You guys check this out yet? It's new from Remington and is styled similar to the AR-15, but it's only chambered for small calipers (223 rem & 204 ruger). So shes not for large game, but maybe in the future Remington will offer it in large game rounds.

Mean looking rig, what?

Write your MP and cc the Ministers of Justice and Public Safety. Tell him you're a big fan of Remingtons, and want this as your new coyote rifle. You wouldn't happen to hunt for a living do you? Just bought it, now denied the ability to work? 20" Remmy with a 5 shot mag is restricted? Makes no sense. No toys for the kids if you can't hunt. Special exemption? Etc?

It's a 20" AR15, it's restricted by name, not by feature. The R-15 will be a popular varmint gun in basically the rest of the world. It, and others like it, should be popular varmint guns in Canada as well.

Time to start the 'derestrict the R-15' campaign? Maybe Remington could help, redeem themselves a bit in Canada:pirate: If Remington AND the RFC/CSSA/OFAH/etc got behind a push to derestrict the rifle for hunting in Canada, maybe the CPC could be convinced to make a slight change to the OIC which restricted the 18.5"+ AR15 in the first place, or draft a new OIC as done with the Valmet Hunter. The AR15 has it's place as a hunting rifle, and is the Lee Enfield of today in regards to learning to shoot.

Finally, for the fiscally minded, if the 20" AR15 were deemed non-restricted, prices would plummet.

So, I don't see the R15 only as a Bushmaster with a bad paint job, I see Remington being denied sales of a hunting rifle in Canada, and I see Canadians being denied a Remington for hunting.

If we don't ask, we won't get.

Whaddya think?
 
flat black that wouldnt be a bad looking gun, but my god that camo is hideous, especially the stretching around the grip and stock of the top photo.
why does everything have to be camo these days?:rolleyes:

if youre interested in a non-restricted gun like this check out the AR-180b.
 
I'm guessing they made it camo, cause it makes it look more like a "Hunting" rifle to the non-gun types. If it was flat black it would look "scarier" to the gereral public.
 
they should have disguised it with wood-grain stickers then :)
(that the customer could peel off later)

sheeple are just as afraid of camo as they are of flat black - both are evil violent colors that have the power to subvert minds and turn gun owners into mass murderers :rolleyes:

Why dint I ever think of that? Why Remington stamping there name onto a Bushmaster must make it non-restricted!

Yeah,why not smartass?As far as I know,CFC doesn't use logic or common sense any other time?AR variants are restricted only because they look scary,and isn't it the mag,and not the rifle,that violates their rules/laws?Therefore,why should a "new":jerkit: model by a different manufacturer be restricted when it comes factory with a compliant mag?And why in hell are any AR variants restricted in the first place?

I just asked a simple Q,ie:"is the R15 already restricted?",can do without the ridicule.:slap:
 
Anything using the AR15 action is restricted by nature, no matter how pretty and harmless it looks. It doesnt matter what mag you have or what color it is. That is why the AR180B is non-restricted even though it looks plenty evil, because it uses a different operating mechanism.
