any non-genuine Valmet (aka not manufactured by the defunct Finnish Valmet company whose rights are held by Husqavarna now if I am not mistaken) is just another prohibited AK variant. In short, a clone can be made but it will be classified as a standard AK as the distinguishing characteristics that determine the difference between an AK and a Valmet are that a Valmet is made by the Valmet company in Finland.
the blaze 47 was not made to the specifications of a Valmet m78 datapack. it did not have the receiver dimensions etc
were a company to actually attempt to license the datapack and name Valmet and reproduce an m78 valmet i dont see how the rcmp could classify it as anything but NR under current legislation. no one has tried though.

The name is not for sale/license, I have heard of a few attempts to procure it.
If I recall correctly the blaze 47 wasn’t deemed an AK 47 variant by the RCMP, it was deemed to be the same gun as a named prohibited variant from an OIC back in the C68 days ( Mitchell Arms AK 22 I think). No choice other than it to be prohibited due to the OIC. I’m sure even at the lab they thought it was wrong and not an AK but the OIC wouldn’t give them a choice.

You wont see these before 2 month, basically this "teaser" from IRG was just to take away some attention from the incoming Troy102 from SRFC and JR so people don't go mayhem on the Troy102 IF it dropped sooner.
They don't even have to rush it or post pictures because the Troy has been anodizing for 5 weeks now lol and promises for pictures been trailing.
Just a matter of who will grab the market first
Get a stag 10 and enjoy ur summer, and get this thing when it comes out!You wont see these before 2 month, basically this "teaser" from IRG was just to take away some attention from the incoming Troy102 from SRFC and JR so people don't go mayhem on the Troy102 IF it dropped sooner.

SFRC botched the Troy debut. Just look at how little posts are in those threads and how often they had to be locked. Thhey should have made the announcement months later than they should have. Shenanigans.
You don't need to license jack squat. If you build a brand new rifle and say it's a VARIANT of the M78 that is enough, as the precedent for variants made by OTHER manufacturers being the same as the parent is already there. Why do you think a Radical Arms AR-15 is restricted even though it doesn't say Colt on it? Make it walk like a duck and talk like a duck using same calibers (7.62x39, .223, and .308), same profile furniture, same barrel length etc., call it ABC Gun Company M78, and guess what, you'd be good to go. This is not a hard concept to understand. Play the entire variant bullshtt against them.
