Macabee SLR
- Thread starter ARS-031
- Start date
Horsecops "banned it" but the government didn't so that means you "can't" use it (You run the risk of confiscation by cops and a legal battle to show an rcmp prohib isnt a legal prohib) nor can you turn it in for compensation.... lol but don't do that anyways. So not technically banned but its a legal nightmare. use at your own discression.

It's not in the OIC and the FRT list isn't law. Do with that what you will.
they magically changed their mind from "not an AR15 variant" to a "variant" a month after the OIC, and changed the FRT on the SLR to prohibited. happened a day or two before they did the same thing with the ATRS modern sporter, which is ironic considering MS owners routinely bashed the SLR for not being AR15-enough.
FRT isn't law, but they went after ATRS for continuing to manufacture and sell the MS. so you take your chances by bringing it out.

I have a firearms legal defense policy and asked them a few months ago about the firearms that had their FRT’s changed (SLR, ATRS, etc..). Hope this gives some clarity. If you plan on owning a SLR, the $100/yr for these policies is a wise investment. Notice how “Law” is capitalized in the response.
Q: in regards to firearms that the RCMP lab changed classifications on the FRT post may 1st OIC. Does my insurance policy still cover me if I am using a non restricted firearm that the RCMP changed the FRT to Prohib. After the may 1st OIC as they are only prohib on the FRT?
A: This will depend on what you’re planning on doing and type of charge you receive. The policy does not respond to individuals who go out of their way to get charged so you will need to keep that in mind. The policy is designed to protect legal gun owners who follow the law and find themselves charged regardless. As long as you continue to follow the LAW then you should expect the policy to respond granted the charge you receive falls within the coverage of the policy.

I know this has probably been debated, but this hurts my brain.
The person in charge of granting the MDI SLR Non-restricted status, changed the classification 2-3 years after to prohibited. Does this not scream incompetence? I don't recall seeing any of this brought up in the recent court battle. Why was it approved in the first place, was that a mistake? Why was it changed to prohibited, is this action malicious?

Alberta Tactical Rifle Supply manufactures the ATRS Modern Sporter, a rifle that is very similar to the MDI SLR, both were classified by the RCMP as NR long before the May 1st IOC, and both were then changed after the May 1st IOC to Prohibited. Alberta Tactical is suing the CFO and RCMP for 70MM I believe, after they were shut down and asked for customer receipts for all guns sold after May 1st. A lot of folks, myself included have been donating to ATRS for their legal costs. If ATRS wins, this will also be a win for Macabee.

Dip sh1t Murray argues that while his magic 8 ball previously told him that they weren’t AR15 variants, when he checked again after May 1 he noticed that they were AR10 variants, and with the AR10 outright prohibited, so are the SLR and all three ATRS rifles.

Dude you realize you have no coverage right? Whomever wrote that response just wants your money, any government or classification disputes aren't covered by this. You are literally throwing your money away if you think you have any sort of coverage when it comes to classification. Take it from someone in the insurance industry, what you purchased isn't worth the paper it's written on when it comes to classification. You MAY have coverage if you happen to defend yourself with a prohibited weapon but even that would have to meet a definition of self defense. These policies are ok for minor disputes with uneducated cops but worthless for what you bought it for. 9/10 claims are denied and most that aren't are pleaded out on first appearance, it's a cash cow for the broker, that's about it.
