I disagree with that take on the X95. I’m used to the C7/C8 and I transitioned the x95 seamlessly. I’ve also qualified on the SA-80, now that’s ####ty rifle. The X95 is great honestly. I put also 10k rounds through mine with zero issues. I have two AR’s as well and I prefer them but the X95 is great and a good compliment to the AR’s (one 14.5 and one 20”)

Anything semi-auto that shoots centrefire ammunition has a minimum barrel length of 18.6 inches to be non-restricted.
You can have shorter but it then becomes restricted.
100% this.
It only takes a little bit of work to adapt to an X95. In some ways it is better than an AR.
I have 4 ARs and have been an AR guy for 30 years. I had no trouble adapting to the X95.
Uhhhhhhhhh ......... you did the PAL course to get your PAL didn't you? They cover the whole barrel length with with respect to restricted classification in Canada.
A SA rifle with a barrel shorter than the 18.5 that you don't like, will be restricted, which you don't want.
I do, I just don’t remember the definitions; it’s not like I ever need to determine if a rifle is R on my own anyways. I was just asking them if they were importing shorter barrels; the second part was just thoughts. Don’t need to tunnel vision on it
Yeah I have my license, I just don’t remember the barrel length definitions since I never really need to use it, the shops will tell me when it’s R anyways. Thanks for clearing it up thoughI have 4 ARs and have been an AR guy for 30 years. I had no trouble adapting to the X95.

I've only handled 5.56 in the X95. And I've got no issue inserting the magazine into the mag well. Anyone who moans or complains about it got thinner skin than Trojan Diet Condom. Practice makes perfect.

You a Poly-spy circle-jerking the community or a genuine buffoon? If you took your PAL you'd know that any semi-automatic centrefire firearm less than 18.6" is restricted.
Well it’s shorter overall while still attaining a higher velocity due to barrel length. My X95 with an 18.5” is shorter than my 14.5” AR. I found the bolt release to be better for emergency reloads, integrated irons that take up no additional space are some. For cons, the trigger out of the box is terrible, the height over bore is brutal, and the over gassing is pretty noticeable. The AR is a better system overall but the X95 has some very good features as well. I like both, but if I had to chose one I’d go with the AR15.
Factory IWI 18.6" cold hammer forged nitride coated barrel 1/7 twist.
still cheaper than sylva.
IRG is offering the RESTRICTED model for $1399 USD/$1934CDN before their import fees/taxes/ect, comes out to just a little cheaper and limited to range use only.
Non restricted version we can trade it among our friends freely with just a reference number to disrupt the cookie crumb trail.
