Last I checked the AR10 is restricted by name....good luck!
Maybe you should check the regulations, because if you did you'd realize that no, the AR-10 is not restricted by name.

The AR15 is restricted by name. No where in the regulations does the term "AR10" exist.

Obviously you don't understand fully how that played out under the law or why. And why the law as written can allow for that to happen vs this scenario which is different.
What happened in Quebec last month?

AR10 was never restricted by name.
Yes you are right on the money... The Lab will not announce the classification for this rifle until "It" is changed...Which logic tells me why the delay in the announcement of this riifle's classification. The last thing the RCMP wants right now (after what happened in Quebec) is to explain to the publicly why someone can purchase an AR15 style assault rifle and walk out with it 2 minutes after paying for it.

If that was the game plan, the lab would have stalled the two armalite entries as well. And they didn't.
Those are more important than the nea entry.

I can understand your confusion, but here it is in a nutshell. The AR-15 is "named" restricted, all other rifles in the OIC were "named" Prohibited. There was no change in the laws. This is why we have Rifles like the Tavor, XCR, ACR, etc. that are Non-restricted. The AR-15 is "named" restricted because of lobbying by the DCRA, ORA, and others as the AR-15 was a popular Rifle for Service Rifle Matches. The RCMP can't just put the NEA 102 on the list, that is up to the Federal Government. They can declare it a variant of the AR-15 like the AR-10 Rifles that are actually based on the AR-15. The original is the AR-10 though and how can it be a variant if it is a clone of the original design?
Have I left anything important out?
The point is ...the armalite decision was made before the shooting. They didn't have a reason to stall....Now they do after the Quebec shooting because of public opinion.
I guess you missed my point... I am not talking about the chicken and the egg analogy... I know full well under current law , if the rifle gets a classification it would be NR....But the tricky thing is the RCMP know they don't have to give us an answer on the classification of NEA102 so they will just leave it..Until they don't "Have to" classify it NR.

They can stall all they like, they don't write the laws, and the laws haven't been changed in regard to what makes a Rifle prohibited, restricted, or non-restricted in a long time.
Also the firearms community is much more organized now than they were back when the OIC went through in the 90's.

Maybe. Until then it is as it is.
