If you want t be taken seriously the facts matter. In 2013 the RCMP received from JR one of the rifles we imported, and two control rifles that had been imported by TSE and MD Charlton respectively. The RCMP determined that one of the control rifles was a converted auto. They then further decided that the PE90 rifles being sold as Classic Green etc were variants of the SG550. Our gun was determined to be a PE90, just as the other control rifle was, it was NOT a converted auto or different variant.
While JR did apologize publicly for his actions it was not until 2018 that JR provided an apology to CSC for claiming we were selling converted auto or military weapons.
JR had not been the primary importer or retailer of the rifles for some years prior to 2013 and at the time MD Charlton was the importer.
FWIW all of the story as described is borne out by the RCMP documents that were released after FOIP requests and can fairly easily be found on line.
It's true that these matters have been resolved, but the story was not quite as you described.
Nice to see you hoping in. Do you still have the detailed write up on your site? I am shocked by the amount of accounts I see white-knighting for a known blade.
If JR somehow manages to win his OIC challenge and do some good for the firearms community I will put the SA situation in the past. Until then, I will keep viewing him as a gun-grabber.
